Congratulations to Holmes. Good ploy, think it will keep the pressure on Hickey & Longer. Spots up for grabs now.

Now it's time for him to learn and find the pill

that might be true - but I reckon he has passed both as no1 tap ruckman
I thought he played the game out well in the last against Melbourne - and also watched and noted his second efforts
Well done to him - Im onboard the holmes wagon

He needs to start getting possessions around the ground.
Watching the Collingwood American Cox he was able to mark over his head but I haven't seen Jason do that yet.

I've seen Holmes take a hanger

So he can mark... How many marks has Cox taken?

Quite a few in the NADS Challenge this year!

How many??

I don't reckon he took too many... He plays a fair bit as a stay at home forward... And he did in the VFL too... He takes the odd catch, but also gets exposed on the way out. Last year Delaney took him apart in the VFL.

Cox, Nads, what sort of game is this ?


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Wonder if this means they will be cautious with Longer coming back. He had a full shoulder reconstruction and only started back full contact training not long ago.

I love Holmes's Tap work and his follow up work. He always looks eager to be involved and he'll get better and better at reading the play and finding the short cuts around a footy ground. Welcome to the senior list champ.

Well Done Jason Holmes... another step closer

Great news and a vote of confidence for the big fella from the Windy City. Jason sounds like a real professional and this could really help him along.
I love the Jason Holmes story. Wishing Jason all the very best for 2016.

And well deserved. It could be very handy to have a third ruck available. As someone suggested above; he just needs to learn how to read the play in order to get more possessions of the ball. Could be a great asset in the marking contest. Hopefully he keeps learning fast from our already established rucks and from watching the likes of Nic-Nat.
