Wikipedia - Adelaide Football Club (SANFL)
The Adelaide Football Club, nicknamed the Crows, is an Australian rules football reserves team which competes in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). Though the Adelaide Football Club was formed in 1990 for the national AFL competition, it was not until 2014 that the club was granted a license to field a dedicated reserves team in the SANFL.
History
The Adelaide Football Club was created as an entity in late 1990 as part of the Australian Football League's expansion into non-Victorian areas. The club first competed in the 1991 AFL season, finishing a respectable ninth on the ladder at the end of the season before first competing in a finals series in 1993.
From 2011, Adelaide club officials began expressing genuine interest in the formation of a stand-alone reserves side in the SANFL competition, rather than continuing with the draft policy which resulted in Adelaide-listed players being released to SANFL clubs when not selected for the AFL team. Originally, considerable opposition from the SANFL clubs and the South Australia Football Commission resulted in the club being denied a SANFL licence; Chairperson John Olsen contending such a change would "compromise the SANFL competition" as well as have a negative impact on league depth, talent, competitiveness and gate takings.
In response, Adelaide made it clear that it intended to establish a stand-alone reserves team from 2014, and that it was prepared to field the team in the South Australian Amateur Football League or in another state if the SANFL continued to refuse it entry. Following improved negotiations between Adelaide executives and SANFL clubs, the Crows' bid for a SANFL stand-alone side was approved by a vote of 6-2 of club executive representatives in August 2013. The 15-year agreement results in Adelaide being required to pay an annual licence fee of $400,000 and commitments to retain the integrity of the SANFL, including an agreement not to rest players.
Adelaide's first SANFL premiership match was against North Adelaide on April 6, 2014.
The Adelaide Crows Reserves compete in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), which is considered one of the premier state-level competitions in Australia. The team plays their home games at various venues across Adelaide, including the iconic Adelaide Oval.
Known for their competitive spirit and strong work ethic, the Adelaide Crows Reserves are a formidable force in the SANFL. With a talented roster of players and dedicated coaching staff, they are always striving to achieve success and contribute to the overall success of the Adelaide Football Club.
Fans of Australian rules football in Adelaide can look forward to watching the Adelaide Crows Reserves in action, as they continue to develop and showcase the next generation of talent in the sport.
