WESTERN BULLDOGS

The Western Bulldogs have trimmed their list further with the delisting of forward Mitch Hahn. Hahn debuted in 2000 and played 180 games. In making the announcement, Coach Rodney Eade said it had been a difficult decision and that the highly regarded Hahn had been a wonderful servant for the club. Rookies Andrew Hooper and Brodie Moles have been promoted to the senior list. Moles debuted in 2010 and played 13 games. Hooper also debuted in 2010 but played just one game.

HAWTHORN

Hawthorn has delisted NSW Scholarship holder and rookie Michael Johnston. Will Langford (son of former premiership defender Chris) and Jack Mahony will join the club as NSW Scholarship rookies in 2011. Langford currently plays for Easts in Sydney and is described as an athletic defender/midfielder with an excellent training ethic. He represented NSW at the 2009 Under-18 tournament but missed this year due to injury and illness. Mahony is described as having elite fitness and can play as a small defender or as a midfielder.

MELBOURNE
Veteran Cameron Bruce has quit the club after being offered a contract for just one season. It is believed the one year offer was an indication that he was not part of the club's long term plans. It is believed that Hawthorn is interested in signing Bruce to a two year deal should they pick him up in the draft.

Bruce debuted in 2000 and played 2003 games for the Demons. He played primarily as a forward or midfielder but could also play in defense.
