Shadwell will be joined 2023 primary players Angelo Mavroudis, James Weinert, Judeland Antony, Mitchell Stretton and Vincent Naidu, who are all back for this season, in addition to Chris Kotsanas who has been elevated from the supplementary list.
Premiership-winning captain Chris Henderson, who announced his retirement at the conclusion of last season, joins Ben Noble, Miranda Charlton and Dan Yore on this year's supplementary list.
Weinert will be one to look out for this season following a standout 2023 season in which he was named in the Victorian Metro squad for the National Wheelchair Championships.
