Port Adelaide has confirmed the re-signings of Will Lorenz, Mani Liddy, Josh Lai and Tom Anastasopoulos, keeping them at the club until at least the end of 2026, while Category B Rookies Jacob Moss and Benny Barrett have joined them.
Lorenz and Anastasopoulos both arrived at the Power through the 2023 National Draft, with the former featuring in the senior side eight times. As for the latter, he has played SANFL over the past two years and is inching closer to an AFL debut.
Mid-season draftee Liddy has immediately impressed since joining the Alberton club, playing eight games, including the thrilling victory over Gold Coast in Ken Hinkley and Travis Boak's farewell matches.
Lai was added to Port Adelaide's list during the SSP earlier this year, having been recruited from Cheltenham in the Melbourne Southern League.
"Congratulations to Will, Tom, Mani, and Josh on earning another year at Port Adelaide," Power list manager Jason Cripps said.
"Will has been a real standout at SANFL level this year, which has led to him having more opportunities to play AFL football, while Mani has fit into our group well after being selected in the mid-season draft.
"Both players have plenty of upside and have shown they are certainly capable at AFL level.
"Tom and Josh have settled well into our system and have contributed strongly to our SANFL side in 2025. They'll continue to develop positively in our system with another full pre-season behind them, and will work hard to put themselves into AFL selection contention in 2026."
Moss and Barrett also extend their time at the Alberton club for another 12 months.
The former was a basketballer but has spent large chunks of the season on the sideline due to injury, whereas Barrett has played 14 SANFL games before a syndesmosis injury.
"Jacob and Benny have demonstrated commitment and growth in their first year in our AFL program," Cripps said.
"Despite an unfortunate injury setback this year, Jacob has adapted well to our AFL environment, showing a thirst to learn and responding positively to feedback.
"Benny has worked hard this season to have an impact at SANFL level, and shows promise as a developing small forward.
The news comes as Port Adelaide has already farewelled a host of names, including Willie Rioli, Ryan Burton and Jeremy Finlayson.
Boak, along with Rory Atkins and Rioli, all retired from the game.
Burton, Finlayson, as well as Dylan Williams, Lachlan Charleson, Hugh Jackson and Jed McEntee were delisted.
