Harris among four axed Kangas

The experienced Daniel Harris and Sam Power are among four players delisted by North Melbourne as the club clears the decks ahead of next month's national draft.
Just shy of 150 career games, Harris' career at Arden Street hit a roadblock this season when he fell out of favour with coach Dean Laidley.
The 27-year-old managed six appearances in the second half of the season under interim coach Darren Crocker but has been deemed surplus to requirements by new senior coach Brad Scott.
Twenty-six-year-old Power played 39 games in two seasons with North after crossing from the Western Bulldogs where he strung together 84 games between 2002 and 2007.
Matt Riggio (10 games including one in 2009) and Michael Wundke are the other Kangaroos delistings.
"We'd like to sincerely thank each of these individuals for their significant contributions to North Melbourne," said the club's chief of football, Donald McDonald.
"I'd particularly like to extend our best wishes to Daniel Harris who played 149 great games for the club and showed true class throughout some difficult times during his career."
Meanwhile Cruize Garlett has been promoted to the Kangaroos senior list.
"We were really excited about Cruize’s development this year as a rookie listed player and look forward to watching him continue to grow and mature and get some more valuable matches under his belt," said McDonald
North has made eight changes to its list in total with the long-serving Adam Simpson and fellow veteran Shannon Watt announcing their retirements while Josh Gibson quit the club to join Hawthorn.
