Max Holmes has quickly established himself as one of the most impactful midfielders in fantasy football and his ceiling keeps him firmly in focus at #33 in our Top 50 Most Relevant Players Countdown.
In this episode, MJ Want is joined by Tim Michell to break down Holmes’ fantasy profile heading into the upcoming AFL season. After an exceptional year where he averaged 110.9 in SuperCoach, Holmes has become a popular pick across formats but with popularity comes scrutiny.
We examine how Geelong’s midfield dynamics shape his scoring, the impact opposition tagging can have on his output, and how coaches should navigate potential early-season challenges. The discussion also dives into draft strategy, value assessment, and where Holmes fits across AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach structures.
Key discussion points include:
What drove Holmes’ elite scoring last season
How Geelong’s midfield mix affects his role
Tag risk and its fantasy implications
Managing early-season volatility
Draft strategy and value considerations
Holmes’ ceiling and match-winning fantasy upside
If you’re weighing safety versus ceiling in your midfield build, this episode provides the context needed to decide how hard to lean into Max Holmes in 2026.
