Elliot Yeo joined Barra this morning where they chatted about the progress of his slow recovery from injury and what he is made to do by the club during the games when he's not playing. Barra asked him if he's sick of people asking when he's coming back to play and he gave his thoughts on new players Jobe Shanahan and Malakai Champion. Barra then moved on to Dom Sheed's retirement and got Elliot's reaction to the news and with the news that AFL State of Origin is getting closer to reality, Elliot gave Barra his controversial theory on how it should be played out.

seven jumper straight from seven News Adrian Barras Elliot, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Great to see you mate, Great to see YOEI. It's
a bit like groundhog Day for you for you busy,
your poor bucker coming here too. De Bara and Smiley,
Hey gar mate, getting itchy feet getting close? You're pushing
for a turn? Or is it slightly slightly catch the monkey?
Where are you at?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
How you traveling?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I'm raising the clock now to get fit, so that's
a big thing. And then it's so yeah once you
once you can get fits, like all right, well how
many games do we have left? And then yeah, is
the juice worth the squeeze as well? Depending on the
severity of where I'm at with my load and program
and everything. So there's a few things that we've you know,
I've got to tick off as well. I'm still a
fair bit off in terms of getting his distance in
(01:18):
the legs and trange ther direction and a few other
things as well.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
So I'm fighting the clock.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, so it could be a case of, you know,
you could make your case saying, you know, just sit
it out, just sit it out. I've got to admit
I've already looked at the Waffle games and seen if
we're playing the West Coast Egles.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Against you if your first game.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Back, yeah, mentally and physically probably would.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
So there is a chance you could sit it out. Eh.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, it all depends on the next couple of weeks.
If I can get through then yeah. But as we've
seen this whole year, rehab hasn't been the most linear.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Process for me. So yeah, like your fingers crossed. But yeah,
it's it's hard to say.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Oh yeah, I'd love to be back and all this
stuff because yeah, it's been a bit of a rollerco sedition.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I wonder if it's worth it. Yeah, Hey, what's your
match to a job? Say it off? Just the other
night against the Giants, do you do you have a
gig to do on that day, or you're more just
supporting the players.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It has to work. Yeah you're more.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, you obviously support the players, but then the club
make you do a few appearances in a few boxes maybe,
So yeah, you chat to a few of like you
go on those big corporate boxes as well, you know
the one hundred people plus ones you go on there,
talk to all the fans and the people there and
just talk about the game and are you seeing it?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So you must get real sick of being asked, hey
you traveling when you come.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Out, you get used to it, really like you exactly,
you literally just have your your written response roll.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Job Shanahan were found one there at the Eggs.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
He looks he looks good, doesn't he reads the ball?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Well? I think he's you know, you put some size
on him, so I think he's going to have some
real impacting games. And you know, once he gets a
hundred dance plus. So yeah, he looks like a good player.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Allie, what a day before Malachai Champion With a name
like Champion, I just know he's destined for big things.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
In the Champion bloke.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Speaks well too, great kid, great kid.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I watched the Waffle game the week before, and he's
probably one of the ones that just looked the most
dangerous out there.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
He was doing some things and he probably.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Didn't touch it as much, but his pressure which ended
up getting selected in the first place. But he's pressure
around the ground for his role. And then just the
small things as well, a little knock on taps and
stuff like that that you don't see on the stat sheets,
but things that just look really good and help the team.
So yeah, it was good to see him get a
reward for that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Looks like Jamie Cripps is going to go on I
read as well, which I guess you need that experience.
Is that what they're looking at?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, I would have thought so so, and look to
be hones stuff up till probably the first half and
then he went out with his knee.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
He was looking pretty good.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
He was playing his role, so look he's you know,
last week I think everyone was probably off their best
as well. But the week before that Collingwood I thought
everyone played well, So yeah, I would have thought Cripper
deserves it.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
You know, he's I think, what two hundred and fifty games.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, been fantastic for the football club and old head
and leads him the right way.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So last week you didn't get to chalk about Dom,
she did you? I mean, this is it's quite remarkable
from the twenty eighteen Premiership. It's down to five now,
isn't it? The five of your left?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah? Quick, and you're one of those.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's so many afterwards. And I was like, oh, don't
follow mate.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Reaper nick off mate. But what about Dommy?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I read will Willie Rioli today saying how he didn't
even know Don was on the ground. He was he
was sort of protecting the ball and then Dom marked
it and then he knew he was going to kick
it because at Sube remember the race and you guys
used to go up at training and you just practice
kicking from there, and dommised to always do it. You
used to always do it. He just knew because of training.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
And then I always thought, as well, we because that
spot and Don was a left footer as well, We've
missed a lot of easy, easy goals in that last quarter.
And I was like, Dom's pretty cheeky and he's going
to kick this on his left and he's nailed it,
and I was like, all right, sweet, And then it's
almost like there's two minutes left and you go, oh
(05:29):
my god, what are we going to do now? So
then you flip into we had a system and then yeah,
from that point on it was like, all right, how
can we try and save the game two minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
What about them saying they were going to put his
statue up in Calgooli for him of the kick?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah why not?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
A couple of other issues just we'll just quickly say
have you heard State of Origin footy coming back February
next year?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
About that? But obviously there's a lot of water to
go under the with it all.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
But there's there's don't happen. I reckon it will happen.
They'll rotate it with the Indigenous game. Would would you
want to play?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Look, you would like to, But I think if it's
just an exhibition game and a bit of Bruce free
footy and fair then you know, you'd probably be okay
with it, a bit like the Indigenous game free on that,
like it's a bit of fun. We just go out
there to get a kick, have a bit of fun,
shake hands in that. But if they want it to
be serious, then you'd have to compensate the players a
fair amount, and then you'd have to probably change where
(06:27):
it's been played in terms of the timing of it.
Have theory, but yeah, I mean, we probably don't have
enough time for my theory.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So I love your theories. Yeah, oh you want to
go into it, Let's play. Let's pla you should take.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Let's play it in September. Yeah, let's play in September.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Have it as a curtain raiser, a full round robin,
and then all the players that are playing finals, the
ones that don't make the Grand Final, shuffle them in
and then obviously you get you know, the better players
come in, the more you go on deeper into September
if they don't make if they don't make the JF,
and then you go. But you've got to pay the
players a good and appropriate a good amount to do it,
(07:06):
because it's a high risk, like football is high risk
to go out there. I don't think clubs are going
to like it, regardless of whether it's an exhibition game
or whether it's in September.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
But it's the same as probably the NRL. I don't
think a lot of NRL teams like a you know.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
What, that's better than that new comp they're talking about. Yeah,
we'll talk about that another day. So port Adelaide's Sunday.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Chance absolutely, yeah, absolutely. As you've seen we played Collingwood,
we played really well. The difference best and our worst
is obviously quite big at the moment. So if we
can bridge that gap again this week and play lock
we did it against the Pies, then we're every opportunity.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, Elliott, thank you, and Elliott goodluck against Port Adelaide
this Sunday.
