Former Geelong player Mark Yeates is expected to be charged by Police after a domestic violence incident late last year, according to radio network 3AW.
3AW has reported that Yeates, who played 154 games for the Cats between 1980 and 1990, was arrested at his home in November 2015 and will likely be charged with recklessly causing injury after he was involved in an altercation with wife.
It is believed Yeates' teenage stepdaughter called Police.
Yeates' wife reportedly suffered several injuries and is receiving ongoing treatment.







Everyone ! Yeates is well know for his appalling behaviours – bully & a drunk. Ex Cat – GFC should wipe him !
What a thug Yeates. Not much of a man. Zero tolerance Yeates you gorilla.
Yeates – traded off one incident that he couldn’t even complete and has been beating his chest ever since! You bloody coward Yeates – seriously, you bash a woman ?? Disgusting.
You are right Brett but THIS time Yeates is obviously on Police charges – this guy has done it before – hope they give him what he deserves.
Sadly it sounds like his wife got more than a cheap shot. I wish her a successful recovery & hopefully she has all the support of the AFL community – Yeates should be outed by us all.
Surprised by Yeates ? I’m not. thoughts are with his wife, I sincerely hope she recovers well and he is treated accordingly by all for what he is.
Geelong should take a stand against Yeates. Why would they ever invite him into the club again – No one should turn a blind eye to Yeates behaviour! Disgraceful Yeates
Yeates – seems his reputation continues. How can he be employed as a RISK Manager at a school like Geelong Grammar ?!?
Dangerous dog – loves the grog & getting agro. Seen it myself. Lock him up
Feel for Mrs Yeates – family violence unacceptable YEATES. Your home is not the footy field. Get your act together & respect your family !
