The Curnow trade is at a delicate stage. Voss’ Blues future will be shaped by what happens
Can Sydney come up with a package that satisfies the Blues enough to trade a dual Coleman medallist they don’t want to lose?

Brian Cook was saying goodbye to footy. Politicians and powerbrokers hung on his every word
The Deputy PM, an ex-premier and former league bosses united to honour Cook, who gave his thoughts on the three powerhouse clubs he helmed – the Blues, Cats and Eagles.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
This Carlton star heard the rumours he was partying. He was in the midst of a much lonelier struggle
Elijah Hollands thought he could overcome his battles on his own. But when he hit a low point mid-season, he knew his problems were only going to grow unless he had a serious reset.

Interesting read, but one wonders if there is more to the story.... for me, on the face of it, what is reported doesn't seem enough to ask someone to 'explore their options'.

It's a puff piece. To encourage another club to have a cheap punt and indicate he's not a write off.
Except the tone of the piece seems to be that he much rather stay at Carlton.

I think it's more complex than that.
From our side, there's clearly more to the story; you don't go to all the trouble of getting him out of GC, paying him a reasonable chunk of salary cap, to letting him go inside 2 seasons without there being more to the story. But there would be multiple layers here as well:
- whatever your problems are - and we were happy to get you through them - we need you to play footy. If you can't or if there's more time off in your future that you need to get your head right, we are happy to expedite a trade for you even if we'd rather you be running round for us.
- things are changing at Carlton, and one of the ways in which things are changing is that we no longer are interested in hanging around chasing sunk costs.
- everyone needs to chip in, it's not a stars focus anymore.
From his side, it's a bit more simple:
- he wants a career in footy.
- he cannot let whatever issues he's had this year be the end of that goal.
If the constant rumours of Charlie wanting out come courtesy of his manager, the article is in equal amounts an attempt to rehabilitate his reputation within clubland as well as an attempt to mend bridges at Carlton. If we're as determined to have him leave as some have said on here it won't matter - as stated, we don't chase sunk costs anymore - but it's good to know that after Jack and TDK left this isn't a Brisbane 5 situation, that people are abandoning a sinking ship.

Hopefully Elijah Holland is able to maintain his sobriety, continue to get his life back on track, including his footy career. I really hope he is able to be part of the future at Carlton, if we are the best fit to support him and he can repay the faith.
IMHO alcohol use/abuse is far too normalised in Australian culture and this is a VERY serious problem - I am not a teetotaler!

the club isn’t going to be swayed by that article.
he’s told all them the same things before and it’s all been lies. that’s why they want him gone. can’t be trusted at all.

Does it specifically mention sobriety?
The quote you might have missed that says everything about Carlton’s post-Curnow era
Dual Coleman medallist Charlie Curnow forced his way out of the Blues to Sydney, triggering a brand-new era at Ikon Park.

It's all good. We have the disclaimers after every ad, and the ads are so pretty - lit up at the grounds, and gamble responsibly folks!
It's a bit of harmless fun. Not as if it can wreck lives or anything, and how ELSE would we pay for anything and the kids won't notice and...

Can someone give a timeframe for when Doc faced this gambling issue?
I can’t the constant ads and promotions and with what the NBA is going through it’s high time the AFL made a stand.
How many players are influenced and affected by this insidious industry.
If the game can’t stand up on its own without gambling revenue it should close up shop!!!

When he lost his dad.
Thanks
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I find it really hard to believe he had a genuine gambling problem. I feel like he's laying it on thick as part of his role for these bodies and for this paid advertisement article.
