Concerned Carlton Dig Deeper Into Hollands' MCG Episode
Carlton says it is still reviewing the episode and is working with the AFL and AFL Players Association as Hollands receives medical support.
- On Thursday night, Carlton CEO Graham Wright confirmed the club knew Elijah Hollands was struggling during their match against Collingwood, describing the incident as an "unprecedented and complex" mental health episode.
- Hollands, who previously spoke about his struggles with anxiety and alcohol, was delisted by the Blues last year before reclaiming his spot; he averaged 18.4 possessions this season before the Magpies match.
- Journalist Caroline Wilson reported Saturday that Collingwood players claimed Hollands had been drinking, though Wright stated the club does not "suspect" drugs or alcohol were involved.
- Following the episode, Hollands will not travel to Perth for the match against Fremantle, while receiving ongoing support from medical staff and his father, Ben.
- President Rob Priestley said the board is working with Wright and football manager Chris Davies to investigate circumstances, while consulting with the AFL and AFLPA to ensure learnings emerge.
