Hi Footy fans... We are at the end of the year, folks. It has been a remarkable year that has seen the typical ups and downs for the 10 clubs, not to mention that we had two victorious interstate clashes that cemented the SANFL's place as the standout state football competition in the land. Of...

Hi Footy fans... I go away for a fortnight and what happens? The 2024 SANFL Finals Series kicked off two weekends ago and yes, I was missing in action but thanks to internet streaming I didn't miss the action... and some shocks were served up. Now usually I go into a bit of a monologue before I...

PS folks... I'm going on a holiday, so there won't be a wrap-up for the first two weeks of finals. Lousy timing I know, but this time was the best time with money and all. Thanks for your continued reading of these threads.

Hi Footy fans... The home and away portion of the 2024 SANFL premiership season is at a close and for five teams it's back to the drawing board, at least at the league level. For some it will go on at other levels, perhaps that will form part of their preparations ahead of the 2025 season. Next...

Hi Footy fans... We're closer than ever now, next weekend marks the end of the minor round and is the absolute very last chance prior to the commencement of the 2024 SANFL Finals Series. We already know four of the participants and we still had the Redlegs on top with the Blues nipping at their...

Central District FC charity guernsey to be worn against Glenelg on 17/8, single red and white stripes reminiscent of inaugural strip from the 60's. Image taken from CDFC FB page.

Hi Footy fans... The last in-season bye has come and gone, the clock is ticking down once again. There's now just two more rounds of football ahead of us and time is fast running out for some to make their move. Four teams know they will contest finals, but two spots in particular are still up...

Hi Footy fans... We come now to the last three rounds of the season but before that happens, there's one last weekend off for the league sides. During which there will either be a little free time for players, or some much needed drilling. The minor premiership is still not decided, the fight...

Forget when this was worn, I think late 2000's. This and others were sitting in a warehouse of JAX Sportswear, still in plastic wrapping. These were either doubles or spares, i'm not sure... but I got one! And there's also the match-worn Port Melbourne FC 150-year guernsey, formerly owned by...

Hi Footy fans... It was 50 years ago that the first ever SANFL Grand Final was played at Football Park in West Lakes. It would signal the beginning of a prosperous new era for South Australian football, not one that was under the tender mercies of the administrators of Cricket at the Adelaide...

Hi Footy fans... It's not long now folks. We can now officially consider ourselves on the road to finals football, with just five more rounds to go until the 2024 SANFL Hostplus League Finals Series and the race for the Thomas Seymour-Hill Trophy. While there's still plenty of time for some...

Hi Footy fans... A saga that had dragged on for a while finally came to an end a week ago as the Adelaide Football Club's re-development proposal for the Thebarton Oval was finally given the seal of approval. Much to the chagrin of local residents, the Crows will move into the former home of...

Amendment made for Hall of Fame inductions.

Hi Footy fans... We've been quite fortunate here in Adelaide this season weather wise, while we have had some rather gloomy looking skies it hasn't really impacted the quality of play that much. This past weekend was one of the prime examples of lousy looking conditions, but ol' Mother Nature...

Look up the Adelaide Footy League for the metro area, there's multiple divisions spread across the place There's also the Southern Football League which exists on the fringe of South Adelaide territory or even the BL&G in the outer north. More info... go to the SANFL website and look at the...

On the same token neither was the NEAFL, which was at the time a merger of the QAFL & the AFL Canberra leagues, but that lone flag is there regardless. Like I said, I'm not trying to nit pick. I do realise you can't fit everything.

Not to nit-pick because of this being a VFL-orientated thing, not going to include their other 20 flags in the count?

Hi Footy fans... For the time being, speculation on the future participation of the two AFL reserves sides in the SANFL can be put on the backburner. After all the huff and puff created by the Adelaide and Port Adelaide football clubs, they have resigned themselves to continue playing in the...

Hi Footy fans... During this mid-season period where all the teams get a chance to perhaps have a sit down with the coach and discuss where they're at, with the possibility of the two AFL sides pulling out of the SANFL, will we see a return to a longer schedule like that of the 90's through...

Hi Footy fans... We are now at the half-way mark of the 2024 SANFL Premiership Season, the time of year where over three weekends, the clubs have their mid-season byes and the coaching panels will probably will take the time to go over their current position with their charges. Of course at the...

Hi Footy fans... The interstate football arena at senior level has been all but dominated by the SANFL over the last few years with a string of victories over the WAFL, as well as most recently against the Victorian Football League. There has also been a triumph for the women's division, taking...

Hi Footy fans... I've raised the notion in a previous wrap about the probability of the two AFL reserves sides departing the SANFL in order to head to the Victorian Football League. What really awaits Adelaide and Port Adelaide over in the VFL, a competition that many -- especially by old VFA...

Hi Footy fans... For the previous seven years, the senior representative football arena had become the domain of just two states. South Australia and Western Australia committed themselves to continuing a tradition that has been abandoned at the highest level and even to this day, still has its...

Hi Footy fans... We're now a third of the way through the 2024 SANFL Premiership Season and as happens from year to year there is usually a change of the order, so lets look at that first up. The Bulldogs have been probably the biggest mover in the last couple of years, rising from near the...

Hi Footy fans... The discussion regarding the future of the two AFL reserves teams has been a bit louder lately and it seems pretty much inevitable that Adelaide and Port Adelaide will lobby to get an early departure from the SANFL. Last weekend, the original rivalry match between the Magpies...

Hi Footy fans... Over the previous few weeks, two sides have been putting the league on notice and its almost like a trip back to the 2000's. The Bulldogs and the Eagles had a storied rivalry over 12 seasons from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 2010's. They clashed in six...

Hi Footy fans... So far this season we have already gotten a dose of representative football with the SANFL defeating a gallant Victorian Football League outfit at Glenelg during this year's AFL Gather Round extravaganza. They will hit the ground again in the second weekend of May against the...

Hi Footy fans... The 2024 SANFL premiership season kicked off with more than 17000 SA footy-heads attending the five games during the pre-Easter period. Then once again, Adelaide hosted the AFL Gather Round, with tens of thousands of football fans flocking to our city. Not only did people...
