Max Holmes will be the best player in the AFL in 5 years time

Everything I have seen of young Max, indicates he will be an absolute superstar. Has all the attributes of a young Dangerfield.

• Exceptional foot speed. To quote Dwayne Russell 'even his own shadow can't keep up with him'.
• Beautiful long kick of the footy. He can roost them through the sticks from 50 metres out no problem.
• Very composed and evasive through traffic. Is very confident in his ability to sell candy and take other players on.
• Can pinpoint moving targets by both hand and foot regardless of how much pressure he's under. Most kids his age can often look like a deer in the headlights, but not Max.
• Not afraid to go in and under meaning he's not just an outside ball receiver. He's just as good on the inside meaning he's not a one trick pony.

Feel free to bump this in 2027.

This is ban worthy.

Sorry who is she?

Is he Johns son?

When people say bookmark this...genuine question - is there anyone on the forum that actually takes the time to bookmark people's random predictions?

 

[Footy Smarts]

2 weeks ago he was the most underrated up and coming star in the game. But this is silly. He could be but there are probably 30 players in the comp with similar talent under 23.

Good.

A huge call, but I like it

If Holmes is in contention for an All Australian spot in 2027 (or before), kudos to you!

He looks and moves a bit like James Kelly

, but I think he has a few more tricks than Kelly.

He has certainly improved a lot over the past month, to the extent where I think he is now a starting 18 lock on the wing.

5 years is too long, Chris Judd was the best player in the league in his 3rd season, if its taking 5 years hes not gonna make it

This is like a Tom Browne post or tweet.

Is he Johns son?

Not sure. But when he’s in action he likes to go deep.



Inside 50.

His Mother was an Olympic sprinter, so certainly has the pedigree for speed.

Nakia Cockatoo will be the best player in the AFL in 5 years time

 

[Percel]

He will stretch a few holes along the journey

 

[Warhorse]

Nakia Cockatoo will be the best player in the AFL in 5 years time

Yep. Both talents. Both had injuries throughout junior years.

Patrick Dangerfield Will Be The Best Player in The AFL in 5 years Time

Like I said, young Max has the same attributes as young Paddy, and right now, Max reminds me of where Paddy was at as a player around about this time in 2009.

 

[SBYM]

I admire the OP's confidence.

That is all.

Is Nick Daicos retiring early?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Is he Johns son?

He is rising like his Dad use to

Will Ashcroft ..... > Nick Daicos.............. >>> Max Holmes.

Why does every opinion turn into a juvenile troll fest.

There is something wrong with society as a whole.
