Those who don’t buy in are let go… to WA.

Looking at you Kersten and Clarky

Lost a lot of friends that day did Billy boy.

Look, I don't think it was deliberate, he was just a bit of an idiot on a complete high and getting carried away with limited emotional intelligence.

Well I think we agree low emotional intelligence. Does bleed blue and white though.

And the word "emotional" can be a tad extraneous at times... Sorry Billy, please don't read the forum!

Being emotional does not impart the ability to read the room though does it. I like Billy and we all utensil up sometimes, so I'll get over it, but I bet he regrets that moment more than I've judged him for it.

 

[Kitcat]

I like the way Max plays with a smile not far from his face. As does Tyson. I also like how serious Tanner is because that is his character.

no no, I meant as in it's not just "emotional" intelligence that can be a little lacking at times...

Says that Holmes was really upset to be overlooked for the 2022 Grand Final and it did cause a pretty deep division (and I can't blame him, it would hurt any footballer).

Burn. He's doing pretty well for himself though so if it's floating his boat doesn't matter how many he has to rub together.

Fair to say Lyon has no clue about how good Holmes is.

350k. These are our esteemed 'experts' by the way.

He admits himself that he is struggling with the cap inflation. Just shows he is not that close to it. 5 clubs interested ..and my bet is they all offered more than he signed for with us.

I was listening to it this morning. The thing that struck me was how much his family was upset by missing. ...and I wondered how much of that was his mum coming from an individuals sport pov played into that.

My bet is this contract that Max has just sign probably goes way past his mum earnings ... probably says something about Olympic sports.

We didn’t overpay- that’s about right. We were right not to play him in 2022 gf. He will get his chances. If sen don’t understand he’s worth that - that’s their lack of due diligence. Well done to him and the club.

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

Lol at Gary Lyon. Is he comparing Max to the Melbourne midfielders? You don't have to have to be an elite accumulator to be important and damaging...

Typical attempt at trying to put a dampner on everything Geelong.

Media: He's being offered 1mill+ at several clubs, it's hard to see how the Cats keep him.

Also media: Geelong can't afford to lose Holmes. He's the best young talent they have and is key to the clubs future, his departure would be massive setback.

Post signing

Also, also media: Yeah, it's good that he signed...but is he really worth it?

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a club that was offering somewhere near the million, especially the MCG clubs with the wide open spaces as he could literally be the difference to a side getting into and winning a grand final which I hope will be us this year with Holmsey winning the Norm Smith...... we live and dream! GO CATS

Yeh that's not well. I do remember cringing at that actually. If he had turned it around straight away and congratulated him for his contributions then he may have gotten out of that one. I've been in a similar situation myself on a very low level after a flag win I was dropped for. Still eats me up!

This ... I love Holmes and i am gutted he missed a medal but 2011 (Coll) GF and 22 (Sydney) GF shows what happens if you take a risk with a players who may not be 100%.

I am 100% certain if we could go back in time with hindsight both Coll and Sydney MC would leave those 2 players out.

Us in 2008 - wasn't Stokes under an injury cloud for the GF, and he didn't end up having the best of matches

I've been on the other end. Where you gotta pick who misses. It eats you. He still got a medallion, but I'm sure he probably tossed it.
