Swans Delist Rampe and Lloyd, Will Re-List as 2026 Rookies

Overview

• Sydney confirmed both veterans will be taken in the rookie draft, with football boss Leon Cameron saying they can still play valuable roles next season.
• The pair began as rookies in 2012 and now rank first and second for most games by Swans rookie-list graduates.
• Rampe is a former co-captain and All-Australian with a club best-and-fairest, while Lloyd is a two-time club champion, with 272 and 271 games respectively.
• The approach reflects a 2020 AFL allowance for up to two veteran rookies and mirrors Hawthorn’s re-rookie move with Jack Gunston that attracted criticism last year.
• The rookie draft is scheduled for November 21 as Sydney pursues broader list changes that include multiple delistings and recent trades.
