Just a quick word on Benny Holland. Alot of you continually bag this guy, but unlike a few current MFC listed players,who will remain nameless, this bloke always gives 110% for the club. Yes he may have his limitations, but his guts and determination cannot be questioned. Give me a bloke like him over a natural talented player who doesnt apply himself or works hard ANYDAY!!!

I think that his last 20 or so games for the MFC over the past year or so have been very consistent and influential. Probably won't have a place at the club next year, but in his limited time on the ground yesterday, he did a lot of great stuff.

Yeah Dutchy played well, I love his passion. Watching his face, he was enjoying himself too. The lady behind me kept making derogatory remarks every time Dutchy lined up (like, "this could end up in Telstra Dome" snigger snigger). But by game's end she loved him too.

Other player who impressed me was Simon Buckley, good effort & pressure.

And what about that young backline of ours? Against Buddy & Roughie and 'Diver' Williams... our backs deserve incredible respect & credit for yesterday's efforts.

Nope, that was Hollands 190th. His target for the year is to pass 200, and best of luck to him because he's really been putting in the work, as always.

I hope he goes into coaching somewhere, maybe an assistant coach one day.

Attitude up there with Rigoni or Brown, if you ask me.

He also might get to 200 with Neitz out and Newton sore and out of form so far this year. Did well on sunday. Credit to him.

Agreed, he makes sure he gets everything he can out of that body of his. Special mention too based on the fact that he hurt his shoulder in the second quarter and went off only to tell Ricky Olarenshaw on the boundary line that he would be coming back on to kick a goal. He kicked 2 in fact.

I was also of the opinion it was his 200th......

I asked him about it at Sandy a few weeks back, and he said he hoped they weren't going to leave him sitting one game away.....

Could it have been 200 AFL games?

I like Dutchy......mainly because he is an honest player.......you know what your going to get each time he plays.

Not the most skilled, or the quickest, but I've never seen him shirk a contest or not go in hard.

Speaking of The Rifleman, he put in a couple of real beauties yesterday that would have put Lloydie or Alan Divak to shame. The back-dive in particular had a degree of difficulty of at least 3.3 and he nailed it.

Well done Dutchy-You showed pure grit yesterday both before and after the shoulder popped out. I hope you make it to 200 games, on yesterdays form he could certainly play on next year as a goal square Target. Ben Holland always puts in. Yes he has limitations but he knows that-His kicking yesterday was spot on.

Ahh yes, I think it was AFL games, like state of origin and pre-season comp.

Not happy with the other thread that I started and you added to? :P

It's the second time Holland has injured his shoulder diving on the ball.

P.S. He is built like a brick...

Always rated him - throughout I've been saying hes top 22 material. Hope he gets to 200 games.

When he got injured, he apparantly told Ricky Ollerenshaw that he'd be back on the ground no doubt and that he'd kick another goal for Neita. He kicked two more.

he was onfire until then... i advocated him since i have been on here..

he is honest and very strong...and like my comments last week he certainly would have made the younger guys walk a bit taller..

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
