Port Adelaide father-son Jackson Mead has been delisted by the club and will depart alongside Zak Butters.
Mead was drafted with the 25th pick in the 2019 draft and played 74 games throughout his time in the black and teal.
He played every game in 2024, before adding 20 matches last year, and then 10 under Josh Carr.
"Yeah, delisted," he said on Channel Nine.
"Probably something I've been aware of the last couple of weeks. Carry, and I have had some discussions over the year. I was in there for 10 seconds.
"I mean, it's obviously ideal (to get onto an AFL list). A lot to play out over the next couple weeks and few months, so bit of a waiting game.
"I'm still in love with footy and would love to go elsewhere.
"It's hard to plan for. I don't have any control over what teams want me. Carry and (the coaches) have been honest throughout."
Mead joins Butters out the Alberton club's doors.
The Power free agent confirmed he will exercise his free agency rights and return to Victoria.
Geelong, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs remain in the running for his services, with Collingwood understood to be informed they are not in the hunt.
Port Adelaide are currently in the middle of exit meetings for all players.
Decisions on Darcy Byrne-Jones, Brandon Zerk-Thatcher and Ollie Wines headline a contingent at Alberton who remain unsigned for next year.
