Premiership player Gary Rohan and Brandan Parfitt have been delisted by Geelong, just days after the Cats' preliminary-final loss to Brisbane.

Geelong have delisted premiership players Gary Rohan and Brandan Parfitt just days after their heartbreaking preliminary-final defeat.

The pair join retired greats Tom Hawkins and Zach Tuohy in exiting the club this off-season.

Rohan was restricted to 12 games this season due to injury and form.

The 33-year-old was unavailable for last Saturday's thriller against the Brisbane Lions after suffering a fractured skull during the Cats' VFL semi-final defeat.

Rohan played 98 games for the Cats, including the 2022 grand final win, after crossing from Sydney at the end of 2018.

The dynamic forward made 106 appearances for the Swans, taking his career tally to 204.

Midfielder Parfitt leaves Geelong after 130 games since debuting in 2017, but played just 18 since being the sub in the 2022 grand final.

"This time of year is always difficult and to farewell seven great teammates is never easy," Geelong football boss Andrew Mackie said. 

"Both members of our 2022 Premiership team, Brandan and Gary have had a profound on-field impact in the hoops, but it can't be overstated the influence they both have had on their teammates and the club more broadly. 

"They have both been incredible for our football program and the wider Geelong community."
