THE BRISBANE Lions have cut seven players from their list ahead of the upcoming AFL trade and free agency period.

Andrew Raines, James Polkinghorne, Jordan Lisle and Patrick Wearden have all been delisted, along with rookies Nick Hayes, Sam Michael and Isaac Conway.

They come on the back of the retirements of Jonathan Brown, Brent Moloney and Ash McGrath to make it the second successive season with sweeping changes at the club.

Raines told AFL.com.au last week he was keen to continue his 123-game career , while it is believed Polkinghorne – who has played 94 games – is eager to return to his home state of Victoria.
