Recommitted Max Holmes [re-signed with Geelong through 2028]

[Kobe Gryant]

Cmon mate you think that Tom Morris has the inside scoop on Geelong and Max Holmes deal?

I’d say they are just working out the deal and anything outside of that is conjecture and bluster.

No need to throw the toys out of the cot. He’s not leaving and this will get done soon.

4 years to take him to free agency, we'll reassess then.

Take it to the the bank.

fully blowing the chance to beat the cats for this question but what is it about Max that makes him so valuable?

Art Vandelay_ ?

He's a type of player that we don't have many of, coming into his prime, fast, good in the contest and we traded up to pick him.

Already one of our most valuable players and will play a critical role in bridging the gap between the Danger/Hawkins era and the next gen.

Specifically, he’s built for the modern game with speed to burn and the ability to play multiple roles.

If he stays outside the contest, he could well be the best wingman in the comp sooner rater than later.
189cm, super quick, and can kick the ball at pace.

If Baker leaves, I wouldn't mind Richmond giving the pick we get from Freo to Geelong for Holmes.
only 23 years old fit in.

 

[Hamingja]

Given our lack of access to the top end of the draft our list is in ridiculously good shape but what we lack is players with real elite potential which would make the difference between finishing 6th and winning the flag. Holmes is one of the few that has that. We will need to find others via free agency and trade once Danger, Hawkins etc retire.

Lol he's gonna get close to a million a year and you want to offer what exactly for him?

Yep, the inside mid experiment is a wait and see.

He's got the talent to do it, and we fully expect him to soon, but it's a matter of building his upper body.

We saw it last year, would have ridiculous 20 touch halves and then hardly get near it for the rest of the game.

The opponents size would always just wear him down eventually. Hopefully that can change with an extra 5-10kg up top.

Considering Geelong aren't re-signing him for what seems like a decent deal for the Cats, I would pay him 950k to get him out of there at 7 years.

Better luck next time, opposition clubs

Practically that just leaves Stengle now, doesn't it?

I’m shocked to be sitting here …. My mate from north who was in the know about dusty and Kelly swore Holmes was out the door

We have got a lot of free agents (over 10) but the only ones left of any note are stengle and jack henry (the latter wont leave). The rest are older blokes that will go 1 year or retire or fringe players like parfitt.

Another Nostra fail thread.

He was out of contract and deserved his own thread.

That he has re-signed with the Cats doesn’t take away from the validity of the thread.

Yeah this one was fair to chuck in even though I was never nervous at all
