Melbourne has delisted five players following the 2025 season, with the club not offering new deals to Tom Fullarton, Kynan Brown, Oliver Sestan, Will Verrall and Marty Hore.

Fullarton leaves the Demons after two seasons in the red and blue, having made the move south from Brisbane at the end of 2023.

The ruck-forward hybrid played two games for the Demons during his time in Victoria, with both appearances coming this year.

Brown also played two games for the Demons in his only year with the club, which he joined as a father-son prospect via last year's Rookie Draft.

Hore leaves Melbourne for the second time in his career, having initially joined the club via the 2018 National Draft.

The defender was delisted by the Demons at the end of 2021 and would return to the club ahead of last year's campaign after a strong spell with Williamstown in the VFL.

Hore played a total of 20 games for the Demons across his career, including dix appearances in 2024.

Neither Verrall nor Sestan featured at AFL level for Melbourne during their respective spells with the club. 

“On behalf of everyone at the club, we would like to thank Tom, Kynan, Ollie, Will and Marty for all that they've given to the program over their respective journeys,” Melbourne list manager Tim Lamb said. 

“They will always be part of the extended Melbourne family, and we wish them the best for what comes next.”

The five delistings are the first set of list changes at Melbourne since the end of their 2025 campaign.
