FORMER No.3 pick Paddy Dow is among three players delisted by St Kilda after the end of its 2026 season.

Dow's three-year stint at the Saints had been hit hard by a serious infection that required multiple rounds of surgery and restricted him to just 10 AFL games for the Saints.

He played 73 games for the Blues between 2018 and 2023 after being drafted with the third pick in 2017.

Ruck Isaac Keeler has also been let go after just 13 senior games in four seasons, while small forward Patrick Said has been delisted after not playing a senior game.

"Isaac, Paddy and Patrick are popular members of our playing group, with each making a valued contribution to our football club," said Saints footy boss Lenny Hayes.

"The players, coaches and staff at the Saints will miss them, and we wish them and their families every success for the future."

The departure of the trio follows the retirement of defender Dougal Howard.
