Despite attending reporters being warned beforehand that Voss would not be taking questions about Hollands, a tense ten-minute conversation played out at Ikon Park on Thursday morning between journalists and the underfire coach, who slammed commentary critical of the club for its handling of Thursday night.
The club is undertaking an internal review of the evening and, whilst it was initially expected to hand down its findings, Voss stressed on Thursday that dilligence would be prioritised over speed.
"Rather than taking a blow-by-blow, ball-by-ball play on it, I think we let that process play out," Voss said.
"I'm sure there will be some findings out the back of it. Speed is not the answer here.
"If it means it takes a few days to come up with what the resolutions are, we'll take our time with it."
The incident also faces a potential investigation from the AFL and even the Victorian statutory workplace health and safety authority, WorkSafe, who have spent the week considering whether they need to launch their own formal review of Carlton's mental health policies and processes.
Hollands was admitted to hospital on Monday morning for undisclosed reasons with the club prioritising the 23-year-old's privacy whilst continuing to review how Hollands was able to play despite clearly being unfit to do so, with the head coach opting to "keep distance and space" and communicate only with Hollands' family members in recent days.
"We are going to make sure that we have privacy right throughout this," Voss said.
"If that means there are judgments towards me and there are a few bullets that come my way, well I'll take it. Because privacy is of utmost importance for us."
"We've got a game to play in two days time, and the focus is about what that prep looks like.
"Whilst we're reflecting on what happened in the previous week, our job is to find a point where we leave the people entrusted to find that information, and then we move forward.
"This can't be a public event, it's a private challenge. That's how we will treat it."
An at-times angry Voss expressed his frustrations with media commentary of Hollands' on-field behaviour and suggestions that Carlton had failed its duty to care to one of their employees by permitting him to play despite Hollands expressing to the club before the game that he was not in the best place mentally.
"The commentary, the conversations, the ball-by-ball play ... I'll be really honest, in some ways it has felt like bordering on bullying," Voss said.
"Rather than show compassion and empathy through a really difficult situation, (those outside the club) are being really judgmental without knowing the facts, without understanding the history and the background, and have drawn their own outcomes."
Whilst accepting that Carlton "needs to look at processes" to ensure the episode does not occur again, Voss also defended club staff from any implications that they had not shown proper care to Hollands.
"We should not leave out that there has been amazing care, love, support, empathy and accountability throughout this whole process. When we have challenging times and you start to sift through misinformation, you cannot possibly come to the conclusion that is about care.
"We need to acknowledge that Elijah two years ago, or thereabouts, showed tremendous courage to come forward and talk about his challenges and his issues. We all know that's the first point and the most significant almost.
"The last couple of years haven't been smooth sailing for him or us, but what our team of people have done is provided amazing mentoring, counselling, guidance, specialists and professionals both inside and out. All for the opportunity for a young man to be able to have a career.
"The discussions I've had with (Hollands) have been very little to do with football, and everything about life. Ultimately when you get those things right, then we can talk about the footballer.
"We should not leave out that there has been amazing care, love, support, empathy and accountability throughout this whole process. When we have challenging times and you start to sift through misinformation, you cannot possibly come to the conclusion that is about care. We accept that we need to look at processes. But there is that care."
