Carlton has made eight changes to its senior and rookie lists ahead of the upcoming trade and draft periods.

Luke Mitchell, Patrick McCarthy, Marcus Davies and Aaron Joseph have been informed that they will not be offered new contracts.

Joseph departs after 73 senior games for Carlton, having made his debut for the Club in Round 1, 2009 against Richmond.

The 24-year-old went on to be named Carlton's Best First Year Player in 2009.

Marcus Davies made 17 senior appearances for Carlton after being picked up with selection 43 in the 2009 National Draft, while Luke Mitchell and Patrick McCarthy have each played one AFL game in the navy blue.

Rookies Rhys OKeeffe, Frazer Dale and Andrew Collins will also depart, while after 24 games for the Blues Jeremy Laidler has informed the Club he wishes to seek further opportunity elsewhere.

So Joseph and Mitchell are gone... Laidler to be traded, the futures of Betts and Scotland unknown for now. Also, Duigan is staying.

Got 'em.

So, 7 delistings + Laids.

Close enough to the 10 proposed changes, although trades (Betts) and retirements (Scotland) would make 10 maybe?

Yarran and Hampson maybe traded as well?

Quite true, maybe Warnock? Hampson more likely though.

[Vinny]

Hmmmm. :-X

Hope Scotland doesn't retire! :(

Warnock will stay and Hampson will go IMO.

Dasiy, yes okay but not for 600k!!

Betts to Adelaide :o

Joseph should of been cut last year. Wonder if he'll get picked up elsewhere. Could go late in the draft?

Davies will probably be picked up too. Mitchell as well. Not sure about the others.

How likely is Laidler to find another team? Wouldn't have thought he had much currency.

I am sure he will mate. Very talented kid, great kicking ability and is a good young player, I read somewhere that clubs are already showing interest to pick him up. It is a shame he couldn't get games at the blues. Flowering Mick and flowering Bootsma ::) :P

Much better then punting on a rookie defender. Ready made and could help out those teams fighting to stay in or contending for the 8.

Andy Collins to come back to Richmond :P 8)

No thank you.  :o

I'd give it a 90% chance tbh, good young (24) defender that just hasn't been given much of a chance at Geelong and Carlton so far.

I still like Andy  :P
Don't you remember how he won the game for us against the Swans a few years ago? Bring him back to Richmond where he belongs  :P
