Stats
Bio
A teenage forward with a sharp eye for goal, Reuben Holland's VFL career was brief but statistically efficient. Born in Richmond, he broke into the South Melbourne side as a 17-year-old in 1908, slotting a goal in his solitary appearance for the club. After spending the following season with Camberwell in the district ranks, he was thrown a lifeline by Carlton in 1910 to boost their attacking stocks. Holland seized his limited opportunities at Princes Park, booting three goals in just two games, yet failed to secure a permanent spot in the Blues' lineup. He departed the league shortly after, holding the curious distinction of averaging better than a goal a game across his short-lived three-match tenure.
