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
2Lachlan Gollant (Adelaide to Williamstown)
With Ellison out, the Seagulls managed one of the other headline key forward signings with their move for cut Crows attacker Lachie Gollant.
The 23-year-old has returned to Victoria after five years in Adelaide, where he managed 16 games in the top flight on top of prolific SANFL form.
Gollant kicked 29 goals from 12 games at the state league level last year to back up a season haul of 42 majors the year prior.
The athletic attacker - who still holds AFL quality attributes - should be a threat this year in a contending side, with ex-Sun Brodie McLaughlin to also command the front third under Justin Plapp.
Williamstown also managed to secure ex-AFL names in Carter Michael, Hugo Hall-Kahan and Kye Turner over the off-season, while Calder Cannons product Damon Hollow will be one to watch.
