Hawthorn Football Club has made the following changes to its playing list in preparation for the AFL draft period.  

The Club would like to thank each player for their commitment and contribution to the Hawthorn Football Club during their careers and wishes them every success for the future.

Senior-listed players:
Campbell Brown (Gold Coast)
Trent Croad (retired)
Beau Dowler (delisted)
Rhan Hooper (delisted)
Beau Muston (delisted)
Simon Taylor (delisted)
Travis Tuck (delisted)*

Rookie-listed players:
Michael Johnston, NSW Scholarship (delisted)
Jarrod Kayler-Thomson (delisted)
Garry Moss (delisted)
Carl Peterson (delisted)
Wayde Skipper (delisted)
Cameron Stokes (delisted)

Following the conclusion of the AFL trade period Hawthorn Football Club will have selections 19, 37, 54, 66 and 88 in the 2010 AFL National Draft.

*As previously outlined, Hawthorn has committed to support Travis Tuck in several ways.

In order to give Tuck the opportunity to be considered for the final spot on the Club’s Rookie List (open until March 2011) - in accordance with AFL rookie list rules - Hawthorn Football Club has had to delist Tuck.    

General Manager Football Operations Mark Evans said Tuck will be given the opportunity to secure a spot on the Hawks’ Rookie List.

“Travis will continue to train with the group until March 2011, which will give him the opportunity to be considered for the final spot on Hawthorn’s Rookie List and the Club will continue to support Travis financially at this time,” Evans said.  

If Tuck is not selected as a Rookie-listed player, and Tuck wishes, the Club will apply for him to be placed on its 'inactive' list and will continue to support him as a player at Box Hill.

The Club and Tuck then have the option of re-listing him at the end of the 2011 season.
