Bumped Jamie Elliott can become elite

[PieLebo87]

I'm calling it.

The composure, the skills, the efficiency, the X-factor, the hard work. He has all the right traits to become an elite AFL football and is well on his way. Break out season last year, and just looking that level better so far in 2014. Will become elite in a couple of seasons at this rate!

 

[Jonno94]

By position this year he is already elite.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

That goal in the last was sublime

 

[Pendles!]

He's a gun, but how about when he turned inside and kicked it 50m to a 2v2 inside defensive 50... Like wtf? Haha

 

[MeisterBot]

Will be the best of LeCras and Medhurst rolled into one player at this rate. Have to admit though, I think he still has a fair way to go with his field kicking. Some of the work he did in the back half was heart in mouth stuff.

But the thing I love is that he has match winner written all over him. He's so composed and cool under pressure, has ice in his veins and can have an impact all over the ground.

 

[Optimax]

Some of his work getting back and helping out deep in the back line was as awesome as any of his offensive stuff today.

Fantastic work

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

Yes, I think he's better in the forward 50, he's fast becoming my favourite player to watch

 

[doodles98]

Yep, now hes working hard defensively he is already elite imo. At least at this moment in time, over the last 5 rounds he's up there with the best small forwards going around.. Loved his game today.. just worked hard and had an impact in such a high intensity game. I was worried he was going to be a bit of a show boat forward but he's definitely proving me wrong. Love how he's bobbing up in the back pocket now to help out the defense!

Start of last season on AFL 360, Robinson asked Whately who he was most looking forward to after the preseason. He said Elliott as he had all the skills to become a superstar.

Jet and still not close to peaking.

 

[Greening Magic]

Real weapon now that he's able to get around the ground. Been super.

 

[Julius Seizure]

What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold. His forward half disposal is sublime

 

[Green Eggs]

Can be a match-winner or a coach-killer depending on the day. Has all the skills, x-factor and attributes - just needs to smarten up a bit and make better decisions.

He's becoming more consistant the longer he is in the top rants GE, experience means so much.

 

[DThomas]

Possibly my new favourite player. Absolute gun.

 

[Pera]

AA form? I think so atm.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Just needs to stop dropping uncontested marks in the back 50. What's the matter Jamie, not spectacular enough for you?

perhaps the gut running from following his opponent up the field from our forward line to theirs and then competing?

 

[rand corp]

Elliot is a player I really like, has sublime skills, knows where to run and how to get in good spots, kicks goals, was also really important drifting deep into defense in the last. Think he is already one of the best HFF'ers currently playing.

On comparisons, I would’ve said he looks like a quicker Chapman to a degree. He definitely has Medhurst about him.

He’s covering a truckload of ground at the moment, and I love his endeavour about him. Never gives in.

 

[Shellz]

Ayce Buckley seems to think so too.

 

[Tippy78]

Not sure if a HFF/Forward pocket can be "elite"? Would definitely need to add some midfield rotation to his game to ever make it to elite level IMO.

He's a good player right now and hopefully will be a 150 game player for us. Go pies!

 

[Lockyer24]

I got that feeling today too. Just the way he settled down back...never played there before yet who'd know. He has it.

 

[BEEG]

His already a gun best kid I have seen at Collingwood since Beams and Pendles

Just wish we would play him forward more

And is that, um, a smile?

He looks so depressed when he snags a goal.

 

[Ron]

I reckon he is a great kick on goal, but i always worry a bit about his field kicking. Probably more his decision making than anything, not his actual skills.

Only young though, will be a gun for a long time.
