When Jamie Elliott gets the ball inside 50 late in a close game, you can just about put a goal in the book.

Collingwood has been the indisputable king of the close finish since Craig McRae took the helm in 2022 and Jamie Elliott has been the poster-boy of the trademark moments.

For a generation he has delivered a burgeoning package of memorable moments, standing up when it matters most.

5Fremantle v Collingwood, Round 9 2025

Jamie Elliott willed Collingwood over the line at Optus Stadium, kicking three goals in the last quarter and six for the match. He kicked two goals from outside 50 straight out of the blocks after the last change, getting separation on the lead and launching a pair of set shots from range to change the momentum of the game. Fremantle finished the third quarter strongly and trailed by just 15 points, before those goals put the margin out to 27. Just when the Dockers got the margin back to the 15-point three-quarter-time gap, Elliott floated in from the side to take a contested mark, finished the goal and sealed the game.
