On Thursday night at the MCG, during a game between Carlton and Collingwood, some things that happened on the field that did not look like football.

This episode is about those moments.

It is not about analysing the reasons or causes of a player’s behaviour.


It is about what was done, and more importantly, what was not done, to assist somebody in obvious distress in their workplace.

I refer to Elijah Hollands a couple of times in this episode as Elijah Holland. His name is Elijah Hollands.

What was off was not Elijah’s behaviour.

What was off was the response to it.

A player who appeared to be in distress was left on the field. For three quarters.


Afterwards, he was spoken about by his senior coach in a way that suggested his performance mattered more than what he was going through.

This episode is not a diagnosis.
It is not speculation.

It is an observation about how we respond to visible distress, particularly in environments where performance is prioritised.

And it asks a simple question.

When someone is clearly not okay, why don’t we act? Particularly given Victoria has very strong laws in place surrounding psychological distress in the workplace.

If this episode brings anything up for you, there are support resources in the show notes.


Take care of you first, everything else can wait.
