Jamie Elliott could have been a Brisbane Lions player on Saturday (he considered a tempting Brisbane offer after the 2019 season), but he’s happy with what he’s achieved in his dozen years with Collingwood, given where he came from.
While Craig McRae exhorts his Collingwood players to remain in the moment, Jamie Elliott finds it hard not to imagine what it would be like to become a premiership player on Saturday.
“The more I look back at that, there’s no point,” Elliott said of his absence from the 2018 grand final and season. “May as well not dwell on it.” “I wouldn’t say it’d be a failure because I feel my career, in terms of where I’ve come from, basically started from nothing and here I am, 170-odd games. I’m pretty happy with what I’ve done, but then I’d love to cap it off.”lost Daniel McStay,
“So scoreboard pressure is massive, especially in finals where some players might feel nerves and get a little bit nervous about kicking for goal or the game, it plays big part in people’s minds, in players’ minds, so definitely take your chances.”
