Maribyrnong Park is quickly becoming the Apple Isle with another Tasmanian in Jack Colgrave making the move to Monk Oval.
Colgrave is coming off a 61-goal season in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association with Old Scotch Collegians.
With a lot of Tasmanians moving into the EDFL, there was due to be some talent heading back and Greenvale's Baker Smith is doing just that.

Over at Oak Park, the reigning premiers continue to get stronger lodging a transfer for Greenvale's India McNeill-Wren.

February 20

Elsewhere in Premier Division, Aberfeldie's Darby Scott will be heading to Southport in the VFL.

Reigning back-to-back Strathmore Community Bank Division Two leading goal kicker Khoder Taleb has officially had a transfer lodged to Hadfield.

February 12
There is plenty of activity at Keilor, particularly in its women's program, with plenty of talent looking to push the Blues back up the ladder after a tough 2024 season.
The highly decorated ruck Liv Woods is looking for a challenge in Premier Division, 2024 AGA Rising Star Tegan Matthews is heading back after a year at Marby, and Cannons-experienced pair Ava Gerada (Westmeadows) and Chelsea McDermott (Collegians) add more class.
Over in the men's program, former Vic Metro representative Brock Jacobsen is heading back after a year with Keilor Park, while former GWS Giants Academy player Jackson Moen has had a transfer lodged as well.
Elsewhere in the top flight, Strathmore's Sean Callander is looking to get to Therry Penola, while Justin van Unen is already looking to leave East Keilor to head to Corio.
February 11
Burnside Heights has lodged its first transfers after another year of keeping quiet with announcing recruits on socials.
Keilor Park women's remain busy with a number of transfers in, but have had no luck with the players coming from Airport West.
February 10
Talent is going the other way in the Aberfeldie women's program with five players on the move to Whitefriars.
Ilaria Akers and Amber Wescombe are among the five who both missed the 2024 season but were vital players when they featured previously.
Meanwhile, Jessica Moloney is another who played six senior games in 2024.
Greenvale has re-entered the transfer fold with some youth in Riley Leedham and Brodie Tohara.

February 9
Essendon VFLW MVP and VFLW Team of the Year Maddison Ford has lodged a transfer to reigning premier Oak Park.

Team of the Year and two-time Oak Park premiership player Mia Briedis is heading north to Wilston Grange in the QAFLW.
Roxburgh Park is still making moves announcing 2024 Westmeadows Best and Fairest and former junior Luke Smith is returning to the club.
The 18-year-old was only just announced on socials and shows the Magpies' recruiting may have some gas left in the tank.
Keilor Park has made its first moves in the men's department with East Keilor's Nick Nesci looking to get across alongside some players looking for senior opportunities.
A sixth Airport West player has had a transfer lodged to the Devils' women's side with 2023 Team of the Year representative Georgia O'Donovan the latest.
February 6
Strathmore continues to bolster its women's stocks lodging transfers for Pascoe Vale/Hadfield Under 18.5 premiership players Milla Murphy and Tacita Siliato.
Murphy played 10 games for the Calder Cannons in 2024, while Siliato was named best on ground in the grand final with a three-goal effort.
Aberfeldie has again hit recruiting hard as it looks to get back to the top of the Airport Toyota Premier Division.
Bringing in an array of experienced talent including 2019 premiership player Kurtis Shine, Darebin VFLW's Simone Ruedin, and inaugural Melbourne AFLW forward Alyssa Mifsud, it's been another fruitful offseason so far for Aberfeldie.
Over at Essendon Doutta Stars, gun forward and 2023 premiership player Jessie Hulett is heading back to Greensborough after two strong seasons with Douttas, kicking 55 goals from 31 games.
February 5
Keilor Park continues to add talent to its women's program with a quintet of Airport West players having transfers lodged throughout February so far, with Rhiarn Daley, Jennipher Wilson, and Kristen Baldassaro today joining Talisa Bartolo and Tiana Jackson as those making the move.
It's unsurprising with former Eagles premiership coach Marcus Barclay now heading the Devils' program.
Strathmore young gun Carlos Egan has had paperwork lodged for a move to Boort in the North Central Football League.
Keilor made its first transfer for the 2025 season with Brisbane Lions Academy player Nathan Jensen making the move from Maroochydore.
Jensen, standing at over 200cm, has played nine Coates Talent League games across three seasons and was on Brisbane's VFL list in 2024.
He will be on Williamstown's list for season 2025.
February 4
Coburg Districts is preparing for life in Airport Toyota Division One bringing back 2018 Pascoe Vale premiership players Sarah Theuma and Bridgette Aparo.
Theuma kicked 21 goals from nine games during that season, while Aparo was named in the best in 11 of 14 games.
The pair most recently played for West London in 2022.
Oak Park 2023 premiership players Hirsi Twomey and Jack Kennedy have sought transfers to Lalor for the 2025 season.
Kennedy didn't play during the 2024 season, while Twomey shared the ruck load with Josh Ksiazek.
The Kangaroos brought in Aberfeldie and former-VFL ruck Josh Hotchkin during the November transfer period, a club junior to bolster its ruck stocks with the departing Twomey.
It was moving day for the Abdul-Wahed's on Tuesday with Saeed, El-Amir, and Ahmed seeking transfers to Glenroy, and Marwan to West Coburg.
Meanwhile, Maribyrnong Park have officially lodged a transfer for Tasmanian State League legend Jaye Bowden after announcing his signing in January.
February 3
There was some Premier Division action to kick Monday off with Keilor young gun Massimo Raso looking to head to former junior club Deer Park.
Raso played 31 games for the Lions before heading to Keilor where he would go on to play 31 games for the Western Jets and represent Vic Metro.
Strathmore tends to keep quiet with new recruits and have done so again, lodging a transfer for Point Cook Centrals' Haidyn Shade.
Shade is a WFNL Division One Team of the Year representative and finished runner up in the club Best & Fairest in 2024.
His transfer, however, has been declined.
Moonee Valley continues to bring players back to the club and have lodged transfers for a trio of Premier Division players looking for more opportunities at senior level.
James Kefalas (Strathmore), Marcus Currenti, and Tom Clark (both Avondale Heights) played majority of their seasons in Premier Division Reserves and will be looking to break into Andrew Horne's best 22.
A key forward slot at Ormond Park has opened up with Sunday's departure of Ben Ryan.
Ryan kicked 98 goals across two seasons with Moonee Valley and will head to his home club Cobram.
Multiple-time Team of the Year representative and premiership player Jacinta Brew is looking to depart from Coburg Districts, having a transfer lodged to Reservoir.
There is plenty of movement at Rupertswood with experienced Tullamarine pair Adam Bartrop and Joel Flanigan (returning) calling Salesian College home in 2025, as well as some youth in Ethan Davis (returning from Riddell) and Beau Stain (Alexandra Hills).
Ben Borg and Todd Podolczak are both on the way out, but neither represented the club in 2024.
The big news to finish the day was the transfer of one of the top players in the competition, Matty Dennis to grand finalist Pascoe Vale.
Rumoured since pre-Christmas, the East Keilor big man will seek a move to Raeburn Reserve in a bid to help the Panthers go one step further in 2025.
Current ruck Tom Hofert hasn't been announced as a re-signing, nor has he transferred out, so it's unclear if Dennis and Hofert will form a lethal ruck pairing or if Dennis is replacing Hofert.
Whatever the situation is, the 2023 Reynolds Medallist will be a huge coup if cleared.
February 2
Essendon Doutta Stars kicked off day two lodging six transfers for some young players within the league as it continues to build its depth.
Aberfeldie continues to add to its talent pool for 2025 with West Coast WAFL big man Nic Watson looking to make the move across to Clifton Park.
Watson played just the one game in 2024 after playing 17 the year prior, but at 197cm, he could provide more headaches for opposition clubs.
Meanwhile, Jack Arceri is wanting to return to the club after a few seasons of senior footy in the RDFNL and MPFNL.
Burnside Heights would be in the premiership conversation for most people in Airport Toyota Division One, but seem poised to be without club stalwarts Brodie and Ebony Stevens.
The sisters have been staples in Teams of the Year and have polled well on Best and Fairest night and will be tough to replace.
February 1
Taylors Lakes kicked off the February transfers period lodging clearances for key additions to its women's and men's programs in Taylah Egan and Jake Hobbs.
Egan played 14 games for Maribyrnong Park in the top flight, while the VFL-experienced Hobbs returns to the club following time with Bundoora and Deniliquin.
Avondale Heights has made its first transfers moving to secure Corey Griffin (University Blues), Nathan Foster (East Brighton), Scott Polycarpou (Moonee Valley), and Mark Polycarpou (Point Cook Centrals).
The Heights haven't been active in the way of announcing new recruits in the offseason, with three of the four listed above the only announcements.
With some senior players out the door, it'll be an interesting watch at Canning Reserve to see the shape of their list come Round One.
Maribyrnong Park has also been somewhat quiet on the recruit announcements front as it returns to Premier Division, but got busy on Saturday with the returning Kyle Baker and TSL recruit Blade Sulzberger the headliners.
Craigieburn continues to move to secure its offseason signings on Saturday with the returning Cody Ball (Avenel) the latest, alongside a third attempt to clear Nathan Stewart (Euroa).
Sunbury Kangaroos star Natalie Dunne is looking to head to Coburg following a stellar season where she kicked 21 goals and finished third in the EDFL Best & Fairest.
The former Bulldog and Eagle is looking to land at Point Cook, but has had his transfer declined by the Saints.
