from a suspension in Round 5 and has booted 30 goals in his eight games so far this year. With just four rounds of the home and away season left - followed by the finals - Cranbourne would need to advance deep into the season for Holt to get back in 2018. As the News went to print, Cranbourne had officially appealed the decision, and had its case heard at an AFL Victoria hearing on Wednesday 25 July at 7pm.
