FREMANTLE's list regeneration has continued, with Matt de Boer, Tendai Mzungu, Clancee Pearce and Jack Hannath among six new delistings.
De Boer announced his departure from Fremantle via social media on Tuesday afternoon, while the club confirmed shortly afterwards Mzungu, Pearce, Hannath, Brady Grey and rookie Josh Deluca had also been delisted.
All the retirements and delistings
Midfielders Grey and Deluca will keep training with the club in the hope of being reclaimed in the draft period.
It is understood de Boer, 26, Mzungu, 30, and Pearce, who turns 26 later this month, have all attracted rival interest but are not expected to receive any firm offers until later in the free agency/trade period, or in the subsequent delisted free agency periods.
All three players could elect to embark on post-football careers unless the right opportunities arise.
Freo football manager Chris Bond thanked the delisted players for their contributions to the club.
"Matt and Clancee came to the club via the 2008 rookie draft and Tendai in 2010 as a mature-age recruit, with all three going on to forge 100-game careers at Fremantle," Bond said.
"The fact that Matt, Tendai and Clancee were able to achieve such important career milestones is testament to their resilience, work ethic and commitment to the club.
"Matt and Tendai will also always have the honour of being part of the club's first Grand Final team in 2013.
"Jack is a fine young man who had a positive impact on the group and has worked really hard to establish himself as an AFL player in his four seasons at the club."
A day to reflect & appreciate all that's gone into my time at Fremantle & more importantly the love & support I've had along the way #thanks pic.twitter.com/JtZ7sjxrVR

Tuesday's list changes follow the retirement of captain Matthew Pavlich and the delistings of Anthony Morabito, Sean Hurley and Tanner Smith.
De Boer, Mzungu and Pearce all played for Peel Thunder in the club's historic WAFL Grand Final win over Subiaco last month.
De Boer played 138 games for Freo, Mzungu 102, Pearce 100 and Hannath 20.
De Boer and Pearce are unrestricted free agents, but all four players will be able to join new clubs as delisted free agents.
Grey has played three games in three seasons with Fremantle, two of them this year, after being recruited from the Burnie Dockers with pick No.58 in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft.
Deluca has yet to make his debut after two seasons with the Dockers. The No.68 pick in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft, the small midfielder was delisted after an injury-plagued 2015 season and re-rookied for this year.
