MELBOURNE veteran Ben Holland has announced his retirement from AFL football.
Holland, who played 125 games for Richmond before moving to the Demons at the end of the 2003 season, will line up against the Tigers at the MCG on Sunday for what will be his 191st and final appearance at AFL level.
The 30-year-old said he had enjoyed his time at both clubs.
"I have given everything I have got to the team every time I competed," Holland said.
"I love playing football, I love being involved in football, and I love the team camaraderie."
"After Sunday's game, I will look forward to the next chapter of my life."
Holland was drafted by Fitzroy with pick 19 in the 1994 national draft before being traded to the Tigers at the end of the 1995 season where he made his AFL debut in 1997.
