BB I said it the day it happened.
I haven't waited till Holmes became a top 20 player.
Never ever do the opposition any favours.
Especially with Geelong.
What needs to be answered why didn't we know this kid?
This is what Twomey said in his phantom where he made a late appearance just before the draft. Had him at 23 going to Melbourne and he was picked at 20.
MAX HOLMES
POS: MidfielderHt 189cm, Wt 74kg, DOB 29/8/02
From Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
There's always room for a smokey. Holmes would be a genuine surprising inclusion in the top-30, but it is not beyond the realms. The excellent athlete shapes as a real bolter given he has played so little football in the talent pathway, but he put himself on the map with his testing, when he ran 2.8 seconds in the 20-metre sprint and 6:25 in the 2km time trial. He played one game for Sandringham last year having given away an athletics career, with his mother Lee Naylor a former Olympian and Commonwealth Games gold medallist.
What keeps Geelong and Sydney up.
Is there recruiting team. Plucking Warner's and Campbell's and Rowbottoms.
Geelong gets them because of the so called sea change every 2nd bloke walks our of their own club to head down the highway to play for them and Sydney because they aren't in the Victorian footy bubble.
It might not give them flags all the time but they don't fall into a heap like we do.

Both have distinct advantages and then you chuck in the the academy for Sydney along with above average drafting by both and you are away.
The good judges like Rowbottom.
He is a beast. Tough, fast and two-way. Could be an elite half back or winger/onballer. His kicks under pressure are what’s stopping him being a lock for top 5. Booming kick but no finesse
Yep as Leysy said. Genius selection and even better (and ballsy) trade on draft night. Pulled Blair's pants down.
Twomey usually gets good mail close to the draft as word gets out from clubs (afl and coates, player mgr's).
I bet Twomey didn't have Holmes in his sights throughout the year. His phantom would have been purely from mail.
Rayner ,rcd both had no tank whereby fos is off the charts.
Albert Proud jailed for 5 years in 2016 for bashing his missus. Not a great bloke.
was on the coaching staff at oakleigh in Rowbum's draft year, had a lot of admirers who were going about it quietly as they thought they'd get him a bit later than where he landed.
Laugh Laugh as much as you like.
Little Langford has been told that he will be @ punt Rd.
