In 2002 the SANFL established a Hall of Fame to "recognise and enshrine players, coaches, umpires, administrators and journalists who have made a most significant contribution to the game of Australian Football in South Australia since its inception in 1877.
Haven't looked all through it, but in the wiki it has:
PETER KITSCHKE
* Inducted 2005
* 510 games (221 consecutive games) for Jamestown 1948 - 1974
* (Credited with a total of 577 games including representative matches)
* Captain of Jamestown for 7 years
* Retired in 1974 – Aged 43
* Numerous representative matches for Northern Areas Association team
* Member of Premiership teams for Jamestown on 4 occasions 1958, 1959, 1961 and 1968
* Thirteen (13) time Best and Fairest for Jamestown
* Seven time Mail medal winner 1957, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1969, 1971, 1974
* Five time runner up for the Mail medal 1952, 1958, 1961, 1964, 1965
* Twice placed third for the Mail medal - 1960, 1970
* SANFL Affiliated Leagues Merit Award recipient 2003
* Life Member of Jamestown Football Club
* Coach of Jamestown for 9 years
* Coach of the Northern Areas Football Association Carnival Team for 5 years (with Shield wins in 1964 and 1965)
* Umpired on the Northern Areas Umpires panel in 1975 -1994
* Transferred to the North Eastern Areas Umpires panel in 1995 and continued till 2001 -- (still umpired some colts games in 2003 at 73 years of age)
* Coached North Eastern Umpires panel 1997 - 1999

Plus I think McSporran was inducted as much for his Spencer Gulf football as for his SANFL career.

To the best of my knowledge the Australian Football HoF has one VFA player and noone at all below that level, yet claims to represent all Australian football.
