Medindie Football Club (nickname Dingoes), which joined the SAFA in 1888, were renamed North Adelaide Football Club on 14 March 1893, at a meeting held at Temperance Hall, North Adelaide.[2]
Adelaide and Eastbourne Junior Club Merger
The annual meeting of the Eastbourne Football Club was held on March 17, and the secretary in his report stated that they had attained the premiership of the City and Suburban Football Association for 1892, having; played 15 matches, won 12, and drawn 3. During the business a discussion took place as to joining the senior Association, and resulted in a sub-committee being elected to work the matter up by the next meeting.[3]
The Adelaide Football Club, which were Premiers in 1886, and had joined in 1885 after a merger of North Adelaide Juniors and North Park from the Adelaide and Suburban Association, merged with the Eastbourne Football Club, 1891 and 1892 Premiers of the City and Suburban Association, for the 1893 Season.[4] This would be the Adelaide Club's last season as they resigned from the senior Association before the commencement of the 1894 season and folded.
From this point forward, no clubs have left since joining: while Woodville and West Torrens merged in 1991, the SANFL considers Woodville-West Torrens to be a continuation of both Woodville and West Torrens; thus, the Adelaide Football Club which joined in 1885 is the last SANFL team to fold as of 2025.
