No - unless Adam Dale is making a comeback, I can only assume it was Jack Prestwidge, although he has yet to play at first class level. I can't find any others who have moved. Pretty sure Pete George is focusing on his back-foot no-ball detector (got some govt start-up funding last year) but is still based here in Qld. Luke Feldman is going around again in Premier Cricket too I gather.
Prestwidge is the only one from Qld on the move to Vic. I gather whoever it was to break that news just got their List A's and their FC's mixed up. Prestwidge already got picked for the Vic emerging training squad for the preseason. https://www.cricketvictoria.com.au/2020-emerging-performance-squad/

Handscomb moving states for BBL? not sure he's worth it.

I'd take him purely because international players are going to be hard to come by this year and batting depth in the BBL is puddle deep amongst the domestic players.

He'd be a great get for the 'Canes. You're not going to get a better domestic T20 batsman to replace Bailey.

IMO Faulkner is/was a much better longer form cricketer than Mitch Marsh. The latter would need to have a real good back half of his career to change my thoughts on that.
There was never really a bowling all rounders position up for grabs in our team, given our batting was weak and our bowling has - for the most part - remained strong post-golden era. But you could definitely have mounted a case half a decade ago that Faulkner's batting was basically the same level as Marsh and Faulkner would have been the strongest #5 bowler in the world in any test team. Yes Marsh looks a much better batsmen to the eye but it hasn't really resulted in significantly better performances in the longer format.
It's all moot now anyway - I'd be surprised if Faulkner is interested in playing the longer format to try and win back a contract of some description. He seems happy enough to be a gun for hire in T20 cricket and CA seem happy enough to have moved on from him. I got the impression he wasn't the most liked guy in the corridors of Jolimont and when that happens things like DUI's turn from suspensions to career killers.

Sounds like there was a bit of an exodus from VIC grade due to COVID. On the news the other night down here they had the club season launch in Hobart and mentioned that there were a lot of VIC pros come down for this season.
