WTF? Caved? 4 Years / 750k PER YEAR is fantastic value.
That's a great deal to keep Holmes
He was getting 6 Year / $1M+ PER YEAR offers from Pies, Hawks, Dogs, Dons etc.
Massive pay difference and HUGE WIN AGAIN for the Cats.

You always pay more to get them out, that's not the point as there was talk of Geelong not in a hurry to re-sign Max Holmes with the contract his management put forward, as soon as there is talk in the media... it's done literally the next day.
The talk around was that Geelong keep their stars cheaper, not in this case this isn't even his big contract yet wait till free agency comes that will be his big contract.

Holmes and land package
I love how
"I'd happily pay 950k for Holmes!"
magically morphed into
"Cats caved and paid overs at 750k for Holmes!"
in under 24 hours.
That's impressive.

You have to pay more to get players out of a club usually?
you don't understand that?

And you understand the salary cap is going up, yes?
So much so that the average AFL salary is going to be around 550k.
Holmes for 200k over whatever the average spud is getting is an absolute bargain, as per usual.

that rich coming from 7 year Hopper -ville.
And Tim "7 year 5 million dollar" taranto.
Id say you got the caving and paying market cornered.
And you gave up mutiple Rd1's for the privilege to do it.
Thats more chasming than caving. Think you've left caving behind actually.

700k 7x for Taranto is a bargain & you know it, in 4 years time Max Holmes will be worth 1.2m in his free agency season.
Hopper I agree was obviously a mistake & should have went to Geelong.
Thanks for the Holmes pick. And taking Hopper off our hands. All the best.

The contract from Max's side was put to the cats about three weeks ago according to the k rock journos. They sat on it a while

I love the chat here around "is he worth 800? Did the Cats panic? Are the paying for potential?"
Anyone would give Holmes 800 without blinking. He's not yet 22 and would likely be leading the B&F of a team that's currently 6-0. An absolute no-brainer.

Exactly, Holmes on 750k is an absolute bargain. Especially when offers from Hawks, Dogs, Pies etc were apparently 6 Years / $1M+ per year.
Cap is going up and he’ll still be on team friendly deal.
