Recommitted Max Holmes [re-signed with Geelong through 2028]

[Robroy22]

Do you have ADD or something?

No, but I got to be a principal instead of just a chem teacher? You made the claim..."it doesn't happen often"...
Sorry if you were wrong.

Dude...it's a breaking bad reference.

Future captain the way he is going. Can't see him going anywhere.

Straight swap for Smith?

 

[Dazb86]

Regardless, I'd say it wouldn't be a life-changing pick or two either way.

In terms of the offers they're both getting, and their comparable play, it wouldn't be anything huge.

Baz + a first round pick is too much for Holmes, likewise Holmes + a first round pick is too much for Baz. We'd be talking seconds or thirds either way.

From a Dogs POV, do you take the proven player or the Hawthorn pick?

I'd personally take the proven player especially given how poor our wings currently are.

 

[STPer18]

Pay the boy.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Really? You don't think kicking it to JUH, Naughton and Darcy is going to be appealing. Hunter was pushed out due to "Oliver" like issues. Macrae hasn't played 2 games cause he was underdone and we are prioritising speed atm and Daniel is not disgruntled. Dunkley the only outlier and I don't think Smith if he does leave is on bad terms with the club. Very much overblown these issues you describe

Is MacRae still just underdone being left as sub again? And Daniel perfectly happy about being subbed out in a close game?

Something's not right between Bevo and his senior players. Should be a huge red flag for anyone thinking about moving there.

Secret sauces

Secret sauces

The sauce I've got has told me he's about to sign on for a very lucrative contract.
Probably bad news for us in terms of salary cap squeeze but I guess you have to pay your good players what the current market dictates.

I like your boy Cadman though. Hopefully in a couple of years time he does what's expected

I think your sauces are past their use by date

young man from baccus marsh, good old country boy.

A week ago, it was reported on Fox Footy we're close to a deal with him, Mackie and his manager was having some more discussions that upcoming week.

Cap doesn't worry me. Lots of vets about retire and every CBA the cap seems to increase

To be fair, up until like the week before the GF Jez was definitely signing for gws

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Anyone he believed that is seriously naive though.

If you're not signed and your season is over...there's a pretty good chance you're out the door.

I highly doubt we'd get there with Max as I reckon he'll stay, but if our season is finished and he's un-signed, I'd certainly be expecting the worst.

Could be wrong, but from memory Gaff is the only one to do it, and that one had some pretty unique circumstances driving it too.

At this stage, I'd be inclined to believe Scott Gullan than Big Footy "in the know" posters.

I remember being shocked by it

Bevo is rebuilding. He's going the youth route because he can't see us winning a flag with the same old crop.

Not saying he's wrong but it will probably be the end of him.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Geelong just don't lose players like this, I reckon.

Can't see him moving.

Max is out the door I’m telling you

I can't see him leaving either he will get good money to stay.

 

[rapidfire7]

I don't think that trade helps us at all.

Definitely a bad deal for us. Who knows if Bailey will be the same player after his ACL. He is obviously older as well and has had a history of off field shenanigans.

When was the last time Geelong lost a big name player?
