PORT ADELAIDE has made sweeping changes to its playing list ahead of next month’s national draft, axing six players on Thursday.
Ruckman Fabian Deluca, Greg Bentley, Adam Cockshell, Nathan Lonie, Damon White and Ryan Williams were all delisted while Daniel Boyle, Gavin Grose and Ryan Willits won't be retained on the club's rookie list.
Port Adelaide general manager of football operations Peter Rohde said the cuts were made to allow the club to make the most of what is considered to be a deep draft.
“This is one of the hardest times of the football year, but we also understand the opportunity exists to take advantage of what’s considered by many as the deepest draft of recent times,” Rohde said.
“Our national recruiting manager Blair Hartley has been working very hard to identify the best talent and we see this as a real opportunity to inject even more quality youth into an already young and developing squad.”
