You'd be hard pressed to find a better, more tenacious competitor than Damon Hollow. The Calder Cannons captain set the tone for his side all season and was duly rewarded with Vic Metro selection, where he was made to showcase his team-first approach. While primarily a midfielder with Calder, he was shifted to the wing, down back, and ended the year with a good run up forward before being struck down with a fractured neck in Wildcard Round.
Hollow has a few key weapons in his arsenal. He attacks the contest with vigour and is a gutsy aerial player, capable of sitting on heads or putting his body on the line for strong marks at full stretch. He also is a booming kick of the ball and gains metres quickly on the back of his explosive contest exits. Combined, such traits are applicable all around the ground.
In terms of improvement areas, while Hollow is an effective long-range kick, he could perhaps benefit from showing more composure at times and lowering his eyes when storming into attack. Such play will allow him to become a more polished ball user, though you don't want to completely nullify the impact of his effective metres-gained advances.
