The Power have entered their new era under senior coach Josh Carr<\/a> in explosive fashion, quickly axing five players just days after an emotional Round 24 victory over Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

The club stated on Monday that the quintet of Ryan Burton<\/a>, Jeremy Finlayson<\/a>, Dylan Williams<\/a>, Lachie Charleson and Hugh Jackson<\/a> would not be given playing contracts for 2026, while Jed McEntee<\/a> was added to the list.<\/p>\n

Veterans Ryan Burton<\/a> and Jeremy Finlayson<\/a> headline the sudden list changes, contributing the majority of the combined 215 games the group of five had played for the Power.<\/p>\n

Burton notched 115 games in the black and teal after joining in 2019, while Finlayson managed 62 games after leaving GWS at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

McEntee played 52 games as a mid-season recruit, kicking 31 goals.<\/p>\n

Charleson has been delisted before recording a senior game after spending two years on the club’s AFL<\/a> list, while Williams played 29 games over four seasons, 21 of which came in 2023.<\/p>\n

22-year-old midfielder Jackson played nine games after debuting in Round 9 against Fremantle this year, averaging 9.3 disposals per game.<\/p>\n

\u201cDylan and Hugh showed some positive development over the past few years, with both earning opportunities at the top level, while Lachie was a solid contributor to our SANFL program and showed great commitment to the club in his two years on the list.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish all five players the very best for their futures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Power have entered their new era under senior coach Josh Carr in explosive fashion, quickly axing five…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-97150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
