Carlton spent three weeks checking on recruit Elijah Hollands, enlisting psychologists, coaches, administrators, the club board, an integrity consultant and the midfielder’s parents, before agreeing to recruit him after he was charged with possessing illicit drugs.
Three sources involved in the discussions confirmed – after requesting anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the talks – the work that Carlton undertook after being made aware of Hollands’ charge in September, a day after police in Queensland charged him. After the matter was resolved on Tuesday, Blues’ football manager Brad Lloyd said the club would provide Hollands with a fresh start.“Elijah made a mistake, had been up front with us prior to joining the club regarding this situation and has taken full ownership of what was a poor decision,” Lloyd said.
