Holmes is where the heart is!
Practically that just leaves Stengle now, doesn't it?
Better luck next time, opposition clubs
So we're pencilling you in for getting some.... 4 times thenTop 5 happiest day of my life
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
Yeah this one was fair to chuck in even though I was never nervous at allHe 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.
Ooopsie…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.
Cats caved & gave Holmes what he wanted.Ooopsie…
You can spend all that $$ to pay out Hopperranto.. you are gonna need it
Go Catters
Cats caved & gave Holmes what he wanted.
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.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 have to pay more to get players out of a club usually?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.
And you understand the salary cap is going up, yes?You have to pay more to get players out of a club usually?
you don't understand that?
that rich coming from 7 year Hopper -ville.Cats caved & gave Holmes what he wanted.
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.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.
GO Catters
Thanks for the Holmes pick. And taking Hopper off our hands. All the best.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.
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 whileYou 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.
Exactly, Holmes on 750k is an absolute bargain. Especially when offers from Hawks, Dogs, Pies etc were apparently 6 Years / $1M+ per year.Holmes for 200k over whatever the average spud is getting is an absolute bargain, as per usual.
