What happened to AFL star Elijah Hollands?

May 7, 2026Hosted by: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimonsProduced by: Rosa Bowden

Last month, AFL player Elijah Hollands experienced a mental health episode on the field in a game televised across the country. Days later, the 24-year-old was hospitalised, with his Club calling for privacy. Then, earlier this week, the AFL fined Carlton $75,000 for its handling of Hollands’ episode. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain what happened, plus the calls for more mental health support in the AFL.
