Hawthorn has promoted rookie list player Clinton Young onto its senior list for 2006, while in the process it has delisted four players.
The Hawks have delisted senior list players Ben Kane, Bo Nixon, Steven Greene and Doug Scott.
Rookies Ruory Kirkby, Kristan Height and Tom Willday have not been offered a second season on the rookie list and will also move on.
Young played the final seven matches of the 2005 season, after he was drafted last December onto the club's rookie list.
Hawthorn general manager of player personnel and strategy Chris Pelchen said the list changes were in line with the club's new recruiting model.
"We are looking forward to further developing the list structure through the AFL National Draft and are encouraged by the prospect of having five picks inside the top 22," Pelchen said.
The Hawks now have selections three, six, 14, 18, 22, 38 and 70 in the upcoming November NAB AFL Draft.
Other players no longer with the Hawks are Nick Holland and Simon Beaumont, who have both retired, while Jonathan Hay (Kangaroos) and Nathan Lonie (Port Adelaide) were both traded during the recent exchange period.
