Oliver Hollands Biography

Carlton coach Michael Voss says the club opted to withdraw Ollie Hollands their clash against Fremantle following a difficult week.

Hollands' brother and teammate Elijah Hollands was admitted to hospital this week after experiencing what the Blues have labelled a mental health episode during the round six loss to Collingwood.

Ollie Hollands travelled to Perth with the Blues and wanted to play on Saturday night, but Voss said the circumstances of the week led the club to withdraw the wingman, with the team going on to produce a fighting 14-point loss against the Dockers.

"It's been a big week for everyone, and a big week for the family. He wanted to play. He's an absolute competitor, (but) we just felt with how the week has played out, it'd be better to maybe sit this one out," Voss said.

Elijah Hollands is hospitalised, four days after he had what his club labelled a "mental health episode" during the Blues' match against Collingwood.

His brother Ollie Hollands and father, Ben Hollands, posted messages on Instagram in support of Elijah.
