Current seasonThe Southern Saints are an Australian rules football club playing in the VFL Women's (VFLW), the major state-level women's Australian rules football league in Victoria. It is affiliated with the Sandringham Football Club, which competes in the Victorian Football League.[1]
History
The Southern Saints entered the VFLW in 2018, after the Seaford Football Netball Club opted to transfer its licence to the St Kilda Football Club.[1]
In its first year, the club had an agreement with the Frankston Football Club. It finished 8th on the ladder at the end of the season.[2]
In 2019, St Kilda and its VFL affiliate, Sandringham, moved to co-manage the club. Since St Kilda entered the AFL Women's competition in 2020, Sandringham holds the Southern Saints team licence.[3]
The club's best season came in 2022, when it finished fifth on the home-and-away ladder. They lost in the grand final to Essendon, going down by 35 points.[4]
Before 2018, the St Kilda Sharks competed in the VFLW, and before that, in the now-defunct Victorian Women's Football League.[5]
