St Kilda has joined the growing number of clubs to announce delistings from its squad following the conclusion of its season at the weekend.

The Saints have cut three players from their roster for 2027, with utility Isaac Keeler, midfielder Paddy Dow and half forward Patrick Said not having their contracts renewed.

St Kilda general manager of football Lenny Hayes thanked the trio of players for their service to the club on Thursday.

“Isaac, Paddy and Patrick are popular members of our playing group, with each making a valued contribution to our football club," Hayes said.

"The players, coaches and staff at the Saints will miss them, and we wish them and their families every success for the future."

Dow is the biggest name to depart St Kilda, having joined the club at the end of 2023 following a six-year stint at Carlton where he was taken with Pick 3 in the 2017 National Draft.

The midfielder played 10 games in his first season at the Saints, but has since battled consistent injury problems and didn't play at senior level across both 2025-26 seasons.

Keeler was plucked from South Australia with Pick 44 in the 2022 National Draft and played 13 games for the club during his time, kicking 11 goals.

Said was taken with Pick 60 in the 2024 National Draft and didn't feature at senior level across his two seasons at the club.
