Prediction Player Claim for 2018 - Jamie Elliott

[Soups]

Who would want him at the Moment except Us?

No idea Dave. Maybe he thinks another team can fix his broken body.

On his talent a number of clubs would take the punt on him.

They may feel he’s talent is better than player 39 or 40 on their list regardless.
How much they pay well football is speculation regardless. I’d feel they’d offer a later pick or so but he’s greatly talented.
Eg far superior to a Fasolo.

We need to keep him and cross fingers.

He’s actually our biggest HURT because of what he would give us. That is xtra factor we just miss out on.

Out of contract and on 500k p.a. Article also mentions that it is believed that the Pies salary cap is tight.

What's his worth? How high a priority is retaining him?

I think with his body he has to take a pay cut.... and would only offer a 2 year deal max.

That was around $500k in $10m TPP world so $500k in the current $12m TPP world is effectively a pay cut. I think they'll work on a 2 year deal at about that and there's nothing to stop him earning a significant payrise beyond that if he gets his body right. He's still only 25 remember. If he doesn't get the body right then 2 years may tragically see him out.

500k of 12m is still 1/24th of the salary cap for a bloke whose only been able to play 17 games out of the last 50 odd games.

For mine he should drop down to 2x 350k p.a. Lower money, also lowers the scrutiny.... ask Cloke, Mayne, Wells, Boyd, etc.

Also need some to take paycuts if we are to fit in others

Nice if it worked that way but I doubt he'll be getting any less than his previous contract, even if there are additional performance measures included. You balance the signing of Elliott on his rumoured current $450-500k with recent signings of Stephenson, Sier, Crocker et al who'd all be on less than the estimated league average of $380-400k. I'm sure we can accommodate him.

This may be the least successful player claim thread ever but things finally look like they're on the up.

Good to see Jamie back doing what he does best

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Just be such a mega boon for us if he is back up and about.

Our biggest single hurt point this past few years.*


* Dane Swan injury aside I guess.

Such a smooth mover. Can’t wait to see him back in the team.

I reckon he's the one Bucks wants in too.

 

[unplugged]

Reckon this is the turning point in his career, once he comes back in he will stay in for a while. Just hope he continues to show some of the form he was displaying last season.

 

[Soups]

Really hope he can get some continuity on the field now. He can play a big part in the finals.

Love the balance and thud as hands clamp on the ball. A firing Elliott can mean all the difference this year.

We get near best 22 over next month (and keep them) and we could be legitamate contenders.

One game in the VFL next week and straight in..........or sack Bucks.

Won’t be any worse than Crocker!

No comment!

I’m finding it hard to believe that Jamie’s fit again! He will return to a forward line that’s completely transformed since he last played. Then he can take his turn at kicking three or four goals a game. Join our cosy group of forwards who’ve been picnicking in front of goals for most of the year.

 

[whiskeytown]

Hope they don't consider him til round 21 vs Lions at Etihad. Rd 19 game vs Tigers will a high intensity game to return to and rd 20 vs Swans involves flights... which may complicate recovery.

Needs to build in the VFL over the next month up from 40% to 85-90% game time and then come in to seniors and build again from there. Need him peaking by rd 23.

Super super critical to our finals aspirations.

We have to make finals first

 

[Tazzaye]

Elliott and Stephenson are going to tear their defenders a new one

 

[DuckToaster]

Can't wait for him to come in round 19 and kick a bag against Richmond.

Be nice to see him join the 5 club. That well has dried a little over recent weeks.

 

[whiskeytown]

With us only needing 2 wins from the last 7 games... I called finals for us after last weeks win.

Top 4 however...

And I know I’ve said this many times before, but....

Jamie Elliott is our biggest hurt point.
He is worth so much to us, elite talent level.

Just marine we have Will Hoskin-Elliott, Jordan De Goey, Jaiyden Stephenson surrounding the big boy Cox complimented by Jamie Elliott.

Then players like Thomas, Treloar when back, Sidebackside all running through.
Yikes for the opposition.
