Disagree, Hill is on a 4 year deal which gives Collingwood the upper hand.
Sure he had personal issues, but no comparison to JUH!
Hills problems seem also to have been ironed out.
Cleary is talking shit imho!
Worse case we keep him kills it in the next 2 years!
Then you might have Tasmania breathing down his neck
Pies hold the cards with Hill, its overs or he stays!
Both outcomes i would be content.
Would probably be happier if he stays
Arguably when Hill is firing there is no more dangerous small forward then him
What is a fact is any pies player up for trade in any given year ain't worth a bag of beans according to the media, but anyone we go after is suddenly a star on the rise or a gun even if they're 33. Remember when Noble wasn't worth two bob last year but we all knew different and he went to brain it at the suns.

For anyone that can access the article GW has already addressed this.

August 15 the Age “Greame Wright opens up on Carlton, the Voss call and leaving the Pies” he was asked directly about Elliott and part of the response was “I presume he stays at Collingwood. I wouldn’t think he’s leaving…”. My take is they asked the question a while back (which Gleeson seemingly already knew) and Elliott has indicated he’s not interested. I doubt this update is anything more than a check in that it’s still a no.
Direct quote:

“I presume he stays at Collingwood. I wouldn’t think he’s leaving, that’s my view, but I’d certainly be open-minded if Jamie is a free agent and wanted to move. But I haven’t heard that he’s moving.”

In other words it won’t happen, but they’ve asked the question. Good on ‘em I say because it’s the exact same thing we’ve done with Curnow.

The comedy show continues

The beauty is he’ll still be contracted so we’ll still hold the whip hand. Given the long term future of the club is tied to Nick I don’t think we’ll last long into 2028 before he extends because this shit will get tiring real quick.

Everyone would have their own view on this, but for someone earning well over a mil a year, I am not sure it would move the needle when it would require a move to Tassie, ceasing to be a one club player, etc. If we are talking about Nicky D, I don't think that would be a compelling number on its own.
Just to present the opposing view the sign on bonus, player salary and marketing opportunities as a marquee player would be huge. The AFL is designing it to be hard to resist. The hard part would be lack of on field success.
 
Pretty sure the afl wouldn’t let Tassie blow their sign on dollars like that. What a moron.
He chose $3m because that’s the maximum they can spend on a single player with the sign on bonus. He also chose 2028 not 2029 when he enters FA because they no longer have access to the bonus in 2028.
