He gas generally been out best forward when fit for the last 10 years plus. I feel it has been Fly being respectful to Billy and letting him make the call on his fitness.

Worked hard today. Hasnt had much luck with bounce of ball.
A lot more involved at all levels than many of his peers. I see no evidence of injuries that posters text about.

He's been doing everything else right every single week. It was just his goal scoring was a bit off. Always had faith he'd get it together. Couldn't believe some were calling for him to be dropped or rested.

Luckily Fly probably never even considered it

No doubt he's had his moments of frustration, but it's an up-and-down sort of game.
He doesn't dummy-spit, always pushes on, and he always comes good.
He enjoyed himself yesterday as well. Lots of hugs and smiles for players and staff.

I actually thought he’s been ok. Not kicking bags but he’s contributing

I think so too. The effort/pressure has always been there, but the reward for it has been slightly harder to come by.

Great game. He was our best forward all night.
When we a little down early, he kept us in the game.

He, Checkers and a firing AJ with Bobby at their feet would be a nice starting mix for a forward line. AJ could be so good for us if he can find the hump to get over to be a regular senior contributor. Ollie Henry would be handy in there now.

Is our most important forward now.
Did he hurt himself in the last quarter? I saw him in a tackle grimacing and then didn't see him again?

Best part of his game last night was his evasion and brush-off of a roving Brian, at BTs after party.
Played it like a cool veteran
BT becoming the master of cringe.

A fit and firing Elliott only bodes well come finals.
Starting to put a string of solid performances together now.
Hard matchup for most clubs.

My heart sunk when I saw him clutch at his shoulder and go straight off. He seemed okay in all footage after the game, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.

It might be a bit like Maynard's.
I think he lives with a level of injury, like Bruzzy does. So he gets knocked and it hurts more.

Oh yeah, his & Bruzzy's shoulders are screwed.

I hope we look after them once they retire. They are going to be in a world of pain as they get older.
Is there any restriction on this? This would actually be the best way to take advantage of the Pies’ superior finances in recruiting by showing that we guarantee players’ health after they retire.
