The Blues have made two changes to their AFLW list, axing Marianna Anthony and Tahlia Read.

Anthony played 14 games for the Blues during her two seasons at the club, while Read did not feature in Navy Blue due to injuries after being traded from Fremantle at the end of 2022.

"It is never easy to make list changes: Marianna and Tahlia have all shown great dedication to our program across the past few years," Blues AFLW boss Ash Naulty said.

"Marianna and Tahlia have been here for two years, both bringing positive energy and were great teammates throughout their time at the club."

AFLW pioneer Jess Dal Pos also called time on her career after 69 games across nine seasons at the Giants and Blues.

Inaugural AFLW player Lauren Brazzale is one of four Collingwood delistings, having recorded 73 total AFLW games across her time at both Carlton and the Pies.

Versatile tall Erica Fowler was promoted from the Pies' VFLW program ahead of the 2019 season, playing 46 AFLW matches in that time while combining a career as a paramedic.

Charlotte Blair battled injury this year, playing four games to take the 20-year-old's tally to seven, while Sarah Sansonetti struggled to hold her spot this year, finishing her time at Collingwood with 39 games, dating back to when she was originally drafted by Richmond in 2019.

"Although her season was cut short, we commend Charlotte for her sportsmanship and resilience throughout the season. Her fight in her recovery is admirable and she has made great impact during her time with the program," head of football Jess Burger said.

"Lauren has been an untitled leader within our four walls, always being a teammate and friend that the playing group can rely on. We highly respect her contributions not only to our playing group, but also [to] the club and AFLW league.

"We thank Erica for her dedication to both our AFLW and VFLW programs. Her willingness to strive to continuously better herself and the team has been a trademark of her time at the Pies.

"We also thank Sarah for her service to the club, she has provided great versatility and has continued to refine her craft year on year."

Geelong will be without defender Anna-Rose Kennedy next year, with the Irishwoman opting to return home to Ireland.

Kennedy had a breakout 2024 campaign but has made the decision to return home due to personal reasons.

"While it is unfortunate for us and our football program to farewell Anna-Rose, we acknowledge the massive sacrifice that all Irish players make to play in Australia," AFLW assistant footy manager Brett Johnson said.

"On behalf of the club, we would like to wish her all the best in the future and the next stage of her life and career."

The Cats have also delisted Brooke Plummer, Abbey McDonald and Lilly Pearce.

Both Plummer and McDonald played eight games at the top level, while Pearce's season was over before it began due to an ACL injury.

"All players in their time here at Geelong can be proud of the way they have conducted themselves and all have been incredible contributors to our program," Johnson said.

The Suns have delisted six players as they look to refresh their list ahead of the 2025 season.

Vivien Saad played 27 games as a defender before an injury-interrupted 2024 campaign, while Academy duo Ashanti Bush and Alana Gee played 10 and seven matches, respectively.

Irish duo Cara McCrossan and Lauren McConville also depart, as does former Pie Jordan Membrey, who kicked 19 goals in 39 AFLW games.

"We would like to thank Viv, Jordan, Ashanti, Alana, Cara and Lauren for their contributions to the Gold Coast Suns," Suns AFLW footy boss Fiona Sessarago said.

Outs: Jasmine Grierson (delisted), Annise Bradfield (retired), Caitlin Miller (delisted), Jemma Ramsdale (delisted)

The Giants have informed defender Jasmine Grierson that she will not be offered a contract for the 2025 season.

A former Demon and Kangaroo, Grierson played 61 games across her career, her versatility, footy IQ and strong ball use key features of her game.

"We'd like to thank Jas for her contribution over the past four seasons," Giants AFLW and footy operations manager Alison Zell said.

"Jas has been a popular member of our playing group throughout her time with the Giants and we'd like to wish her all the best in her next chapter."

Small forward Caitlin Miller (six games, emergency in 10 games in 2024) and injury replacement player Jemma Ramsdale (three matches this year) have also been delisted, while Annise Bradfield has retired due to a chronic knee injury.

The Demons have delisted 19-year-old Delany Madigan.

Drafted out of the Eastern Ranges with pick No.55 in the 2023 AFLW draft, the defender played one game for the Dees.

Melbourne AFLW list boss Todd Patterson thanked Madigan her contribution to the club.

"In her short time with us, Delany made a significant impact on the team, and we have loved her energy and enthusiasm," he said.

"As she's continued to grow as a player, we've been able to see what she's capable of, but sadly we're not in a position to offer her a contract for next season.

"We wish her all the best in her next journey, and are sure it won't be long before she gets another opportunity."

“This time of year is always difficult with tough list decisions,” Eagles head of women’s football Michelle Cowan said.

“We are very thankful for the contribution all players have made to our program as people and as footballers.

“We wish them all the best with their football and every success in the future.”

Veteran Evie Gooch also retired after a career spanning 44 AFLW games.

The Bulldogs have delisted a quartet of players, informing Keely Coyne, Jorja Borg, Elizabeth Snell and Aurora Smith that they would not be offered new contracts next season.

Coyne was drafted out of the Sandringham Dragons with pick No.29 in 2022, playing 12 games across her career before an ACL injury last year.

Snell featured 14 times for the Bulldogs but was unable to break into the senior side this year, while Smith played just two games this campaign for a total of 11 senior matches.

Borg played the first six games this year after being picked up in the most recent draft, but unfortunately suffered an ACL injury during the year which has her facing a lengthy stint on the sidelines. The club will continue to support her throughout her rehabilitation process.

"We thank Keely, Elizabeth, Aurora and Jorja for their contributions to the red, white and blue both on and off the field," Bulldogs AFLW list boss Dan Fisher said.

"We wish them all the best for the future."
