Carlton has finalised it report into its handling of Blues player Elijah Hollands in the Round 6 loss to Collingwood, and subsequently handed it over to the AFL, per the league's request.

The 23-year-old experienced a mental health episode during the Thursday night clash at the MCG, and only registered on disposal for the match, despite playing 60 per cent of the game.

On Thursday evening, the Blues released a statement.

"The Carlton Football Club continues to prioritise the welfare of Elijah Hollands, alongside providing ongoing support for his family and our club's people, through what remains a complex and challenging time," the statement started.

"The Club can confirm it has responded this evening to the AFL's request and provided an account of the circumstances relating to Hollands and the Club's Round 6 match.

"The Club understands the significant interest in this matter; however, out of respect for the sensitives involved, the Club will not be providing further comment until the AFL process has been finalised.

"We thank our members and the public for their patience and understanding as the Club continues to work through this matter alongside the AFL and the AFLPA, with a high level of sensitivity, care and diligence."
