Port Adelaide has delisted three players and confirmed wingman Karl Amon will explore his free agency options.
Amon has been speculated throughout the year to want a move back to Victoria and the 27-year-old will now explore his options.
He has been linked to several clubs and is an unrestricted free agent.
We've today made three list changes with Sam Mayes, Taj Schofield and Sam Skinner informed their contracts would not be renewed, while Karl Amon has informed the club of his desire to explore free agency.

We thank all four men for their contribution and wish them well ❤️
“Karl has been an outstanding clubman in his time with us and he should be commended for his professionalism and maturity this season in particular,” Port Adelaide list manager Jason Cripps said in a club statement.
“The club and Karl remained in continual discussion around his future throughout the season, yet his dedication to his preparation and application on game day never wavered.
“We wish him well in the next stage of his career.”
Meanwhile, the Power have become the first club to announce delistings from the 2022 season.
Former Lion Sam Skinner, 2020 father-son selection Taj Schofield and midfielder Sam Mayes - who also played 101 games for Brisbane - have all been informed they won’t receive contracts for next year.
Cripps paid tribute to the trio for their service to the club.
“It is always a difficult time when we have to farewell players from our list, especially people of the character of Sam, Taj and Sam,” Cripps said.
“Mayesy has always done the team thing, playing across all three lines as needed, and has been a really positive influence on some of our younger players as a leader in our SANFL program.
“Taj played some strong footy earlier this season but like Sam (Skinner), opportunities to play in the AFL side were limited.
“We thank all three boys for their dedication to our club and wish them every success going forward.”
Port Adelaide’s season came to a close on Saturday with a win in the 52nd edition of The Showdown.
