Senior 9. Max Holmes (2021-)

[Drunkcat]

Our future captain our next brownlow medalist not putting any pressure on the kid yet

 

[thecatattack]

Seems the majority of the board agree with me

How about now?

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Not even slightly surprised by the usual posters spewing the usual negative, uninformed BS in here aswell...

 

[Vdubs]

Clark was that quick , he would run himself into trouble

he wasn't always inept- played some very good games, but near the end at Geelong, seemed to have real confidence issues.
Who will ever forget the lightning quick delivery to Riccardi for that famous after the siren win v Carlton?

 

[Warhorse]

How about now?

He is tracking well and is projected to be perhaps a top 15 player from his draft. That's a poor outcome for the level of risk with this selection.

Stop being a dick Max is good player now and will be better in a few more years, get of his back

I was tagged by another poster and was responding to that. In fact I said previously I think he gets to Guthrie's level - a good outcome I would have thought

Ok sorry thought you was bagging Max

Well, I did have a nice melt when we first selected him

Surely a top 15 player in the draft is a good outcome for someone drafted 20th??

Also, he's looking a lot better than top 15. I'd say top 10 at minimum.

Agreed, going through the draft currently he’s probably in the top 5
With a few KPP in that draft, come time of there development he will be around the 10 mark

 

[thecatattack]

might bump this every game

 

[Mad_Hatter]

First few pages are comical reading.
Dude is already a star.

 

[calder_daddy]

How is the kid not rated in the best 40 players under 22 in the league

 

[Warhorse]

A few people on here don't understand risk

Risk of what this kid is a gun

Every draft pick is a risk, don’t understand how people can’t understand that

Those same people were adamant we should've taken Deven Robertson too

Hindsight is a beautiful thing.
This is why I only pot a player after a few seasons of afl
Sometimes I just don’t see anything that warrants a game.
Holmes kicking last year was terrible but his ability to find the ball and get in good spots was obvious

 

[Pollywaffle]

Didn’t get the hype at first but worth persisting with. Now I am onboard. This guy has a big future.

 

[catters_28]

Could have got him in the 50's, not sure why we keep doing this.

This aged well

 

[ShaunWDT]

This aged well

Everyones a know it all with hindsight, doesnt change the fact that when drafted he was a massive punt, its worked but that doesn't remove the fact that we took a risk.

 

[Sttew]

Just as the club did with Mackie?

 

[VerC]

He's gonna be captain after Stewart retires.

 

[calder_daddy]

The first few pages are fun

Same posters doing negative things, now with just a tad more egg on their faces
