Toast Pick 51 : Welcome to Carlton Nick Holman

[AlecDuncan]

Good be a smarter version of Robinson?

A smarter version of Robbo:

Played for us 10 years ago.....how old are you?

Bad choice of words - I probably was old enough to remember him if he played 10 years ago.

But, I only really got into following our list management/drafting/trading etc around 2004/5.

I'm between 26 and 28 years in age.

Greek Financial Crisis years or regular?

 

[HARKER]

Having seen Nick Holman on several occasions now, he looks the most ready to go player from last years draft.

Nick came across as having the best aerobic base of the newbies through repeated sprints, is the most competitive of the group and comes across as the one most willing to learn.
I can't say that for sure but he asks a lot of questions and just gets involved in everything.
His kicking was questioned when we picked him up and maybe he just had a particularly good day yesterday, but he hardly missed a beat.

One to watch.

This thread needs a bump ..

Gotta love the Holman, especially for pick 51, he looks like a keeper.

Love the way he plays footy, tough, uncompromising and full of zest, looks like a great decision maker as well (especially by foot

I'm on the bandwagon !!



He's rapidly becoming one of my favourites at the club.

Hear, hear.

What immediately came to mind was that passage of play, last week, where he ran full-tilt and delivered a beautifully weighted kick to (I think it was) Dre.

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to have midfielders who can hit foward targets by foot.

Very astute footballer, is our Holman

Dare I say .. Cult Figure material ?? The Fraser Brown comparisons are apt

From the intent side of things, hmmmm, maybe.

Holman is seriously quick and is quite tall, listed at 187cm (and possibly still growing).

Yes ... and looks like a Hillbilly as well !! Definite whiff of Deliverance about him

Great pick up dear Harker

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Nick reminds me of all those little pieces that the Hawks seem to collect, and Geelong had plenty of. Never going to be a superstar but rarely gets beaten and rarely makes a bad decision. We need more Nicks.

at pick 51, snagging a star is a real long-shot. If you can fill your team with B graders from picks in the 50's then giddy up

Shove over and ditto. The kid is a great find.
I'm officially a fan.

who still looks like he is 13........

 

[one eyed bluey]

One word describes Holman.... Clean...just a clean user of the ball.

Over there nicky boy. Next to the guttin knife and the banjo.

Not sure where that's come from so quickly........

The term that does describe Holman though, is tough.
Doesn't fear a thing but in a good way and will be one of the first to back his team-mates.......would love to see him get into those that distract Murphy.

 

[ferrisb]

Tractor, Extractor and Impactor?

 

[gbatman]

Nothing like him gb.

they look alike
