North Melbourne Delists Will Phillips, Darcy Tucker and Geordie Payne

The decisions extend an end-of-season overhaul following earlier cuts, including Finnbar Maley's exit to Adelaide.

Overview

  • North Melbourne confirmed the departures on Wednesday as part of post-season list changes.
  • Former No.3 pick Will Phillips played 50 games across four seasons, with seven appearances in 2025.
  • Darcy Tucker logged 108 matches at Fremantle and 48 at the Kangaroos, with a serious back issue ending his 2025 campaign.
  • Geordie Payne, the No.1 selection in the 2024 mid-season draft, featured in three senior games late this season.
  • The reshuffle follows earlier delistings and Finnbar Maley’s trade to Adelaide, with football boss Todd Viney calling the decisions difficult and Charlie Spargo the club’s sole addition.
