Melbourne delist five players including Tom Fullarton and Marty Hore
Melbourne have told Tom Fullarton, much-loved defender Marty Hore, father-son Kynan Brown, Oliver Sestan and Will Verrall that their services are no longer required at the club.
Despite not having a coach, the Demons are getting busy with their list management, delisting the five fringe players as well as re-signing back-up ruck Tom Campbell on Monday.
Fullarton’s AFL career comes to an end after 21 games. He played 19 games for the Brisbane Lions before joining Melbourne ahead of the 2024 season.

But that was the last time he would play at AFL level.
Hore had two separate stints at Melbourne and managed 20 games.
The defender’s first stint was between 2019 and 2021, where he played 14 games, all in his first year.
The popular figure returned to the club via the pre-season supplemental selection period in 2023, but only managed another six games in 2024, with injuries getting the better of the 28-year-old this year.
Brown is the son of former Melbourne star Nathan. He made his debut in 2024 but would only feature one more time at AFL level.
Sestan and Verrall were selected by the Demons in the 2022 rookie draft but did not break through to the senior team.
In a statement, Melbourne list boss Tim Lamb thanked the players for their time at the club.
“On behalf of everyone at the club, we would like to thank Tom, Kynan, Ollie, Will and Marty for all that they’ve given to the program over their respective journeys,” Lamb said.
“They will always be part of the extended Melbourne family, and we wish them the best for what comes next.”
