Early life

Elliott lived in Dongara, Western Australia before his family moved to Queensland. His father died when he was a teenager and his family moved to Euroa, Victoria where he played for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup. In 2011, he was invited to play two games for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

AFL career

Elliott was acquired by Collingwood at the end of 2011 in a deal with Greater Western Sydney (GWS) whereby GWS could pre-list players and on-trade to other clubs.[3] He made his debut in round 9, 2012, against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.[4]

In round 2, 2013, he set three new career bests, kicking five goals, and amassed ten marks and sixteen kicks in a 17-point comeback win over Carlton.

Elliott had a good start to the 2014 season, but later in the year he was restricted by a recurring hamstring injury.[5] During March of that year he was diagnosed with hamstring tendinitis.[6]

Elliott kicked 35 goals in 2015, making him Collingwood’s most prolific goalkicker.[7] He missed the entirety of the 2016 season, due to his having to undergo back surgery.[8]

He played 17 games and kicked 34 goals during the 2017 season, but missed the entirety of the 2018 season, this time due to ankle surgery.[8]

Elliott played 16 games in 2019, and was the subject of extensive rumours that he would be traded from Collingwood,[9] with Melbourne, Hawthorn, the Western Bulldogs, and North Melbourne all being cited as potential destinations.[10] Ultimately, Elliott decided to remain at Collingwood.[11]
