couple of delisted AFL players as the number of post-season cuts neared 50 this week<\/a>.<\/p>\nLong-serving Gold Coast forward, Alex Sexton, who sits third on the club\u2019s all-time goalkickers list, was among a trio of players cut by the Queensland club on Friday pushing the number of delisted players to 48 as the 2025 season surges to it\u2019s climax.<\/p>\n
Among those let go were Robbie Fox by Sydney and Jye Menzie from Essendon with the Devils, set to enter a team in the VFL in 2026 ahead of AFL entry in 2028, are interested in giving them a lifeline.<\/p>\n
Fox last played AFL for the Swans in the 2024 Grand Final.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of those players have their own complications. Robbie is still a chance to get picked up by the Giants, they\u2019re showing some interest,\u201d Tasmania\u2019s head of list management, Todd Patterson told SEN.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got really strong commercial interests outside the game so it\u2019s how we complement that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone like Jye, we\u2019ve got a contract in front of him. He\u2019s got to work through that process. He\u2019s one of many (we\u2019re keen on)<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019re just waiting for the phone to ring and get some good news.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tasmanian enthusiasm for the delisted players comes as Richmond coach Adem Yze explained the Tigers\u2019 contentious decision to move on defender Jacob Blight despite some impressive performances at AFL level in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlighty unfortunately was out of contract and he was a mid-season pick. Based on the draft hand we had last year and the players we brought in, we\u2019re just stocked with a lot of key position players,\u201d Yze said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got tipped out and pushed out last year and couldn\u2019t force his way back in unfortunately. Right now it\u2019s just a balance of who we\u2019ve got on our list and who was out of contract and unfortunately he was the guy that missed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he might get another opportunity at another team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clubs will continue to cut players, with GWS having only so far announced one exit, outside the retirement of veteran Lachlan Keeffe.<\/p>\n
Despite not making the finals, the Western Bulldogs have also not made any player moves while the club\u2019s VFL pushes for a premiership.<\/p>\n
