With the national draft just a few weeks away, several clubs have made further changes to their lists. At the end of October, each club was required to submit "first list lodgement" documentation with the AFL.

CARLTON
The Blues have delisted Mitch Robinson, Brock McLean and Kane Lucas. It makes a total of 12 players the club has cut since the end of the 2014 season. Robinson played 100 games with Carlton since being drafted in 2008. Robinson has joined Brisbane as a delisted free agent. Lucas was drafted in 2010 and played 42 games. Although he won the club's Best First Year Player award, he was unable to cement a spot in the team. McLean played 94 games with Melbourne 2004-09 before joining Carlton where he played a further 63 games.

PORT ADELAIDE
Kane Mitchell has been elevated from the rookie list to the seniors. Brendon Ah Chee has been offered a one year contract for 2015. Defender Lewis Stevenson has been delisted after 19 games since 2010. Midfielder Ben Newton, who played just six games in his first season, has opted to seek more opportunity elsewhere via the draft. The club also is delisting Tom Logan but will add him to their rookie list.

Johann Wagner, who was the winner of the 2014 reality show The Recruit, will be rookie-listed.

WEST COAST
The Eagles have delisted defenders Blayne Wilson and Adam Carter. Wilson was selected in the 2011 preseason draft and played nine games since his 2013 debut while Carter, drafted in 2012, played seven games. Both played for East Perth in the 2014 WAFL Grand Final. Jacob Brennan and Ashley Smith were also delisted. Both managed only two games in 2014 for a total of 28 for Brennan and 45 for Smith. The club will be rookie-listing Irishman Paddy Brophy and WA baseball star Corey Adamson as well as selecting Alec Waterman under the father-son rule.

ST KILDA
The Saints have delisted Adam Schneider and Terry Milera and elevated rookie Maverick Weller to the senior list. Schneider, 30, will continue training with the Saints who plan to redraft him as a rookie. At the end of the 2014 season, Milera told the club he wanted to return to South Australia for personal reasons. The Saints were unable to secure a trade deal with either Adelaide or Port. However, Milera has already departed for SA. Milera played 30 games and kicked 31 goals for the Saints since 2011. He was originally destined for GWS but the Giants traded away their draft selection to the Saints. Milera was recruited from SANFL club Port Adelaide Magpies. Weller played 16 games in his first season at St Kilda after being selected in last year's rookie draft. He previously played 32 games with Gold Coast 2011-13. Rookies Cameron Shenton, Eli Templeton and Darren Minchington have also been elevated to the senior list. The club has also committed to selecting ex-Swan Tim Membrey in the preseason draft. Membrey, who played only one senior game with the Swans since being drafted in 2012, requested a trade for more playing opportunities. Sydney was unable to facilitate a deal with the Saints so delisted him.

ESSENDON
Rookies Cory Dell'Olio and Fraser Thurlow along with defender Dylan van Unen have been delisted, making a total of eight changes to the club's list. They join recent delistings Kyle Hardingham, Leroy Jetta, Sean Gregory and Johnny Rayner.

Dell'Olio played 16 games and kicked 16 goals after joining the club as a rookie in 2011, while van Unen played his only senior game early in the 2014 season. Thurlow, a ruckman, did not manage any senior games in his only season with the club as a rookie. His departure leaves Essendon with just two ruckmen in Tom Bellchambers and recruit Jonathan Giles.

Hardingham managed only eight games in 2014 for a total of 45 since 2010 while Jetta only played two games for a total of 93 since joining the club in 2007. Gregory was drafted in 2012 while Raynor was rookie-listed this year. Neither managed any senior games.

RICHMOND
Richmond wasted little time after Geelong delisted Taylor Hunt, signing him as a free agent. Hunt signed a one year deal after six years with the Cats. General Manager Dan Richardson said the club had intentions to boost the midfield during the off-season and believes Hunt will compliment the playing list with his speed and versatility. He believes Hunt, just 23, has his best football ahead of him. Hunt was drafted by the Cats in 2008 debuted in 2010. His best season was 2012 when he played 21 games and averaged 15 possessions per game as a tagger. In 2011, he played 15 games and was one of the best on ground in the Cats' VFL Grand Final team. He played only seven games in 2014 due to a groin injury. The icing on the cake for Hunt is that he was an avid Tigers fan as a kid.
