[The Bedge]

Premiership Droughts

-Seaton Ramblers in the SAAFL would be right up there (1990 from memory)
-There are some clubs in Country SA that date back well over 50 years.

[The Bedge]

Think so far i've got..

Seaton - 1990
Greenacres - 1993
Houghton - 1999
Adel Uni - 1999

Those new to AdFL:
Hackham - 1990 (Div 2 SFL)
Morphettville Park - 1990 (Div 1 SFL)

One Blazing omission - Salisbury North - have never won an A grade flag since coming to SAAFL/Adel Footy League

Who has been in the same division (aside from D1) the longest?

Intrigued as to how consistently someone can come between 3rd and 8th

[LaughingKookaburra]

Flinders Uni in D7 would be a safe bet id think.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Aside from that I’d reckon;

Plympton & Flinders Park D3? I’d back Plympton just a bit longer...

Lockleys in D5 probably around the mark too.

You'd be right LK,
Pretty sure Plympton have been in Div 3 since 2014 (8 years now) after winning the 2013 Div 4 GF.
Flinders Park were relegated from Div 2 in 2014, making it 7 years in Div 3 for them.

[Dutchy]

Locks were in Div 6 in 2015 and been in Div 5 ever since, was probably a fair run of Div 5 prior to that also though.

Have the Crabs ever been above Div 7?

Correct TDK, We have been in div 3 since the relegation in 2014. Trying hard to get out, hopefully this year

I don't reckon Dutchy. I remember playing against Lockleys when they were in div 6 (07) and i reckon they went up a couple of years later and then back down in one year.

Lockleys lost the 2010 Div 6 GF to West Croydon.

Yeh, certain there was more time in div 6 than div 5 prior to 2015

Correct at Richmond Oval, remember it like yesterday, disappointing day.

Yeah you are right was a fair bit of back and forth between 5 & 6 there, mainly 6 tho

[LaughingKookaburra]

Flinders Uni in D7 would be a safe bet id think.

Have the Crabs ever been above Div 7?

Yes, but it was a long time ago. Early to mid 2000’s I can recall them in D6 after winning the D7 flag.

[Lightning McQueen]

Flinders Uni in D7 would be a safe bet id think.

Have the Crabs ever been above Div 7?

What do you expect? Crabs can't go forward or backwards, only sideways.

Have the Crabs ever been above Div 7?

Mid to Late 90’s they were in Div 5 as we played against them at North Haven.
