All the attention was on the players who were delisted by Clubs when the first list lodgement was made to the AFL last Friday. All Clubs were required to submit a list with a maximum of 35 players as part of the lead up to the NAB AFL National Draft on November 29th. As part of this list of players, Clubs also include any rookie promotions and second year rookies.

David Ellard and Aaron Joseph were both retained on the Carlton Rookie List as second year rookies for the 2009 season while Michael Jamison, a nominated rookie in 2008, was elevated to the primary list.

Players from the 2008 primary list who were not included in the Carlton list lodged with the AFL last Friday are: Cain Ackland, Clinton Benjamin, Luke Blackwell, Ryan Jackson, Aisake O’hAilpin, Darren Pfeiffer and Jason Saddington
