Bruce: Were you playing during that game when the Ressies won by 200+ points? Was it the best win you've been a part of?
Elliot Yeo: I was! It was quite a win. I was playing down back for a bit so it didn’t come down much!
IanHaso84: G'day Elliot. Great debut in a difficult match on the weekend. How are you finding the homesickness to be going? Are you keeping in enough contact with your family and mates?
Elliot Yeo: Hi Ian, the homesickness has been OK so far, I don’t mind Brisbane at the moment. I do miss mum’s cooking every now and then though. I keep in contact with the family and friends a fair bit :)
Jesse: Which area are you looking to improve on most/first?
Elliot Yeo: Hi Jesse, most likely my strength
yakman: Hey Elliot, how is life up in Brisbane being away from your family? Have you found a girl yet? And who was your mentor and idol growing up?
Elliot Yeo: Haha, nah no girl yet, still playing the field. I was a big fan of Peter Bell and my dad had a big influence on my footy
Leah: What's been the hardest part about training with an AFL team? Are you used to it now?
Elliot Yeo: Hi Leah, the intensity was one of the hardest parts, but I am getting used to it now! :)

Elliot Yeo: I play a bit of FIFA, and have been playing some horse racing games lately

IanHaso84: Great to hear, buddy. I hope the older Lions boys are looking after you too.
Elliot Yeo: They do. Dan Rich helps me out a bit, and Blacky also has a quiet word or two every now and then
Jerred: Hey Elliott, have you bulked up much since starting at the Lions?
Elliot Yeo: Hi Jerred, I’ve put on around 5kgs since being here! :)
ginganinja: Hey Yeo, there are a lot of gingers at the Lions. You got a favourite?
Elliot Yeo: Good question...All the gingers here are pretty good, but I’d say Josh Green because I hang around him most out of all of them
Anthony: Hey Elliot, great debut on the weekend. What was the feeling in the group at three quarter time against the Roos when we were coming back? The boys would have been confident after North dropped a similar lead the week before…
Elliot Yeo: Thanks Anthony we were quite excited, but still had level heads at the same time. We threw everything at them, just left it too late.
Aly: I’ll be your girl haha..... Who do u room with Elliot?
Elliot Yeo: Haha, thanks for the offer! At the moment I’m with Pat Wearden and Brad (Snag) Harvey

Elliot Yeo: Haha, um not really. I was just trying to break it up.
james: Was there a particular club you hoped to be drafted to? Also, how did you spend the day before the Draft?
Elliot Yeo: Hi James, not really. I just wanted to get on an AFL list :) Happy to be at the Lions though!
Molly: Did your parents and family get to watch your first game??
Elliot Yeo: Yes, they did. Most flew over to come watch me play, which was a handy support base
Monica: Who does the cooking in your house?
Elliot Yeo: Everyone just takes turns, but whenever Weardo cooks I just grab a subway instead!
Sheryn and Roger: Hi Elliot - we love watching you play. What is your favourite meal?

Elliot Yeo: I was when I first got to the club, but now everything’s all good :) haha

shaniqwa: I WANT TO DATE YOU PLEASE MARRY ME???
Elliot Yeo: Is this Ash?
Ben: Elliott, I'm 15 and a massive Lions fan. I was just wondering what areas of your game you worked on the most as a kid to separate yourself from the rest of the group and get drafted?
