And, out of all the tattoos on his arms, chest and legs, there is a special one - on his inner bicep - that pays tribute to his father, also named Jamie.One of those siblings is Caitlyn Elliott, who Jamie affectionately referred to as a “devil child” when they were growing up.Caitlyn was there in the rooms on grand final day after the Magpies’ thrilling four-point win over Brisbane at the MCG.
“Fast forward and here you are with an AFL premiership medal around your neck,” she wrote on Instagram.“Growing up along side you for 30 years, going through some very dark times but also amazing ones. “And then we got to finals and the grand final. Being part of a club for six or seven years and not having the chance to perform on the big stage was disappointing. It’s hard to reflect on because it was a really tough time, and we didn’t get the success either.”Fans and followers were quick to get around Caitlyn’s post.
