His performances during the year saw him pre-listed by as one of 10 players as part of an AFL deal to on-trade players to other AFL clubs in exchange for draft picks. As part of this deal Elliott was traded to Collingwood at the end of 2011.

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.

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

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

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

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

In 2022 Elliot kicked a goal after the siren to win the game for Collingwood against the Essendon Bombers in round 19. 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.
