The Brisbane Lions delist five players, headlined by former Collingwood key position player Jackson Paine.

Untried pair Josh Watts and Josh McGuinness, along with rookies Hugh Beasley and Billy Evans have also been delisted.

"Of course it is disappointing when any player departs, and each of the guys have given great service to our club," Brisbane football manager Matt Francis said.
