Adelaide have confirmed the re-listings of Ben Davis and David Mackay as rookies for the 2021 season.

The AFL announced on Wednesday morning that two players can be moved from a club's senior list onto their rookie list for next season.

โ€œThese new rules will assist our list management strategy moving forward and provide important flexibility ahead of a really important draft in two weeksโ€™ time,โ€ Adelaide list manager Justin Reid said.

โ€œWeโ€™ll go into next season with six Category A rookies, with Ben Davis and David Mackay to be re-listed early next week.

โ€œBryce Gibbs will also be rookie listed for administrative purposes following his retirement this year.

โ€œAfter list lodgements are completed, the League will consider Bryce to be officially retired and placed on the inactive list.

โ€œThe Club will then be able to fill that vacant list spot if it chooses to do so via the AFLโ€™s supplementary selection period.โ€
