ADELAIDE speedster Jess Sedunary has been placed on the inactive list for the 2021/22 season as she chases an Olympic berth, while veteran Renee Forth has been delisted.
Sedunary, 30, has joined Cycling Australia’s Olympic Fast Track Program, which targets elite athletes from a variety of sports in the hopes of earning a spot at the 2024 Olympics.
"Opportunities to represent your country are rare and only afforded to talented and dedicated athletes like Jess," Adelaide head of women's footy Phil Harper said.
"She will need to fully commit to the cycling program for at least the next eight months, so it makes sense that she focus solely on that.
"We really hope the transition is a success but if things don’t work out then we are sure there will be a place for her back in footy."
Sedunary, an inaugural Crow who spent last year with St Kilda, played just two games this season.
Forth is hoping to continue her AFLW career elsewhere after not being offered a contract by the Crows.
The West Australian was originally a GWS marquee player but sat out the inaugural season with a ruptured ACL and has spent the past three years with Adelaide.
