  South Australian National Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The competition is renowned for high-quality football and is generally accepted to be the second best football league in Australia, behind the AFL.
Mergers were geographically determined with Port Adelaide merging with West Torrens, West Adelaide merging with Glenelg, Sturt merging with South Adelaide and Norwood merging with North Adelaide.
However matters came to an abrupt head on July 31, 1990, when the Port Adelaide Football Club, feeling it was subsidising the other SANFL clubs, made an independent bid to the join the AFL.

His contribution to the club's 1918 grand final defeat of Collingwood was significant and decisive, as it was he who made the surging run down the wing culminating in a kick to the goal square which enabled Chris Laird to soccer the winning goal.
He was voted the club's best and fairest player in 1981 and 1984, and served as captain from 1984 to 1986, but the unarguable highlight of his career was participation in the resounding 82 point grand final defeat of Glenelg in 1987.
Club captain in 1954 and 1955 (his last season), Treasure's "relaxed style earned him the humorous-affectionate nickname of 'Loafer', but many opponents found to their cost that his sometimes leisurely attitude cloaked a precision of movement" (see footnote 1).

 West Torrens
Torrens and North Adelaide then fought out a low scoring draw in the final only for the blue and golds to succumb by 5 points in the replay; they thus finished 3rd.
In a perverse way, those associated with West Torrens must have been thankful, for the club appeared to be entering a depressed phase with 7th and 8th place finishes in 1940 and 1941 respectively.
Torrens half back Frank Graham read the play, however, and ran in to intercept before launching a swift counter attack which culminated in Ray Hank kicking what proved to be the decisive goal.

 WWT Eagles
Many had argued that, given the resources and population of the state, eight clubs rather than ten should be viewed as an optimum number, and that spreading the talent more thinly would only lead to a diminution in the overall standard and a broadening of the gulf between strong and weak.
As the following tables clearly demonstrate, the performances of West Adelaide and West Torrens worsened appreciably after the inception of the ten team format, while perhaps the most charitable thing which could be said about Woodville is that they were never really a force.
Further potency is given to the argument when you examine the respective performances of West Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens since the establishment of the latter club in 1991.

A member of West Coast premiership teams in 1992 and 1994 Jakovich was still playing excellent football towards the end of his career when he was a role model for a new generation of Eagles footballers.
He was club captain in 1906-7, and three years after his retirement as a player, in 1913, he returned to the VFL as non-playing coach of Richmond, leading the comparative league novices to 7th place on the ladder in a ten team competition.
In 1933 he was appointed club captain and steered his side to the grand final from 4th place on the ladder, but West Torrens proved to have the Redlegs measure.
