The 2024 VFL and VFLW Awards will be presented ahead of the 2024 Smithy’s VFL Grand Final, which will be played between Werribee and the Southport Sharks on Sunday, September 22.

The 2024 Smithy's VFL Grand Final will be contested by two standalone clubs for the first time since the AFL-aligned teams came into the competition in 2000. This year's premiership decider will also feature the beaten grand finalists from the past two seasons.

Werribee will be striving for its second VFL premiership after winning its maiden flag in 1993, while Southport is hunting its first premiership since joining the competition in 2021.

After going down to the Gold Coast Suns in the 2023 Smithy’s VFL Grand Final with a team that featured AFL draftees Shaun Mannagh and Sam Clohesy, Werribee claimed this year’s minor premiership with a 15-3 record.

The Tigers reached their second-consecutive Grand Final by defeating the Geelong Cats by 21 points in the qualifying final before producing a 20-point win over the Brisbane Lions in the preliminary final.

Southport Sharks lost the 2022 Grand Final to Casey Demons by 32 points before slipping to 14th spot last year.

They finished the 2024 regular season in fifth spot on the ladder and have reached their second Grand Final in three seasons on the back of three consecutive finals victories.

The Sharks downed Frankston by 92 points at Fankhauser Reserve in the elimination final, before beating the Geelong Cats by 29 points at GMHBA Stadium in the semi final and the Footscray Bulldogs by 10 points at Mission Whitten Oval in the preliminary final.
