Carlton has announced that seven players have been delisted following the club's 2026 campaign, with Zac Williams, Jordan Boyd, Lachie Fogarty, Lewis Young, Elijah Hollands, Flynn Young and Harry Charleson not offered new deals for next season.
The list cull comes after the Blues' finals exit, going down to Geelong last week to see an end to Josh Fraser's promising maiden season in the hot seat.
Williams leaves the club after five years in the navy blue since crossing from GWS as a high-profile free agent, while Hollands (Gold Coast), Fogarty (Geelong) and Young (Western Bulldogs) were also at their second clubs.
The club has revealed that Hollands "will step away from AFL football in 2027" following a season that led to the young midfielder needing time to work on personal matters.
“This time of year it can be difficult to farewell good people,” Blues football boss Chris Davies said in a statement.
“Zac, Lachie, Lewis and Jordan have all played their role for the senior side over the last five or six years, while Elijah, Flynn and Harry each contributed to our Club in more recent seasons.
“We wish each player all the very best moving forward and thank them all for their time in the Navy Blue.”
Boyd played 40 games for Carlton across five seasons, including two games this year, while Flynn Young managed 11 games across 18 months with the club after being picked up in the Mid-Season Draft out of Werribee.
The seven delistings follow a signing run in 2026 that has included the signatures of Talor Byrne (2028), Wade Derksen (2028), Francis Evans (2028), Jack Ison (2028), Cooper Lord (2029), Mitch McGovern (2027), Jagga Smith (2030), Sam Walsh (2034) and Billy Wilson (2028).
The Blues are also in the market to bolster their list, having ties to key forwards Joel Amartey and Jesse Hogan, as well as delisted Collingwood defender Wil Parker.
