That makes me sad. We should've chased harder for him. He's similar to Fyfe...we could be having two of them play for us, and he was a Freo fan to boot. F**king hell.
Bond and Lloyd were too busy chasing Victorians who were never going to come here and ignoring players who actually want to play for us.

It's Elliot Yeo.
Not Peter Bell or Tony Modra.
Yeo is better than Suban, Mzungu, De Boer and Barlow.
He can also even play forward, take a contest mark and kick straight so he's better than Mayne too. Can defend as well.

Only cost West Coast a 2nd rounder.

And story goes HIS old man was knocking on Freo's door begging us to take him prior to the him "choosing" WC but was told that we had enough of his type on the list and if his boy wanted to get a regular game he should look up the road for a trade.

Doh!! :mad:

Kram81 do you think last year's GF has affected Darling this yr?
Last years GF affected Darling so much he had to go Gluten free in his diet so he could finally stop constantly shitting himself.

Thing is we were desperate for talls, so we would have had to trade for another second rounder to be able to get Yeo and bring in the talks we were after.

They traded pick 28 for him. Our second rounder was pick 37... Alex Pearce.

Hindsight would have seen us choose Darling over poor Jayden Pitt and his dicky heart; trade that second round pick for Yeo; and take a punt on that overweight and unfit McGovern kid. And hopefully somehow squeeze a second rounder somewhere else to pick up Alex Pearce. But hindsight is wonderful. While the weags might enjoy the work Brad Shepard does for them, I'm sure if they could go back they'd use that pick 7 they had on Fyfe rather than him.

Fyfe would have gone pick 1 retrospectively.
