Great management by Holmes. He can escape that sewer for big money half way through his career if he wants to. Not such great management by Geelol, to only have your best player tied up for 4 more years.
But I guess they know they can throw an about to be re-zoned land deal at him when they need to.

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
have to feel for the tuggers fans, they keep getting humiliated by their own club, time and time again. it's pitiful!

Now I have seen it all.
They’re pretty much the same tier of shit truckTbf we have to pay someone over the next few years. On the brightside, at least he hasn't pretended to be injured after missing a crucial shot at goal from 10m out in a prelim

Poor buggers can't catch a break. All their good players demanding to leave the joint and you're left with an 8-year deal for Noah LOLta.
and what if Holmes doesn't come on? What if his hamstrings don't hold up? What if he ends up committing armed burglarie in the off season?
Smart for club, smart for player.
Enjoy 7 years of Balta at $800,000k

If those things happen then it will be smart by Geelong, dumb by Holmes.
But as he approaches free agency, if everything looks sound, what length of contract is he going to be offered by Geelong? other clubs will be offering him 7 year deals.
And the Cats would be th ones to talk about risky contracts. Every bloke who has turned 30 seems to get a 2-3 year extension until age 34. Dangerfield on big money has not played a full season since 2020. Hawkins, Touhy, the list goes on and on of players getting 1-2 years too many.
So I don't think Richmond will be too troubled over a big front ended contract for a key position player to the age of 32.

Noah Lolta is fair. It was pretty ****ing funny when he schooled Cats ruckmen as a 20 year old in the 2020 grand Final.
Congrats Noah, well played

Dusty will be lining up for his autograph.You've always been a good humoured person Chronz.
But that is some really good humour right there.
Dangerfield's not on big money.
Holmes will be extended a year before his contract finishes if that's his wish.
Offers will come, as they do for all players, and he will likely turn them down because he knows it's the best place to work in the league. Fewest hours required at the club, treated like an adult, well run organisation.
There aren't many key players who request trades. There's a reason for that.
Long contracts are stupid. Grundy, Franklin, Hopper, Balta, Naughton etc all prove it
Hopper Balta Naughton contracts haven't proved anthing yet.
Look no further than Richmond itself for a club who secured great players with long contracts, Martin and Lynch, and it worked out beautifully for everyone bar Geelol.
Saying Grundy or Franklin prove long contracts don't work is like saying Gary Rohan or Jack Steven or Shaun Higgins proves shorter contracts don't work.

Contracts don't mean shit now anyway. When he asks to be traded away 3 years in we can demand a bit more because he is a "required player."
Anyway, while he's not particularly good at either position, he has the ability to be put either forward or back and he is tall enough to cause a bit of a problem for the oppo.

Im guessing a few on here have no clue how the cap works, it's there to be used, were rolling in cap space so have to use it and a long term contract means little more these days than you get pick 6 instead of pick 15 if other clubs come a knocking for the player.
Just a reminder to Elmer, Balta has won more flags in the AFL era than Carlton

"All of our good players left, so we have to pay an absolute spud a shitload of cash for 7 years to go with the other spuds we're paying a shitload of cash to"?
Can't wait to see how this one pans out in 5 years.
Nobody except Norf is coming knocking for Balta.
That's an awful lot of posting about Max Holmes in a Tiger
thread, but I get it, the kid's a gun. Thanks for the pick swap that got him to Geelong. How's Tom Brown working out so far?
It's always so cute how Carlton and Geelong supporters try and gather together against the Mighty Tigers I was going to ask where the nasty Tigers hurt you guys but we already know.
