I got told we did everything we could to keep him, out of the go home 5. Not sure who to believe thoughGarry Lyon just said On The Couch "I am told reliably that Yeo would have stayed at Brisbane for 250K but Brisbane refused to go over 225K" - Wow if true.

Garry Lyon said he has a reliable source that told him Yeo would have stayed in Brisbane for $250k but we wouldn't budge on our offer of $225k. Geez, that's a clanger from our previous footy department if true.
Our board and admin at the time was an absolute shambles so wouldn't surprise me in the least to hear it's true.Heard this too. Was always a special player. If this is true id be shattered.
IIRC this rumour has been out there for a while.
I'd never heard that specifically. I've read comments on here from people saying he was let down by the club in a few ways but never knew him leaving may have ultimately boiled down to a measly $25k.

If true I actually want to cry. Out of the GH5 he is by far the best. Him and Docherty were huge losses.
I know, I remember all the trades.As much as we lost out here, without them leaving theres no squizz, cutler, gardiner.. those guys have really shaped our club and are the first of a wave to say 'this is our club and we arnt leaving'
I know, I remember all the trades.
Taylor for Yeo (pick 28). Lose
McStay for Longer (pick 25) Win
Paine for Karnezis. Draw
Cutler for Docherty (pick 33). Lose
Robertson (pick 34) + Gardiner (pick 21) for Polec and a pick. Win
Won 2, drew 1 and lost 2 IMO. As I said can deal with Docherty because it was for family reasons but would take Yeo every single day of the week ahead of Taylor.
You're probably right but Doch was Carltons best player before he went down.Cutler for Doc isn't a loss just yet. Doc still has to return from an ACL and Cutler is building in his career best form.

It's more or less even but it set us back 2 yearsI know, I remember all the trades.

I struggle to believe that. It just doesn't pass muster unless you're pandering to the "crazy Brisbane" vibe.Garry Lyon said he has a reliable source that told him Yeo would have stayed in Brisbane for $250k but we wouldn't budge on our offer of $225k. Geez, that's a clanger from our previous footy department if true.
Sure it would be a combination of a few things. But if you're at a struggling club, who won't even pay you an extra 25k, when you're already a low earner at the club. What a fantastic reason, as if there already weren't enough at the time to get up and leave.I struggle to believe that.

What Welfare Department - I didn't think we actually had one!It wasn’t money what a bs rumour. Yeo was left out in the cold badly by our welfare department.
He had some pretty shithouse things happen to him hear as well

Maybe he would've left regardless, but its very plausible that Yeo feeling underpaid was the final straw. Eventually everything adds up, we'll probably never know but maybe he was 60:40 on staying and this is what broke the camels back.
