In May 2012, Elliot Yeo made his AFL debut in the Lions' Round 9 match against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.^[2]

In October 2013, Yeo requested a trade to the West Coast Eagles. Late in the trade period, the Lions and the Eagles finalised a deal in which Yeo would join the Eagles in return for a second round draft pick (pick 28).^[3] On 24 October 2013, he was officially traded to the Eagles.^[4] Yeo received the jumper number 6 which was vacated by the retiring Mark Nicoski. Yeo played his first game for the Eagles in round one of the 2014 season against the Western Bulldogs.
