The 2024 VFL season is right around the corner, with all 21 clubs heading to the drawing board over the recent off-season to better their list in the hope of making a play for the premiership.
Port Melbourne have been one of the busiest clubs since Gold Coast's flag win, signing ten ex-AFL names ahead of their new campaign, while Williamstown have found success in their player pursuits after losing a pair of star defenders to the top flight.
Some affiliate VFL clubs are set to gain a big boost this year with their linked AFL clubs adding top league talent to their list, with the likes of Shaun Mannagh (Geelong), Marty Hore (Casey), Lachie Sullivan (Collingwood) and Sam Clohesy (Gold Coast) all set to feature in the VFL this year with new clubs.
Outside of the AFL-listed additions, we've predicted ten of the top VFL recruits for the 2024 season, with the Seagulls leading the way with three selections in our list.
10. Will Fordham (Williamstown)
The third ex-Dolphin on this list who has made his way to Williamstown over the off-season, with Fordham linking up with the Seagulls after a dominant 2023 campaign.
Fordham won Team of the Year honours last season after averaging 26.6 disposals, 12.1 contested possessions, 6.0 clearances and 4.2 score involvements per game across his 18 appearances.
The former North Melbourne-listed midfielder claimed three best and fairests during his time at Frankston Oval, with the now-departed Dolphins skipper taking out the past two club champion gongs.
