VFL and VFLW clubs have confirmed their team lists ahead of the 2023 season, with a healthy amount of NFNL representatives selected.
90 players who are aligned to NFNL clubs have been selected across 20 VFL or VFLW sides.
There will be 51 VFL players who have NFNL ties, with over half of those players on primary lists, meanwhile 39 VFLW players will be aligned to NFNL clubs and again, over half have been selected on primary list.
Both competitions will begin their 2023 campaigns this weekend.
NFNL CEO Martin Stillman congratulated all players selected in VFL and VFLW sides, and also extended his praise to NFNL clubs who play a big role in the development of players from a young age.
“The NFNL is proud to have a large number of league players represented in this year’s 2023 VFL and VFLW campaigns,” he said.
“The NFNL talent is apparent and player development at club level is evident and it’s pleasing that state league clubs see the NFNL as a pathway into the VFL and VFLW competitions, this is something our clubs should be extremely proud about.”
