Elliott lived in Dongara, Western Australia before his family moved to Queensland. His father died when he was a teenager and his family moved to Euroa, Victoria where he played for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup. In 2011, he was invited to play two games for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]
Elliott was traded to Collingwood at the end of 2011 in a deal with Greater Western Sydney (GWS) whereby GWS could pre-list players and on-trade to other clubs.[3] He made his debut in round 9, 2012, against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.[4]
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.[5] During March of that year he was diagnosed with hamstring tendinitis.[6]
Elliott kicked 35 goals in 2015, making him Collingwood’s most prolific goalkicker.[7] He missed the 2016 season, due to back surgery.[8]
He played 17 games and kicked 34 goals during the 2017 season, but missed the 2018 season due to ankle surgery.[8]
Elliott played 16 games in 2019, and was the subject of extensive rumours that he would be traded from Collingwood,[9] with Melbourne, Hawthorn, the Western Bulldogs, and North Melbourne all being cited as potential destinations.[10] Ultimately, Elliott decided to remain at Collingwood.[11]

Notes
Individual
Jamie Elliott is called Billy Elliott after the film about the kid from the north of England who discovers ballet on his way to a boxing class. Few nicknames casually conceived could fit as well.
