MIDFIELDER Nick Lower's Fremantle career may not yet be over despite being delisted by the club today.

Lower, Dylan Roberton and Jesse Crichton were removed from the club's main list today ahead of the latest AFL lodgement deadline.

But Lower and Crichton will continue to train with the Dockers during the draft period and could yet be handed a lifeline in the form of a place on the club's rookie list.

Maligned forward Jack Anthony, who still has a year to run on his contract, survived the cut despite recently being asked to consider his future at the Dockers.

Anthony, 24, has managed just eight games in two seasons since joining Fremantle from Collingwood in 2010 on a lucrative three-year deal.

Lower played just three games at senior level last season - averaging 23 possessions per outing - after notching 19 appearances in 2011.

Roberton looks to have played his last game at the club after failing to appear at training for the club's young players yesterday.

The 21-year-old requested a trade back to his native Victoria, but the Dockers were unable to secure a deal for the defender.

North Melbourne also confirmed today that defender Cameron Richardson had been delisted, but the Kangaroos are committed to selecting him in next month's rookie draft.

Richardson played nine games for North in 2011, but was unable to regain his spot after undergoing hip surgery later that year.

Earlier this week, Essendon delisted Ricky Dyson, Brent Prismall and Ariel Steinberg, while Gold Coast parted ways with Taylor Hine.

All your club's delistings and retirements

GWS axed former Port Adelaide ruckman Dean Brogan to make room for a play at disgruntled Crows forward Kurt Tippett, while Crows youngster Nick Joyce was another casualty of the Tippett saga.

He was delisted by the Crows after the club was told it couldn't cut Tippett until after the AFL investigation into the club's alleged salary cup cheating is complete.

Port Adelaide has delisted Ben Jacobs, who is seeking a move to a Victorian club.

Melbourne midfielder Clint Bartram, 24, and Western Bulldogs forward Zeph Skinner, 23, announced their retirements from the AFL yesterday.
