Max Holmes
Emerged as one of the brightest young prospects in the AFL with a career-best season highlighted by his maiden victory in the Cats’ best and fairest. His speed through the middle of the ground was again a feature and he dominated in several statistical categories. Was ranked second in the AFL for total metres gained (13,997 at 560 a game) and third for total bounces (60). Played all 25 games but it ended on a painful note when he was subbed out of the preliminary final with a hamstring injury. Committed long-term to the Cats when he signed a new deal which takes him through to the end of the 2028 season.

Best and Fairest (2024), All-Australian Squad (2024), Carji Greeves Medallist (2024, 2025), 22under22 Team (2024), Geelong Cats Best Young Player Award (2021).
