Elijah Hollands Opens Up On End of Carlton AFL Career

Elijah Hollands has come to terms with the end of his Carlton career, stating that he recognises there are more significant aspects of life that require his attention.

Hollands was one of seven players delisted by the Blues, along with Zac Williams, Jordan Boyd, Lachie Fogarty, Lewis Young, Flynn Young, and Harry Charleson.

A Difficult Period

Hollands' departure is particularly notable given that it occurs just months after he suffered an on-field mental health episode. This incident led to Carlton being fined $75,000 for its handling of Hollands during a round-six loss to Collingwood.

In the match, Hollands had only one disposal, and his erratic behaviour had drawn the attention of fans even before the game began. He was hospitalised days later and decided to step away from football to focus on his mental health.

Hollands' Reflection

On Instagram, Hollands shared his thoughts on the end of his time at the Blues, which may also signal the end of his AFL career.
