	Nickname - Australian Football League
		The merge of Fitzroy with Brisbane at the end of the 1996 season saw the 'Lions' nickname retained.
		Port Adelaide's first concerted push to enter the AFL spurred the rest of the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) into action and the Adelaide 'Crows' became the first SA team to join the AFL.
		The choice of the name 'West Coast', rather than the more obvious and logical 'Perth', was due to a 'Perth' team already playing in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).
