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.

4. Wylie Buzza (Southport)

The former Geelong and Port Adelaide-listed key forward was among the best talls in the competition last year and joins a new-look attacking tandem alongside fellow Southport recruit Hugh Dixon.

After finishing fourth in the league's goalkicking standings last year - booting an accurate 36.7 from 16 games - Buzza remains in Queensland but will pull on new colours, having signed with the Sharks for the season ahead after a strong season with Brisbane's reserves.

Having fallen out of the finals frame after a grand final finish in 2022, Steve Daniel's side will be keen to return to the top and could do so with some experience spearheading their front third.
