Coming off the back of career best season in 2018, Nick Holman forced his way into the senior side in RD 2 and strung together 12 games before succumbing to a stress reaction in his back which sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Holman has a desire to win his own ball and also proved his defensive side when shutting down Giant’s midfield gun, Lachie Whitfield in Round 11, earning him an AFLCA Coaches’ vote. Holman will be looking to put in a strong pre-season, ready to tackle season 2020 head on.
