Former clubs
[edit]History
[edit]Pre WWII (Late 1800s–1945)
[edit]Australian Football began on Kangaroo Island in the late 1800s, with the first organised competition beginning in 1908 with the formation of Kingscote and Dudley United clubs. Wisanger joined in 1910, thereafter several clubs came and went such as Muston.
Post WWII (1946– )
[edit]The Kangaroo Island Football League (KIFL) was formed in 1946 with founding clubs of Kingscote and Wisanger. They were joined by Parndana, American River and Nepean Bay. With the demise of the latter two clubs Western Districts became the fifth club in 1970, with the league maintaining that structure to the present day. The reserve competition was formed in 1958 and the colts competition. Senior colts was formed in 1966 as an U15's competition, in 1976 saw it change to U16's and currently it is U15's. The junior colts was formed in 1970, formerly called the minis, and in 1976 it was changed to U13's and today it is the U12's.
Notable past players
[edit]Player | Club | Years active in KIFL | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Brendon Lade | Western Districts Wisanger |
Lade made his AFL debut with Port Adelaide in Round 1, 1997, in what was also Port Adelaide's debut AFL match. Lade played 234 games (182 goals) for Port Adelaide as a ruckman and forward, whilst also being part of Port Adelaide's 2004 AFL premiership side. Other career highlights include; 1997 AFL Rising Star nominee, All-Australian 2006 & 2007 and the John Cahill Medallist in 2006. After his AFL career, Lade has been an assistant coach at Richmond, Port Adelaide, Stkilda and is currently at the Western Bulldogs. | |
Bradley Crabb | Western Districts | 1995–2003 2022- | After playing his junior career on Kangaroo Island, winning the Pharmacy medal as best player in colts and playing in Western Districts 2003 premiership, Crabb made his league debut for South Adelaide in 2007. Crabb was a regular in defence and became known as reliable and a great clubman, as proven by him winning best clubman in 2013 and 2018. Crabb was named club captain in 2015, 2016, and 2017 and he was named at Full back in "The Advertiser Team of the Year in 2015. Crabb retired in 2019 having played 215 league games, over 300 games in total for South Adelaide and he kicked a total of 6 goals. Brad returned to the island, playing with his junior club, Western Districts. He was a member of their 2022 premiership. |
David Stoeckel | Dudley United | 1981–1984 | After dominating in the 1984 grand final against Wisanger, David joined South Adelaide as a twenty year old key forward and went on to have an illustrious career from 1985–1997. David played 267 games and kicked 391 goals during this time, and was rewarded with life membership in 1994. Other awards included best team man in 1996, and David was also the club's leading goalkicker in 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1996. David captained South Adelaide in 1996 and 1997, and was recognised with induction into the SANFL hall of fame in 2015. |
Roger Williams | Nepean Bay, Kingscote & Dudley United | 1960–1990 | Roger Williams is arguably the greatest footballer to play on Kangaroo Island. He stands with the best country footballers in South Australia as a seven time Mail medal winner, one of only four players to achieve this feat. Roger made his senior debut as a 12-year-old for Nepean Bay in 1960, and played for two seasons for them before moving to Adelaide for his schooling. During this time Roger played a handful of reserves games in 1964, and made his senior debut in 1965. He would go on to play 50 league and reserves games over the next three seasons, before being transferred to Glenelg mid 1967 where he played another 4 league games. Roger returned to the island in 1968, playing with Kingscote winning the Mail Medal in 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976 and 1977. He transferred to Dudley United as playing coach in 1978, and set the standard for his new team by winning the medal that year too. Roger credits his brother, John and his colts coach, Charlie Inglis, as his greatest influences in football. |
Danny Jenkins | Parndana | 1969–1975, 1986–1997? | Jenkins joined SANFL club Norwood, having won the Kangaroo Island Football League's best and fairest award in 1974. He made his senior Redlegs debut, aged twenty-one, in 1976, and ended up winning the club's best first year player award. The twin highlights of his career were the victorious grand finals of 1982 against Glenelg, when he won the Jack Oatey Medal as best afield, and 1984 against Port Adelaide when he was in his only season as captain of the side. He also played in the victorious grand final of 1978 against Sturt. Between 1976 and 1985 he played a total of 198 senior SANFL games and represented South Australia 5 times.[2] |
Allan Howard | Parndana | 1966–1971, 1979–1986? | Allan Howard debuted for North Adelaide in 1971 and was a member that year of the Roosters' winning grand final combination against Port Adelaide. He lined up on a half back flank on that occasion, as he did in the following year's premiership decider against the same opposition. Howard also played in the 1973 grand final but despite being one of the best players on view could not prevent the Roosters succumbing to Glenelg by seven points.
Early in his SANFL career Howard sometimes played as a ruck-rover but he blossomed after being shifted to a half back flank. Between 1971 and 1978 and in 1981 he played 144 senior games for North and booted three goals. Both prior to commencing with the Roosters and during the gap in his SANFL career Allan Howard played with distinction for the Parndana Football Club on Kangaroo Island where he won a couple of Mail Medals for competition best and fairest in 1980 and 1981. |

Representative football
[edit]Kangaroo Island qualified in the B division for the 1970 Caltex Country Championship and were successful, defeating the Woomera, Southern and Murraylands Leagues. In 1988 Kangaroo Island combined with Great Southern to play a match against Tatiara in the opening round of the Escort Cup, losing by three points. Association matches were played spasmodically against Southern Yorke Peninsula and Yorke Valley. The KIFL was involved with the Mortlock Shield which takes place amongst several amateur country teams in Port Lincoln annually competing from 1990–1996 and from 2010–2016, the highest placing being fourth out of six teams. From 1992–1998 KIFL played an annual match against the Great Southern under 23 team, the Great Southern side leading the head-to-head 5–2. In 1999, KIFL took on a full strength Great Southern side, losing by 99 points. From 2000–2009 association matches were played spasmodically against Hills Country, Riverland and Southern leagues. Since 2017 matches have been played against Southern under 23's, KIFL losing the first match, winning the second and in 2019 a draw. Since 2015, the best of the KIFL Under 17's have played against the Southern Under 15's, Southern leading the head to head 6–1.
