Traded Elijah Hollands [Traded to Carlton with #28 & F4 for #26 and F3(Ess)]

[BringFevBack2021]

He should did eye off that wing spot.. now he’s playing inside mid

Not my fault your last real senior coach kept dropping krispy kreme fillings on the magnet board and missing him from the team sheet as result

 

[Sphynx]

yes

From fringe mid to full-timer: Leaner Sun's lofty 2023 goals

He impressed in the back-end of 2022, but Elijah Hollands has his sights set on a breakout year in 2023

Good effort.

Even more incredible that after building up his tank, it still looks like he runs in treacle.

 

[SSSSSS]

GC must have a hate boner for Hawthorn.

Made us pay through the nose for JOM and now playing hardball with a reserves forward in Chol.

Gives away Bowes + pick 7 and is now in all likelihood dropping (another top 10 pick) in Hollands for peanuts.

At least we got Scrimshaw for cheap I guess.

It's a sublime effort at his height and body weight.

I think there is something to work with Hollands, just unfortunately at the moment it looks like that ACL plus the COVID years may have hindered his early progress. You wonder if those kids had a full year of u/18s how the draft order would have changed? I'm surprised he is going to Carlton though, that midfield will be hard to break into.

I'm guessing that we're looking to play him in that half-forward/midfield role ala Bailey, Rayner, Petracca etc. Hopefully we can help him regain some pace and explosiveness.

There was a reason he kept getting dropped, then they tried to play him on the wing and off hb in the vfl. That didn’t work either. Ended up finishing the year as an inside mid

It's been now 3 years since his ACL. Don't raise your hopes too much.

You would know more than me, I'm just being a flog for the sake of being a flog. Really do want the kid though.

Kinda killed your own argument there mate

Apparently a done deal.

GC receive: 26, F3

Carlton receive: E. Hollands, 28, F4

Once GC match bids in the draft, 28 should be back to 26.

 

[SSSSSS]

Absolute steal for Carlton.

Strange which players they dig their heels in for while letting quality talent walk out the door.

Think Elijah needed a kick up the arse though. Hope he turns his career around.

No one uses fourth rounders any more so they're worthless, unless you're Mackie LOL

So basically traded for Carlton's F3, a pick in the mid/late 50's - bargain. GC sure knows how to throw away assets, been doing it for a decade

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Pretty good deal for us !

 

[Giant Strides]

So, literally given away for nothing. #28 will come forward after early bids on Suns' academy kids so Blues lose **** all, and is worth about 50 points to Suns; while the F3/F4 different is maybe 100-odd points.

Sheesh!

 

[Chaisa]

For all the good work they did earlier in the trade period this is close to a Bowes-level **** up. Hollands may or may not turn out good but it wasn't that long ago he felt like the next big thing. Surely they could've gotten more than some pick upgrades. Hell, even #26 alone would've been reasonably fair.

 

[rye]

hasnt shown anything

wont find many players still living off draft hype as much as hollands

fine trade

 

[dogs105]

Would do for a r2.

Apparently the price is downgrading a late 3rd for early 4th...

 

[Foucault1989]

Good business by Carlton.

I'm not sold on Hollands yet but for this price he is worth a punt.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Really happy at that price

Still hold a points value, which we'll potentially need for the Campo twins.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Gold Coast are such a joke.

[Chism]

Nice deal for us and happy with that.

Fresh start at a new home with his brother could be just what the doctor ordered and he was a highly touted junior.

 

[Moonatic77]

Surely the Suns could have extracted a little more out of Carlton than that.
Well done to the blues though, almost a free hit
