Adelaide has informed veteran defender Daniel Talia that he will not be offered a contract for 2022.
Talia, a dual All-Australian and Malcolm Blight Medallist in 2014, has had an injury-interrupted year, undergoing knee surgery in the off-season before hurting his foot, which also required surgery.
As a result, the 29-year-old unrestricted free agent hasn’t played a single game in 2021.
“It has been a privilege to represent this great Club for the past 12 years and I have cherished every moment,” Talia said in a club statement.
“I am disappointed because I feel like I have more years left in me at the top level, but I understand the decision and direction the club is going.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my teammates past and present, coaches, staff and all of the amazing supporters.
“Thank you to my wife Megan, my two beautiful children Ivy and Max, and my close family and friends for their unwavering support.
“I am going to take some time to consider what comes next for my young family and I will always be grateful for the opportunity I have had to play for the Crows.”
Talia played 200 games for the Crows since debuting in 2011.
It continues Adelaide’s aggressive list cull after forward Tom Lynch was also told to find a new club for next season.
Restricted free agent Matt Crouch's future at West Lakes is also up in the air.
