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, the first Australian rules football club in South Australia, dropped out of the SAFA and folded at the end of the season. It has no relation to the modern day Adelaide Crows.

The league would stabilise from this point forward, with no clubs leaving since: while Woodville and West Torrens merged in 1991, the SANFL considers Woodville-West Torrens a continuation of both Woodville and West Torrens; thus, the original Adelaide Football Club is the last SANFL team to fold as of 2022.
