Hawthorn have announced more delistings this off-season, after telling both Kade Stewart and Billy Hartung their futures lie elsewhere.

The Hawks have also delisted Dallas Willsmore, but have told the 22-year-old they will select him in this season's rookie draft.

“Dallas got a taste of AFL footy this year and showed some good signs. We have committed to selecting him in the rookie draft next month,” Hawthorn's General Manager of Recruiting and List Management Graham Wright told hawthornfc.com.au.

“We would also like to extend our thanks to Billy and Kade for their contribution to Hawthorn.

“Both players have demonstrated great commitment to the club and we wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

The Hawks have also announced two re-signings, with Jonathan O'Rourke and Kurt Heatherly now locked in for the 2018 season.

“We are pleased to retain both Jonathan and Kurt,” Wright added.

“Jonathan had an injury interrupted season, so we trust with a full pre-season under his belt he’ll be able to perform at his best next year.

“Kurt had a solid year at VFL level and also managed four senior games. We hope he can continue to develop his craft as a key backman next season."
