he was joined by his former tuart hill coach dennis cometti in 1982 and in the same year played three interstate football matches for western australia , starring at full-back against both south australia and victoria .
he only made three appearances with melbourne in 1984 , having been unable to play in his favoured full-back position , which had been taken up by danny hughes , another first year player .
unable to transfer back to west perth as they believed melbourne were asking for an exorbitant amount of money , holden was instead signed by perth .
