Former first-round AFL draft pick Ned McHenry has been delisted by Adelaide.
The 24-year-old is among four list changes the Crows announced on Friday, which also included the tough news for Will Hamill, Lachlan Gollant and Patrick Parnell.
McHenry was taken at pick 16 in the 2018 draft and played 70 games for the Crows.

He was a regular as a small forward in the senior team during 2021 and 2022, playing 41 games and kicking 24 goals across those two seasons, but managed just eight goals in his other 29 games.
Key forward Gollant kicked 13 goals from his 16 games at AFL level, while also pinch-hitting in the ruck.
Dashing defender Hamill managed 45 games across his six seasons, while Parnell played 17 games after being taken as the club’s inaugural mid-season draftee in 2021.
Crows list manager Justin Reid thanked the quartet for their contribution to the club.
“These are always difficult decisions which are an unfortunate part of the industry,” Reid said.
“Each one of these players has made a positive contribution to our club and left an impact on our playing group, and I would like to thank them for their commitment over several seasons.
“We wish Ned, Will, Lachlan and Patrick all the best for the next chapter.”
Adelaide now have six list spots open, following the retirement of Rory Sloane and Elliott Himmelberg’s move to Gold Coast via free agency, which was confirmed when the window opened on Friday.
The list changes are in addition to Rory Sloane who announced his retirement during the season and Elliott Himmelberg who has joined Gold Coast via Free Agency.
Elsewhere to open free agency, Josh Battle made his way to Hawthorn, with the Saints to receive a first-round draft pick as compensation, and Giants midfielder Harry Perryman made his way to Collingwood, who also received a first-round pick from the AFL.
Battle and Perryman both supported their new clubs as kids growing up.
Isaac Cumming also secured his move out of GWS to Adelaide while Nick Haynes departed the Giants to join Carlton on a one-year deal.
Veteran ruckman Tom Campbell has joined Melbourne, his fourth club, following the end of his time at St Kilda.
Hawthorn said they were “thrilled to finally welcome” Battle to the club.
“Josh is someone we identified as a key acquisition for our club, and we’re delighted he’s chosen the Hawks in this next phase of his career,” list boss Mark McKenzie said.
“With more than eight seasons of at the top level, Josh is a proven player who will make an immediate impact in our back six, whilst improving our team on a whole.
“Along with his talents, Josh is a high calibre person who will positively influence the direction of our club going forward.”
