The Gold Coast SUNS have made its final list changes ahead of today’s List Lodgement 1 deadline with Jack Leslie and Jarryd Lyons being delisted.
The Gold Coast SUNS have committed to recruiting Leslie in November’s rookie draft, while Lyons and the club have mutually agreed to part ways.
“We added real depth to our midfield during the trade period and as a result Jarryd understands that his opportunities would be increasingly limited due to the additions of these players and our desire to play and develop the young midfield talent already on our list,” List & Strategy Manager Craig Cameron said.
“With that being the case, the club and Jarryd have had a mature discussion and agree that another club may offer him greater opportunity to play in the midfield in the future.
“We thank Jarryd for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best as he continues his AFL career.”
Delisting Lyons from the primary list will result in the club being able to sign additional delisted free agents prior to the close of the AFL Delisted Free Agents Period on Friday November 16.
