Background

Following the conclusion of the 2023 season, there was speculation that AFL clubs Port Adelaide and West Coast might withdraw their reserves teams from their local competitions (the SANFL and WAFL respectively) to join the VFL.^[1] Although neither team ultimately joined for 2024, Port Adelaide formally applied in December 2023 to join the VFL from 2025.^[2]
