Collingwood have announced three more list changes as the October 32 list lodgement deadline approaches.
Ben Sinclair has announced his retirement from football, while Adam Oxley and Jackson Ramsay have been told their futures lie elsewhere.
Sinclair played 63 games for Collingwood after joining the club in the 2009 Draft, and has called time on his career due to health reasons.
The 26-year-old suffered a number of concussions in 2016, and suffered a serious hamstring injury in the JLT Community Series earlier this season.
Ramsay played 17 games for the Pies over five seasons, while Oxley managed 32 games in the same time frame.
“It says something about both men that they shared reasonably long careers with Collingwood despite their numerous setbacks,” Collingwood's General Manager of Football Geoff Walsh told collingwoodfc.com.au.
“Ben and Jackson were extremely popular teammates who leave us with a lot of friends and goodwill. The game is tough, it can be punishing and it isn’t always fair. Ben, who has had to retire from the game at 26 years of age due to his physical issues, and Jackson understand this as well as anyone.
“As I said, AFL football is a tough caper. We can only thank them for giving all they had to Collingwood in their time with us.”
In a positive note for Oxley, the club has committed to selecting him in the rookie draft should he be available.
“Adam’s shown some promising signs over his career and unfortunately due to injury hasn’t always been able to play to the full potential we know he’s capable of,” Walsh added.
“We plan to have Adam remain part of the club by selecting him in the Rookie Draft should he still be available.”
