The Brisbane Lions have today announced a series of list changes ahead of the upcoming AFL Trade and Draft periods.
Hugh Beasley, Billy Evans, Jackson Paine, Josh McGuinness and Josh Watts have all been delisted.
It takes the Lions' total number of list changes to eight for the season, with retired trio Daniel Merrett, Trent West and Justin Clarke having already departed.
Football Manager Matthew Francis thanked the players for their commitment and dedication to the Lions.
“Of course it is disappointing when any player departs, and each of the guys have given great service to our Club.
“We wish them all the best for their futures,” Francis said.
The AFL Trade Period begins on Monday 10 October, while the 2016 NAB AFL National Draft will take place in Sydney on Friday 25 November.
