When you see something basically like we've just said is almost unprecedented on the field, there will be a push for answers.

Now, I'm sure it will bleed out over the next few days.

Carlton at the moment is saying they will definitely speak to Elijah again today as a welfare check as much as anything when you have a night like that to check in with him.

I'm not sure if there's an AFL involvement there as a contact point as well to just get to the bottom of exactly what happened pre-game, half-time and post-game.

Well, too short, really, because Harry Mackay was off with concussion protocols.

Well, that was still probably 15 minutes to go in the end.

Yeah, but it's very sensitive as of last night.

No, maybe not long term.

Ongoing.

So maybe let's let it play out.

And when Carlton wake up today and Chris Davies receives the call and Graham Wright receives the calls, and I'm sure Michael Voss, there'll be conversation with player and coach and the club more broadly.

and maybe some AFL contact, as you say, Kingy, then maybe we'll get a more detailed explanation.

Because all the things you do, we don't know what happened during the game.

We don't know what happened at halftime.

We don't know when they started monitoring, when they were aware there was something wrong.

Well, we don't know, do we?

We're not privy to all the facts.

We're not privy to really any facts.

That's probably just as much about... Not so much about what Carlton say, but what they can just categorically put a line through, I think, as much as anything over the next 24 hours.

I mean, do they have this... Well, I think their concern would not be, like you say, was this man fit to play an AFL game from the start?
