Fan-filmed footage sparks concern for Elijah Hollands' welfare
The Carlton midfielder was ‘displaying erratic movements’ during the game and ‘was in a pretty bad way post-match’.
7news.com.auHere's the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Elijah Hollands was hospitalised after a mental health-related episode during Carlton’s game against Collingwood on Thursday night, with communications from his club confirming the admission and requesting privacy while care is provided. The Blues and Hollands’ family have publicly asked for support and privacy as he receives treatment.[1]
- There has been ongoing coverage and follow-up from multiple outlets detailing fan and media scrutiny surrounding his on-field incident, the club’s review, and the welfare resources put in place for him. Authorities and media have emphasized that the situation is medical rather than substance-related, and Carlton has been coordinating with medical experts and the AFL on next steps.[2][3]
