Carlton will receive a $75,000 fine from the AFL after a review into Elijah Hollands’ fitness to play against Collingwood in round six.
Fine Directed to Mental Health Support
The penalty will support Headspace, a key provider of mental health and wellbeing services for young people and their families.
Sources confirm the sanction, with an official announcement expected later today. The review offers limited details amid an ongoing WorkSafe investigation.
Incident Details
Hollands suffered a mental health episode on the field during the April 16 clash with the Magpies and required hospital admission.
The AFL plans to leverage these findings to improve handling of similar issues in the future.
