Official delistings, from the AFL site.
Adelaide
Jason Torney
Ian Perrie
Matthew Bode
John Hinge
Darren Pfeiffer
Adelaide didn't fix their forward problems with Perrie so he is out.
Carlton
David Teague
Dylan McLaren
Ross Young
Anthony Raso
Craig Flint
The Blues won't miss any of these players. McLaren was a former number 1 pick in the preseason draft, that didn't work for them.
Essendon
Mark Johnson
Kepler Bradley
Richard Cole
Lachlan McKinnon
The Bombers decided to give away Bradley and M Johnson instead of trading them, doesn't make a lot of sense.
Geelong
Sam Hunt
Stephen Owen
Matthew Spencer
Joel Reynolds (rookie)
Todd Grima (rookie)
Grima has some ability, but they had already promoted Davenport and Lonergan so there wasn't a spot for Grima too.
Hawthorn
Matt Little
Josh Thurgood
It seems to happen every year, it was only 12 months ago when Hawthorn were delisting Josh Thurgood and they are doing it again.
Kangaroos
Djaran Whyman
Callum Urch
Daniel McConnell
Ben Hughes (rookie)
Tim Hutchison (rookie)
The Kangaroos will replace Whyman and McConnell on their list with a couple of players acquired in trade week, Sam Power and Ben Davies.
Melbourne
Simon Godfrey
Daniel Ward
Heath Neville
Shane Neaves (rookie)
Daniel Hayes (rookie)
Ryan Ferguson
The Demons have begun a big rebuild, they also traded Johnstone and had three players retire.
St Kilda
Barry Brooks
Phil Raymond
Justin Sweeney
Fergus Watts
James Wall (rookie)
The Saints went through a time when trading high picks to teams in SA was the normal procedure, the result of that is seen here as they delist Watts, a former Crow, and Brooks, who they acquired from the Power.
Sydney
Simon Phillips
Luke Vogels
Jonathan Simpkin
Matthew Davis (rookie)
Earl Shaw (rookie)
Little Phillips and big Vogels were not the answer in their forward line and they have been sent on their way.
Not included on the official delistings list yet, but the clubs below have also announced players that won't return.
West Coast will delist a couple of their premiership players at the end of the month, you probably saw that this week.
The Western Bulldogs previously announced that several players were being delisted, Cameron Faulkner and Tim Walsh were the bigger names on the way out.
Richmond had a few retirements, and maybe Kane Johnson will unexpectedly announce the delistings soon. When the Tigers and other teams announce the players they are letting go, an updated post will be added to the site. October 31 will be a scary day for plenty of players, that is when the lists have to be cut down.

Richmond have delisted Krakouer, Hartigan and Pat Bowden.
Richmond might have a look at Bradley or Grima for PSD.

Anyone who has been delisted is eligible for the national draft

Cue Blackwater take over of BF

So it would make sense to accept a couple of crap draft picks and put a couple of players on the list that wont make it and have to delist them and pay out their contracts next year so we have more space to use on a stronger draft ?

Essendon have to have someone on their list. If they could have gotten a third round or perhaps a low second round pick for Bradley they would be able to put more highly rated players on their list this year and have a look at them.

We were prepared to swap him for pick 40, then Freo offered pick 56 only.
Now this way they don't know for sure if they will get him, they know not to try and bend us over next time over a player they want and we might be lucky enough that a club before us in the PSD takes him, thus giving us a better chance to get who we might have our eye on.
Think outside the square

Pick 40?? All the stories were that you were not considering anything other than a first rounder which no-one not even Freo were stupid enough to give you. As a consequence no one bit and you were left with egg on your faces when you cut them for nothing.
Going outside the square with you do you expect to take anyone in the PSD? The PSD is even more hit and miss than the national draft and anyone good is likely to be gone before you get to make your selection. It is a bit hard to manipulate things like you did last year when you do not have the first live pick.

The best we were offered was Fremantle's 4th round! Fremantle offered their 3rd round (40) we had a think about it and on the last day said we'd agree to that but they withdrew it and said it was now their 4th round pick.

Yes but that is a bit captian obvious. They tried to get a better pick for Bradley and in the end they where going to take a third rounder but Freo where not prepared to give more than a fourth rounder for Bradley alone.
It is easy to say [B]if[B] we could have been able to trade for an earlier pick. Reality says that no clubs rated what we had on offer so no earlier pick where available to us.
In the end we signed a few players on one year deals which gives us a chance to adress it again next year.

If you belive all the stories. We where actually after a second round pick for Bradley initially. The whole first round thing was something that was floating around in the media but never once came from Essendon.I dont know why people keep treating what is written in the papers during trade week as gospil. 90% of it is speculation and rumour.
Fremantle wanted to give us pick 40 for Dyson and Bradley. Knights (for whatever reason) rates Dyson so refused. On the friday we said we would take pick 40 for Bradley but Freo would only offer pick 56 so no deal.
