West Coast are expected to face tough competition to keep a key premiership midfielder in their ranks. Star Eagle Elliot Yeo, who is currently in top form, is without a contract beyond the 2024 season. His return to peak performance this year has likely increased his market value, with rival clubs reportedly showing strong interest in securing his signature.
Despite facing injury setbacks in recent seasons, Yeo has impressed with his performances, earning two All-Australian selections, two best and fairest awards, and a premiership with the Eagles. While West Coast has been pleased with Yeo’s form in 2024, he is attracting attention from rival clubs ahead of his contract negotiations.
Clubs like Geelong and Essendon have previously shown interest in Yeo, and losing him to free agency would likely result in West Coast gaining compensation. Yeo’s availability as a free agent has sparked interest from clubs looking to strengthen their midfield, including St Kilda, Adelaide, Geelong, and Collingwood.
With other key players also approaching free agency, West Coast will need to carefully consider their list management strategy moving forward.
