Blues delist two former first-round picks among three list changes

Carlton has announced three list changes following the end of the 2023 season.

Josh Honey, Sam Philp and Lochie O’Brien have all had their time at the club come to an end with the trio not offered contracts for 2024.

O’Brien, who was taken with pick No. 10 in the 2017 National Draft, played 66 games for the club including six appearances in 2023.

Honey featured on 17 occasions in the navy blue after making his debut in 2020. Philp played two games for the club after being cruelled by injuries. He was taken with pick No. 20 in the 2019 Draft.

Carlton Head of List Management Nick Austin thanked all three of the players for their efforts.

“Lochie had six seasons at the football club and forged some great relationships during that time, he is a quality character which we know will hold him in good stead for what lies ahead,” Austin said via a statement.

“Josh and Sam’s capacity to keep fronting up in the midst of adversity throughout their four seasons at the Club is a great testament to their resilience, which was certainly appreciated by their teammates, coaches and entire football department.

“The Club wishes all three players nothing but the best for the next chapter in their journey.”
