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]
The Adelaide Football Club which were Premiers in 1886, joined in 1885 after a merger of North Adelaide Juniors and North Park from the Adelaide and Suburban Association, resigned from the SAFA before the commencement of the 1894 season. It has no relationship to the modern day Adelaide Crows formed in 1990.
From this point forward, no clubs have left since joining: except Woodville and West Torrens which merged in 1991. The SANFL considers Woodville-West Torrens a continuation of both Woodville and West Torrens; thus, the Adelaide Football Club which joined in 1885 is the last team to fold as of 2022.
