But...don't give him too much credit. That last kick to Docherty was poor. Doch had space, Hollands kicked it behind him.
Docherty's bravery and the dees players stupidity made it all work out in the end. But that kick was poor.
The kick to Docherty was perfect; Doc led towards the wing and Hollands put the ball in front of him, giving Doc’s opponent no chance. If Hollands had kicked it to Doc’s goal side he would have been running with the flight and the Melbourne player could have spoiled or intercepted.
The placement caused the defender to over-commit and that gave Doc the opportunity to play on and kick over the defence.
How much of that was planned and how much was luck is debatable, but Hollands kicked the ball exactly where he should have.
