The VFL's off-season of player movement has been one of the busiest in recent memory, with exited AFL names, state league stars and overlooked draft talent all finding new homes for 2025.
With the VFL's season start just over a month away, we've looked at the headline moves and signings across the competition as the premiership race prepares to take shape.
Here we named 11 of the best signings ahead of the 2025 VFL season
11Adam Tomlinson (Melbourne to North Melbourne)
The former GWS and Melbourne stopper is a sensational signing for the Kangaroos as their VFL side plans to push further in the state league competition.
Tomlinson, who remains an AFL quality asset, was a dominant defensive force for Casey in his nine games at the level last year, recording 20 or more disposals in eight of those games - headline by a 38-disposal, 15-mark performance against Richmond in Round 5.
With a crop of young Roos set to continue their careers in the VFL before pushing for senior opportunities, the mentorship a player like Tomlinson can provide will be substantial.
The Roos were again busy over the off-season break, having added Darcy Macpherson his brother Ewan, Olli Hotton, Nathanial Sulzberger, Adrian Cole, Bailey McKenzie and other promising names to their list.
