The Panthers have won 11 SANFL premierships, their last being in 1964. Recently, South Adelaide won back-to-back SANFLW premierships in 2018 and 2019. In 2023 South Adelaide also won the first SANFL Development League Premiership against an undefeated Norwood, who had miss slip at half time by declaring that they won. The club also participated in the Leagues Championship Cup.
South Adelaide Football Club is the owner of South Adelaide Netball Club and South Adelaide Volleyball Club, with all three clubs now under the Panthers brand. The partnership between these clubs is seen as an initiative to establish South Adelaide as the sporting hub for the southern community.[2]
History
Club Formation and Early Days
The South Adelaide Football Club is one of the two surviving original members of the South Australian Football Association formed 30 April 1877 [3] still competing in the SANFL, and has held its original colours (which were originally blue caps and long white trousers) longer than any other and has competed in every single season.
A meeting was held on Wednesday 12th April 1876 at the Draper Memorial Schoolroom, Adelaide in the evening for the purpose of forming a South Adelaide Football Club. There were more than thirty persons present and Mr. C. Simmonds presided. A set of rules was adopted, and the following officers were elected: President,
On Wednesday 19th April 1876 at the General Havelock Hotel, The South Adelaide Football Club which formed in 1875 and had its' head quarters in the south east portion of the city, resolved without a dissentient that it should amalgamate with the new Club started this season to create one really good Club rather than two modest clubs. It was also proposed to move the practice ground to a new one on the Park Lands nearer to King William Street.[6][7]
The new South Adelaide club played their first game on 20 May 1876 against the Victorian Club at Montefiore Hill which started at 3pm. George Kennedy an ex Carlton player was the club captain. After some hard work and several disputes over the rules of the game it ceased 2 hours later after the Victorians scored a goal.[8] South Adelaide was joint SAFA Club Champions along with the Victorians in the inaugural SAFA season of 1877.
Golden Era of Success
Between 1885 and 1900 South Adelaide won seven premierships (1885, 1892, 1893, 1895, 1896, 1898 and 1899) and was runner-up eight times between 1881 and 1903 (1881, 1882, 1886, 1894, 1897, 1900, 1902, 1903).[9]
South Adelaide was led from 1888 to 1898 by captain and "proto-coach"
Decline after District Football
Following an enforced halt to SAFL football during
Brief Halcyon and Abrupt Fall
In response to South Adelaide's limited metropolitan recruiting resources, the club began a concerted country recruiting campaign during the 1930s. This bore spectacular fruit between 1935 and 1940. Under coach Vic Johnson, South Adelaide after a slow start played impressive football throughout 1935 and ultimately upset Port Adelaide for its first premiership since 1899. Jack Cockburn at centre half-back was the team's star and won the Magarey Medal. After two more seasons in the finals, South Adelaide reached a high point in 1938, losing only two games and swamping Port Adelaide with a 13-goal third quarter in the Grand Final.[13] Led by Clem Rosewarne, Max Murdy and Len Lapthorne, South averaged an amazing 132 points per game, and even without Rosewarne their attack remained extremely potent in 1939 and 1940, averaging 125 points over the minor round. The blue and whites failed badly in the 1939 finals, but won two finals before losing to Sturt in 1940.
1941 saw South slip to fifth with only six wins, but that could hardly have prepared them for the experiences of the two decades after full-scale football resumed after World War II.[14] Between 1947 and 1951 South won only seven games out of eighty-six, and from 1945 to 1963 South never won more than six games in a season, nor finished above any rival except Glenelg and Sturt. Other clubs with greater financial resources duplicated South's 1930s country recruiting campaigns and the club turned over coaches at an extraordinary rate. Eight coaches were employed in nine seasons from 1953 to 1961: even a spell by Port Adelaide legend "Fos" Williams in 1960 failed to raise them above second last, and neither did the adoption of the club's current nickname "The Panthers" in 1957[15]
Kerley and Another Decline
In 1959, after doubting whether the club was viable as a league team, the SANFL granted South Adelaide a substantial area of newly developing southern Adelaide suburbs. During the early 1960s it became apparent that South Adelaide, though only marginally better statistically than the dreadful late 1940s and early 1950s teams, was possessed of enough talent to move beyond the bottom couple of placings. In 1963, South Adelaide sought the services of proven West Adelaide player/coach Neil Kerley after he was controversially sacked by the Bloods, and despite being sceptical Kerley did accept and put the team on an intense training schedule during the 1963/1964 off-season.[12]
South Adelaide rose rapidly in 1964, losing only three minor round games before defeating Port Adelaide by 27 points in the Grand Final. It remained prominent for the remaining two years of Kerley's stint but failed to make the grand final. However, under champion player Peter Darley as captain-coach the Panthers declined very quickly owing to the loss of key followers Kerley and David Kantilla,
Noarlunga
In 1979, South Adelaide's recruiting zone in the southern suburbs was extended to cover all the developing areas around

Three South Australian Premiers have had a close association with the South Adelaide Football Club:
South Adelaide entered a team in the SANFL Women's League in 2018. In their short history fielding a women's team, they have become the most successful team in the competition, winning back-to-back premierships in 2018/19.[17]

South Adelaide christened their new home at Noarlunga in Round 8 of the 1995 SANFL season. The opening game at Noarlunga also saw the ground record crowd of 10,123 when Glenelg defeated the Panthers by 47 points. Originally called Noarlunga Oval, the name was officially changed to Hickinbotham Oval in 2005 to honour former Panther and successful property developer, the late Alan Hickinbotham.[1]

Club song
The current club song is based on "Lily of Laguna", which is the same tune the Carlton Football Club's song is based on.
We are the blue and white
We are the grand old blue and white
We're the team to take the Panthers top
Until we win the flag we will not stop
Fight on forever,
We'll weaken never in our endeavour
To raise the Panther flag to glory
We are the famous blue and white!
The original club song contained the following lyrics and was based on an original tune;
Fly the blue and white flag high,
Proudly we bear South's banner,
We're Panthers and we'll do or we'll die,
For everything that we hold dear.
Cheer with mighty Panther roars,
Shout 'till the rafters ring,
The mighty blue and white forever,
Let each and everyone here sing...
