Recommitted Jamie Elliott [re-signed with Collingwood for two more years]

[Shade]

It's just time to cut our losses with this bloke.

if he goes on to put it all together well good on him but we cant waste anymore time and effort with the bloke.

We've held on to injury riddled players for the best part of the last decade hoping they come do time to draw a line in the sand.

 

[M Malice]

Agreed, warmer weather might do his hammy's the world of good who knows. Will be a great pick up if some team can get him fit.

We are closer to the Equator.

 

[CWaffles]

I’d welcome him at the Dees too, just on a single year contract with a heavy discount for injuries/missed games - which I presume is exactly what Collingwood are offering him.

I would give him 2 with a trigger clause for a 3rd based on games played.

We are desperate for some skill in our forward 50 so it would be worth the punt.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Still think this is the value free agent

Hope north are after him

Someone on our board heard Brisbane is keen.

 

[J-dog]

I get what you are referring to but it would be downright irresponsible & damn stupid to recruit another player with serious injury concerns after the gaggle we have chewed through the last couple of years.

Understood, but I'd still hope the club is enquiring about him and what exactly his health concerns are. You bring in as many quality players as you can and he is unquestionably a quality player.

 

[CWaffles]

Yes please, he has to be better than what we currently have.

 

[Prochard123]

Another Jarrod Witts situation, we all know how good they can be with just a thing or two going their way... but we also know we won't get what we should in return as compensation.

Elliot if he leaves will probably fetch a late 2nd rounder from FA

Might of Played himself into a New Contract(1 Year Deal) at Collingwood this Evening

He will probably be offered a 2 year deal elsewhere, haven't you guys tabled an offer for him at all?

Not what I have heard but he said he is Desperate to stay at Collingwood and Kicking 5 Today might of got him that New Deal

Hopefully he gets that deal then.

 

[VanDemonxx]

I suspect if Collingwood is only offering 1 year, he will leave and get more years somewhere else

Elliot is a super talent when fit but knowing our history with trading in Collingwood players, Elliot probably turns into a spud at the Dees

Both the club and Elliott want to wait until the end of the season.

hmmm...Dawes, Lumumba, BenKen... am I missing anyone else?

Nope. Combine that will Howe turning from a lazy plodder to a genuine gun after moving to Holden Cntre

Imagine what we could do if Petracca decided to move to us...

Well apparently he has a picture in his wallet of Bucks...probably only a matter of time.

But in all honestly if Jamie and the Pies think its best to continue his career elsewhere then i hope we table a 2 year deal for him.

Assuming that’s a joke, but he was a Pies supporter so I guess it could be possible...

Everything I’ve heard seems to indicate he’s keen to stay at the Pies. I’d be disappointed if we moved him on over a 2 year deal when we picked up the likes of Wells for 3 years on relatively big coin.

Yep first sentence was a joke, but you are right he was a Pies supporter so maybe i'm onto something.

Secondly, you guys would be crazy to let him go over the sake of 12 months. I think Jamie is elite when he is up and running, hopefully you guys can work through his injury concerns and get him playing 20 games a year, but if the Pies do let him go then I would be pretty pissed if we weren't in his ear.

 

[Dogsman16]

I’d love for us to take a punt on this guy. Have the space and a good age profile.

If we only need a 2 year deal to lure him, we (and several other clubs) are insane not to offer him it.

Yep, I think you would find most Vic clubs especially throwing a 2 year deal at him.

 

[Go Woods]

If he finishes out the year strongly, the Pies will retain him, there's a lot of love for Jamie around the club. I'd offer him 2 years.
