Yeo third Lion to be traded in AFL

Elliot Yeo continued the AFL exodus of players from Brisbane on Thursday when he was traded to West Coast in exchange for draft pick No.28.

The Lions also confirmed Sam Docherty’s move to Carlton and a complicated trade involving Greater Western Sydney that sends Jared Polec to Port Adelaide.

With less than a day left in the trade period, Billy Longer also hopes to go to St Kilda and Collingwood are keen to recruit Patrick Karnezis.

Yeo, 20, has played 27 senior games for the Lions since his debut last season.

The WA native had requested a trade to the Eagles last month.
