Demon Holland calls it quits

Posted August 30, 2008 14:20:00

Melbourne veteran Ben Holland has called time on his 14-year AFL career.

The 30-year-old joins club legend David Neitz, Jeff White and Adem Yze in hanging up the boots for the Demons at the end of the 2008 season.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at both Melbourne and Richmond. I have given everything I have got to the team every time I competed," he said in a club statement.

"I love playing football, I love being involved in football, and I love the team camaraderie.

Holland's final match will be against the Tigers at the MCG on Sunday afternoon.
