Mad Monday celebrations are something fans and players alike look forward to for an entire season.
While AFL premier Geelong has had a well-documented celebration after taking out the 2022 flag, SA’s local clubs have also gone all out to mark yet another year in footy.
Here are the best of the bunch:
MAGPIES MARK SPECIAL YEAR
Port District won its first premiership in 30 years when it defeated Prince Alfred Old Collegians in the Adelaide Footy League division one grand final.
The club’s celebrations were expectedly action-packed, with Star Wars stormtroopers, super heroes and footy commentators all packing out the Semaphore Palais.
MINION MONDAY FOR TIGERS
Broadview’s impressive division two season culminated in its first A Grade premiership since 2009 and the Tigers celebrated with a common theme – Minions.
GOLDEN GROVE GOES EMO
Golden Grove’s undefeated season in division three was one of the most impressive in Adelaide Footy League history, and so might its end of year celebrations be.
The Kookaburras went emo at the Golden Grove Tavern.
The women’s side also enjoyed their fair share of the Mad Monday shenanigans this year, dressing as rapper ‘Pitbull’ to end their season on an amusing note.
The side celebrated a strong season after falling just short of a grand final berth in the division three women’s competition.
STRANGER THINGS IN EDWARDSTOWN
Edwardstown surged in to the division three grand final and subsequent promotion to division two from fourth spot on the ladder in season 2022.
The celebrations spanned multiple days, with a group of Stranger Things characters standing out.
RAMBLERS CELEBRATE SAFETY
Seaton Ramblers avoided relegation from division three this year to stay safe in the league for season 2023 and the end of year celebrations were deservedly exciting.
UNDEFEATED DRAGONS DELIVER
Greenacres completed an impressive undefeated year in division seven of the Adelaide Footy League and stars Jamie Howcroft and Matt Kemp headlined the celebrations.
GOODWOOD GIRLS CAP OFF BIG YEAR
Goodwood Saints’ division three women’s team had a fantastic year, ultimately defeating Brighton in the grand final.
SIMPSONS SHOW AT TWO WELLS
Two Wells partied hard to celebrate a big Adelaide Plains Football League grand final win over Balaklava, the Roosters topping the Peckers 109-72.
