Elijah Hollands' mental health episode

The incident occurred during halftime of the Carlton Blues' latest game, with Hollands unable to return to the field.

His father, Ben, shared a heartfelt message on social media, emphasizing that his son is a 'beautiful boy' who needs time to heal.

Former players have noted that the high-pressure environment of professional football often masks underlying struggles.

The club has committed to providing ongoing medical and wellbeing support for Hollands as he navigates this challenging period.
