The Sydney Swans have made several list changes following the conclusion of the Club’s season for 2017.

Players Brandon Jack, Tyrone Leonardis and Michael Talia have all been delisted, while defender Shaun Edwards has announced his retirement after 24 AFL games.

Jack joined the Swans through the 2013 Rookie Draft and was elevated to the senior list the following year. The 23-year-old has played 28 AFL games and this year captained the Swans NEAFL side to the Grand Final.

Leonardis was recruited to Sydney with pick #51 in the 2015 AFL Draft. The 20-year-old did not make his AFL debut, but was a solid contributor in Sydney’s NEAFL team.

Talia joined the Swans during the 2015 trade period and made his Club debut in Round 1 the following year, before being sidelined by a serious foot injury. The key defender returned to the field in 2017 but couldn’t force his way back into the senior team.



Edwards, 23, became a Swan in last year’s rookie draft after stints at both Essendon and GWS. The lively defender had an impressive year at NEAFL level but couldn’t register a senior debut.

Sydney Swans Head of Football Tom Harley has thanked the players for their service.

“On behalf of everyone at the Sydney Swans I would like to thank Brandon, Tyrone, Michael and Shaun for their contribution to the club and wish them all the very best for the future,” Harley said.
