The Dockers later confirmed the news on Monday after afternoon.
“It’s always a pretty special achievement for a player to come to a club via the rookie list and play 100-plus games,” General manager of football operations Chris Bond said.
“Michael achieved that and more. He inspired his team mates with his resilience and determination to get back to playing as soon as possible after recovering from a setback or injury.
“Michael’s upbeat nature and the way he went about his footy ensured his strong standing in the playing group, and also guaranteed his popularity with our members and supporters.
“We thank Michael for his commitment and contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future.”
He is sure to attract some interest in the pre-season draft, after averaging 24.5 disposals, 3.5 marks and 6.1 tackles in season 2016.
