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.
5. Daniel McKenzie (Port Melbourne)
One of ten ex-AFL signings for Port Melbourne this off-season, the Borough might've saved their best addition to last with the signature of McKenzie.
The recently departed St Kilda wingman spent most of his summer training with Fremantle for a potential list spot, only for a hamstring strain to hinder his chances. Gold Coast were also in line to look at the 27-year-old prior to his setback.
If he can get his body right after an injury-plagued past 24 months, McKenzie is sure to be one of the best recruits of the competition this year.
