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..

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
