THE AFL has called on Carlton to hand over the details of its review into Elijah Hollands' game on Thursday night as the Blues continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 23 year old.

The Blues said on Friday that Hollands suffered a mental health episode during Thursday night's defeat to Collingwood, saying they will continue to "provide close and ongoing care" to the youngster following the distressing scenes during their defeat to the Magpies.

Hollands looked out of sorts during the side's five-point loss, recording just one disposal for the match and showing erratic signs throughout the contest.

He spent the overwhelming majority of the final quarter on the bench, with coach Michael Voss later saying an emotional Hollands was "shattered with his game" and "feels like he's let people down".

The AFL released a statement on Saturday after it sought clarification from Carlton regarding Hollands' fitness to play.

"The health and wellbeing of every player is the AFL's highest priority," the statement read.

"The AFL has today requested Carlton to, once concluded, provide the outcome of its review of the circumstances relating to Elijah Holland's fitness to play in Thursday night's match.

"The AFL will continue to make inquiries with the club in relation to the matter."

Carlton had been in ongoing talks with the AFL, the AFL Players' Association, Hollands and his manager David Trotter across Friday, with the club saying its primary focus remains on his wellbeing.

"The Carlton Football Club is continuing to provide close and ongoing care to Elijah Hollands, who suffered a mental health episode on Thursday night," Carlton's statement read.

"The 23-year-old is continuing to receive the appropriate level of medical and wellbeing support, with Hollands' welfare remaining the number one priority.

"The club also remains in contact with the AFL and the AFLPA, given the complicated nature of what occurred on Thursday night.

"While the club acknowledges the public interest, it asks that Hollands’ privacy be respected, with the primary focus on ensuring he receives the level of care he needs, before a further update can be provided at an appropriate time."

Discussions around the next steps involving Hollands, and the process of how Thursday night's events played out, are expected to continue between all parties across the weekend and into next week.

The AFL released a statement itself on Friday morning, saying: "We are having ongoing discussions with Carlton and also ensuring Elijah has the relevant support." 

League spokesperson Jay Allen confirmed on Friday evening that those discussions would continue in the wake of Carlton's statement.
