MARK Neeld's overhaul of Melbourne's playing stocks escalated today with eight Demons delisted, including senior players Matthew Bate, Ricky Petterd and Jamie Bennell.
The Demons have now cut or traded 14 of the 46 footballers from their 2012 playing list.
Jordan Gysberts (North Melbourne), Cale Morton (West Coast), Stefan Martin, Brent Moloney (Brisbane Lions) and Jared Rivers (Geelong) all found new home in the trade and free agency period.
Today's cuts also included Lucas Cook, Liam Jurrah and rookies Jai Sheahan, Leigh Williams and Kelvin Lawrence.
Cook, a first-round draft pick, is hoping to find a new home as a delisted free agent after failing to crack through for a senior debut in his two seasons at the Dees.
Lawrence quit the club mid-year, while Sheahan was axed after only one season.
Last year the Dees had the chance to secure a second-round pick for Bate from the Western Bulldogs, but they demanded their first choice - No. 17 - and the deal fell through.
The Dees also lost former captain Brad Green, who retired after 254 games.
Dees to sweat it out in Kakadu
Petterd, a 24-year-old marking forward, has attracted interest from up to five rivals. Originally from Queensland, he has kicked 55 goals in his 54 games since his AFL debut in 2007.
The Dees have already added Chris Dawes, Shannon Byrnes, David Rodan, Cam Pedersen, Jack Viney and Jesse Hogan to their 2013 list.
Hogan, 17, is not eligible to play at the top level until 2014.
