Premiers

Notes

  1. Although 2015 marks the 140th year since 1877 (including 1877 as a counted year and being the first year of competition in the SANFL), the 2015 season was the 133rd since 1877 due to 6 cancelled seasons in 1916-1918 and 1942-1944 due to World Wars I and II. See List of SANFL premiers for confirmation.
