Carlton have made five list changes on Thursday afternoon, with Kristian Jaksch leading a mass exodus from Ikon Park.

Liam Sumner and Andrew Gallucci have been told they won't be offered a contract for 2018 and beyond alongside Jaksch, while Daniel Gorringe and Matthew Korcheck have both retired.

Blues Head of Football Andrew McKay confirmed the list changes, and gave reasons behind the two retirements.

“I would like to thank Kristian, Liam and Andrew for their contribution over their time with us. All three players have shown growth and development during their time at the Club,” McKay told carltonfc.com.au

“Matthew will return home to the United States, and we acknowledge his commitment to the Club over the last two years. We commend his dedication in moving from the other side of the world to try his hand at AFL football. 

“Unfortunately, Daniel had a frustrating run with injuries over the past couple of seasons and we totally understand his decision to step away from football at the highest level.

“We wish all five players the very best for their future endeavours.”

Sumner has been told by the club to come back and train with them during pre-season, with the potential to be listed by the club once again.

The 24-year-old made 32 appearances in the AFL over five seasons, with 20 of those games coming in the navy blue of Carlton.
