Crows List Manager David Noble said: “It was not the Club’s intention to delist Nick at this time but because Kurt Tippett remains on our primary list, we had to delist another player by today’s deadline ahead of next Thursday’s national draft.
“It is our intention to redraft Nick at the earliest opportunity post the AFL Commission’s findings.
“The club is working closely with Nick’s management and discussing the variety of options, with Nick’s welfare being of the highest importance.”
Joyce, 19, was drafted by the Crows at pick 46 in the 2011 AFL national draft. The midfielder made his SANFL league debut this year with Woodville-West Torrens.
