Sydney have delisted experienced defensive duo Joel Hamling and Aaron Francis with a promise going forwards.

The Swans have pledged to redraft both players in the AFL Rookie Draft in November.

Hamling, a premiership player with the Bulldogs in 2016, didn't play a match for Sydney in 2024 after joining from Fremantle.
