Interestingly, his younger brother, Ollie Hollands has been a first year revelation as a winger for Carlton. Shorter and much thinner than Elijah but Ollie is a real competitor, may not look it but is tough as nails, not afraid of contests and will run all day.

Ollie has had a good debut year for sure. Very different type of player as a hard running wirey winger. He was always seen as the less talented of the two, but he’s shown a competitive nature that Elijah hasn’t. Perhaps a fresh environment for Elijah could unlock that…

Would love to get this kid, but not paying a lot for him.  Think he would be a great mid/fwd under the correct coaching.

I think it could be and after thought after we are done trading for picks, although could be involved in us trying to get pick 4 of GC.

If he was any good Gold Coast would keep him. 
 

When I followed his draft he had figjam written all over him. 

Another kid with a lot of tattoos ????

Would be interested if it were a late mid to late third round pick. A 21-year old who went pick 7 and can’t break into the Suns side should be met with caution. 

Why ET better than a pick 47 who can't make it. He may never have the skills. History might show a No 7 has some very good attributes but for various reasons isn't comfortable in the environment. He may be squeezed out with the midfielders "club" of say Rowell Anderson Miller etc. for example we don't know.

 

There  is no right or wrong with recruiting unless some issues arise from history and are not changeable. We have shown we are a very good Club with a great culture and taking a chance on a talented youngster who May have an ego is hardly like a much injured player with a fitness issue. Both are solvable and we can't have too many "problem child's" I agree.

if he fits a need on our list ( not sure of his physique or body details) but he started off kicking goals from half forward I seem to recall. He may be happier here in Melbourne with his brother and possibly his family.

A player is not a No 7 for nothing so keep an open mind and it's up to JT and Lambie to check out I say.

I feel like the sun's are going to have a tough time getting the "right price" for a top 10 pick after giving away a top 10 pick in Bowes and a first rounder for a half eaten dim sim last year.

I'd the suns hold him another year and he doesn't crack the team, he's going to cost as almost nothing at the trade table. 

He could be on the move for less than the right price.

Not to mention longterm setting a precedent with trading out the likes of Peter Wright and Will Brodie for pocket fluff.

Pass. Has struggled to break into a poor team and then not really shown anything to excite at AFL level when he played. Much better options out there for midfield and flank depth.

Flanders I would be keen on however.

To be fair, Flanders also struggled to break into the same team, when he got in he went BANG though haha

I think Jason Taylor and the MFC recruiting team would have the best knowledge on Elijah Hollands. Did he Dominate any games for Gold Coast at VFL level?

Some players just need a 2nd chance at a new AFL Club to thrive.

Whether it is at the Melbourne Demons or another AFL Club we shall have to wait and see. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
