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.
Have another look mate. Doc had 5m on his opponent.
By the time the ball got there. Doc was stationary, jumping straight up, his opponent jumping in front of him just missing the body and the ball.
If it was truly in front of him. Doc would've still had 5m on his opponent.
