He is clearly ‘The Man’ we’ve all been waiting to see back flying again for our mighty Pies. Love him!
lets hope he can stay fit and have a 30-40 goal season. If he's out there the goals will come. Still mad he was robbed.

It’s not just he plays well and kicks goals.

It’s the extra pressure he puts on the opposition defence. They know they have to watch him all the time.

And this is no dig at Thomas but the difference is palpable. Elliott operate at a higher level, he’s just better.
Thomas can be a good player but Elliott has it all for a small forward.
If he stays fit he’s A grade to elite. That good.

Magnificent having him back.

I'll happily have both! Elliot is a natural firecracker though and can do it all, Including perfectly weighted 20m handballs under pressure.

It's not surprising that the unwashed masses on the mainboard forgot how good he is and made fun of us for considering him a key out. That's fine though, they're going to learn all about his abilities in 2019.

He is just a natural forward, and he's already shown in 2 games just how much we missed him last year.

Wasn't just the main board, there were posters here arguing he might not merit a spot in the side ahead of the incumbents. Just silly talk.

If fit and healthy he’s A grade and elite to small forward position.


(The addition of Elliott and Moore being both well this season will be to our huge advantage.)

Sure, but he himself had no-one to beat. At all.

Only himself. May have kicked it, may have missed. We've missed a few in that range across 2 games.

I personally don't mind seeing them take the game on. Makes a defensive group so much more nervous, nervous defenders makes mistakes. Didn't work so well last week, this week it worked a treat. And it's not just that instance. There were multiple times where players were happy to dish off to a team mate in a better position. It's what worked for us in 2018 and when properly executed it'll work for us in 2019.

Bring the chaos I say.
 
I assume you noticed that was a post from 2 years ago?
Funny thing... I had to rub my eyes and look again when I saw a couple of days ago that there were recent responses to that post. Don’t think I was being prescient in 2017... Billy was starting to find his previous form after missing 2016, and then we know what happened after that. Hopefully history doesn’t repeat again again. Funny how an ancient post could become relevant and true two years later.
