Elijah Hollands leaves Carlton after being delisted by the club

Elijah Hollands has released a public statement confirming his departure from Carlton following his inclusion on the club's list of seven delisted players this week. The 23-year-old played 31 games for the Blues after beginning his career with 14 appearances at Gold Coast. Hollands has not been at the club since a mental health episode occurred during a round six match against Collingwood in April, an incident that resulted in a $75,000 fine for Carlton. In his statement, Hollands noted that he is prioritizing his health and moving into a new chapter of his life. He expressed gratitude for the support received from the AFL community during his challenges and stated his intent to support his brother, Ollie, and former teammates from the sidelines.
