The Western Bulldogs have today confirmed their list changes for 2017.
Will Minson will depart the Club, after announcing earlier this month 2016 would be his last season with the Bulldogs.
Josh Prudden was informed he would not be offered a senior contract for 2017, but the Club will re-select him in the NAB AFL Rookie Draft on 28 November.
Bulldogs List Manager Jason McCartney acknowledged both players.
“Will had a big impact on and off the field in his 13 years, as a former All-Australian and now a VFL premiership player.
“We want to thank him for his valuable contribution during that time and we wish him the very best for his next steps.
“Josh is progressing well through his knee rehabilitation and we are committed to selecting Josh as a rookie for the 2017 season.”
The Club also confirmed rookies Roarke Smith (third year) and Brad Lynch (second year) would be retained for 2017.
Jed Adcock (retired) and Luke Goetz (not retained) will make way for Prudden, and one other rookie-listed player – to be finalised at November’s rookie draft.
