Early life

Elliott was born in Lorne, Victoria to mother Fiona and father Gary.^{[citation needed]} Some of his childhood was spent in Dongara, Western Australia before his family moved to Queensland.^{[citation needed]} His father died when he was a teenager and his family moved to Euroa, Victoria.^[2]

Elliot began playing junior football at the Euroa Football Club, playing his first senior matches there in 2009.^[2] In 2010 he played for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup.^[3]

In 2011 he nominated for the AFL Draft. He represented Victoria Country at the 2011 AFL Under 18 Championships.^[2] In his draft year he was invited to play two games for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).^[4] His performances during the year saw him pre-listed by Greater Western Sydney as one of 10 players as part of an AFL deal to on-trade players to other AFL clubs in exchange for draft picks.^[2] As part of this deal Elliott was traded to Collingwood at the end of 2011.^[5]

AFL career

Elliot made his debut for Collingwood in round 9, 2012, against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.^[6]

In round 2, 2013, he set three career bests, kicking five goals, taking ten marks and sixteen kicks in a 17-point comeback win over Carlton.^{[citation needed]}

Elliott had a good start to the 2014 season, but later in the year he was restricted by a recurring hamstring injury.^[7] During March of that year he was diagnosed with hamstring tendinitis.^[8]

Elliott kicked 35 goals in 2015, making him Collingwood’s most prolific goalkicker.^[9] He missed the 2016 season, due to back surgery.^[10]

He played 17 games and kicked 34 goals during the 2017 season, but missed the 2018 season due to ankle surgery.^[10]

Elliott played 16 games in 2019, and was the subject of extensive rumours that he would be traded from Collingwood,^[11] with Melbourne, Hawthorn, the Western Bulldogs, and North Melbourne all being cited as potential destinations.^[12] Ultimately, Elliott decided to remain at Collingwood.^[13]

In 2022 Elliot kicked a goal after the siren to win the game for Collingwood against the Essendon Bombers in round 19.^[14] In round 23 Elliot won the game for his team again against the Carlton Blues after coming back from 4 goals down at three-quarter time.^[15]
