Australian rules football season
The 1883 South Australian Football Association season was the 7th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.
Norwood went on to record its 6th consecutive premiership.
The Victorian Football Club at its Annual General Meeting held on Friday 16 March 1883 at Scotch Thistle Hotel, North Adelaide, with 40 members present, resolved to change its name to North Adelaide Football Club.[1] This club has no connection to the modern day SANFL North Adelaide Roosters.
Programme and Ovals
[edit]
At the annual meeting of the association an important motion was carried, the effect of which will be that the clubs will in future be allowed to fix their own matches. By this arrangement the contending clubs will share the proceeds of the gate, and thus
the better teams will be the principal gainers. Efforts are being made to secure the Adelaide and Kensington ovals , which if successful will, it is thought, result in the association paying the clubs 50 per cent, and retaining the other 50. The money
derived from the gate on the Alberton Oval will be divided, the competing clubs receiving one-third each, and the trustees of the ground the remainder. [2]

Note: Each team played every other team 4 times except Port Adelaide due to an interstate trip didn’t play South Park and North Adelaide in one match each.
South Park were ranked above South Adelaide on head-to-head record (2-1).
The Victorian Football Club renamed itself North Adelaide at the beginning of the season but has no connection to the modern day North Adelaide Roosters.
