In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the Australian Football League, West Coast Eagles midfielder Elliot Yeo has confessed to knocking out his own teammate during a series of violent training ground confrontations.
Training Session Turmoil Turns Physical
The explosive admissions came during a candid radio interview where Yeo detailed the pre-season incident that left players battered and team dynamics strained. The dual premiership player revealed he "absolutely clocked" fellow Eagle Jack Petruccelle during what was supposed to be a standard training session.
"I absolutely decked him," Yeo stated matter-of-factly, sending shockwaves through the AFL community. "I got him good."
Multiple Altercations Rock West Coast Camp
The confrontation wasn't an isolated incident. Yeo confessed to being involved in multiple physical altercations during the same session, painting a picture of a training ground descending into chaos.
According to the AFL star, the violence erupted during competitive match simulation drills where tempers flared and professionalism evaporated. The session became so intense that coaching staff were forced to intervene as teammates turned combatants.
Aftermath and Reconciliation
Despite the brutal nature of the incidents, Yeo insisted there were no lasting hard feelings between the players. The 30-year-old revealed that he and Petruccelle had reconciled shortly after the explosive session.
"We sorted it out pretty quickly," Yeo explained, downplaying the severity of the incident. "That's just footy sometimes - emotions run high when you're competing."
Club Response and Damage Control
The West Coast Eagles have yet to make an official statement regarding Yeo's shocking confession. The revelations come at a sensitive time for the club, which is looking to rebuild after a disappointing season.
Training ground fights, while not uncommon in contact sports, rarely result in players being knocked out by their own teammates. The incident raises questions about team culture and discipline within the AFL powerhouse.
As the football world digests these explosive revelations, all eyes will be on West Coast's next move and whether the club will take disciplinary action against their star player for his candid confession.
