120-game Crow delisted as minor premiers commence off-season

Adelaide have commenced their off-season, delisting two senior players following their straight-sets exit.

Small forward Lachlan Murphy has been let go by the club, having played 120 games since 2018.

Picked up via the rookie draft in 2017, Murphy was a consistent feature in the Crows’ side from 2018 through to 2024, where he featured in 115 of his career games and booted 75 goals.

Managing just five games this season, the out-of-favour 26-year-old has been left without a club ahead of next year.

"I've loved my time at Adelaide and I will forever be grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream," Murphy said.

"I wish everyone involved at the Crows all the best in the future."

"Lachie has been a really valuable member of our playing list both on and off the field since joining the club in 2017," Crows GM of list management Justin Reid said.

"He moved across to SA to play for our SANFL side and made the jump to the AFL list via the Rookie Draft in 2017 – which was a testament to his hard work and commitment.

"On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank Lachie, Madison and the entire Murphy family for his contribution to the Adelaide Football Club over the past nine years and wish him all the best for the future."

Untried Irish recruit Karl Gallagher has also been cut by the Crows after being picked up as a Category B selection in 2024.
