As expected Shane Crawford's name does not appear on the updated Hawthorn playing list after he announced his surprise retirement last week, but also delisted were Leigh Brown of the Kangaroos, Demon Nathan Carroll and young Saint Brad Howard.
Brown was told his services were no longer required shortly after the first list deadline, and it had been widely thought Carroll would be jettisoned by the Dees after one off-field indiscretion too many.
Howard's demise was something of a surprise given he had been at the club for just two years after being taken in the second round (27th overall) of the 2006 NAB AFL Draft. The 20-year-old midfielder played just two games during his stint at Moorabbin.
There will now be 85 'live' selections at the national draft starting with Melbourne at No.1 and ending with Carlton at pick 85.
The Hawks will not get an extra pick at the national draft due to Crawford's retirement as he was a veteran outside the primary playing list with the club having to make do with an extra pick at the rookie draft instead.
The first list lodgment took place on Friday October 31 giving clubs three weeks to ponder the make-up of their playing groups following the conclusion of a quiet trade week that saw only six trades completed.
All 16 clubs were required to trim their lists to a maximum of 35 players by that first deadline including rookie, New South Wales and international scholarship player transactions.
All delisted players have until 2 pm on Wednesday, November 19, to nominate for the national draft which takes place at Telstra Dome on Saturday, November 29.
