It’s possible to enlighten those arrogant ones that Elijah may have a undiagnosed mental illness that has developed therefore he hasn’t been medicated
Who knows but you guys are so @#$%&! naive
Not your fault we all live in some cocoon
But your a plain stupid or blinded to think the club didn’t @#$%&! up
So to those posters

Clearly things went horribly wrong last Thursday and he should have been withdrawn from the game sooner. We will wait and see who did or didn't follow what process. But it seems to me you believe the Hollands family will be disgusted with the club. That may be the case, but it's also possible they feel the opposite. Let's consider a few things we do know:
(1) Elijah's problems with mental health and substance abuse go back a long way before Carlton,
(2) his first club decided he was too much trouble and sold him for a song so he could be close to family,
(3) he evidently screwed up at Carlton to have his contract ended and be delisted,
(4) he was advised to find a new club but could not, which suggests other clubs were not prepared to deal with his issues because he is clearly talented enough and would be available on minimum coin,
(5) Carlton were willing to let him earn another chance,
(6) by all reports- even by those reporters who are baying for our blood - the club has gone above and beyond to support his needs, and Voss has been a huge part of that,
(7) Elijah has a loving and supportive family, but as with so many families in similar situations, they have sadly been unable to save him from himself,
(8) his brother has publicly thanked the club for its love and support
Carlton Football Club has many faults and deserves criticism on so many levels, but they gave Elijah the chance to realise his dream when other clubs turned their back. That has to be worth something.
