Dual Sydney Swans premiership player Jude Bolton will be on the club's list when it is lodged with the AFL on Wednesday, increasing the likelihood he will pull on the boots for another season.

Bolton, 32, played 22 games this season to become one of only three Swans players to pass the 300-career-games milestone, behind Adam Goodes (319) and Michael O'Loughlin (303).

Bolton is one of four Swans who played in both the 2012 and 2005 premiership teams: the others are Goodes, Ryan O'Keefe and Lewis Roberts-Thompson.

AFL clubs have a second list lodgement on November 15, a week before the national draft.

Meanwhile, Bolton's 2012 premiership teammates Mike Pyke, Craig Bird and Mitch Morton have all signed new deals with the club this week.

Ruckman Pyke and midfielder Bird have both signed new two-year deals, while Morton is contracted for another 12 months.

Pyke, 28, is travelling across the United States and Canada, but said he was "really excited'' about the prospect of defending the premiership. "It is a challenge we're all looking forward to and I feel privileged to have this opportunity,'' he said.

"I still feel like I have plenty of development left in me, and hopefully I can add a few more strings to my bow this year.''

Morton, 25, kicked four goals in the Swans' three finals, including two vital goals in the second quarter of the grand final against Hawthorn.

"I'm just absolutely pumped to be a part of the club again in 2013,'' Morton said.

Bird, 23, said the future was "looking pretty bright at the Swans and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.''

Sydney has delisted Jarred Moore, Mark Seaby, Brett Meredith and Nathan Gordon, along with rookie-list players Eugene Kruger, Jack Lynch and Dylan McNeil.

They have traded Trent Dennis-Lane to St Kilda, Matthew Spangher to Hawthorn and rookie Campbell Heath to Port Adelaide.
