Fremantle has announced further changes to its list, delisting Tom Emmett, Odin Jones and Max Knobel.
Emmett was advised he would not receive a contract for 2025, while both Jones and Knobel would be placed on the rookie list.
Emmett was originally taken with Pick 41 in the 2022 National Draft, playing 15 games since as a pressure forward.
However, the inclusion of Shai Bolton - as well as picks in next month's draft - spelled the end of the South Australian's time at the Dockers.
Emmett featured prominently (28 games) in the WAFL for Peel Thunder and reaped success in 2024, securing a premiership.
Fremantle EGM of Football Joe Brierty sympathises with the 22-year-old.
"It is always a tough time of year confirming the final spots on our list and farewelling quality people like Tom," Briety said.
"We thank Tom for his contribution on and off the field over the last two years and wish him all the very best."
Emmett joins Dockers quartet Matt Taberner,ย Ethan Hughes,ย Conrad Williamsย andย Sebit Kuek as those delisted by the club.
Knobel was taken with the following selection at Pick 42 in 2022 and has taken longer to come on as a developing ruckman.

The 20-year-old has yet to debut but does have a commitment from the club to re-select him as a rookie.
"Unfortunately for Max, we need to take three selections into the National Draft. So he will be delisted by the Club with a commitment to select him in the Rookie Draft," said Brierty.
"Max is continuing to develop his ruck craft, and he has taken steps forward this year in all aspects of his footy. We believe his football will only continue to improve in 2025.:
As for Jones, who was taken in last year's Rookie Draft with Pick 5, has made an impression on the club to secure another season.
"Odin arrived at the Club after only one year of colts footy and has continued to improve in a professional environment," Brierty said.
"We love his competitive nature and look forward to seeing what he can do with a full pre-season."
Fremantle currently holds draft picks 14, 30 and 67.
