South Australia has produced some of the game's greatest players.
Ranging from premiership captains to Brownlow medallists, the traditional football state has a proud history in the game, playing host to a competition for over a century.
Taking a look back on the best players to come from the SANFL, we've named the greatest player each club has produced for the AFL since the century began.
Here's who we've selected, along with a few honourable mentions for each SANFL club...
7. Sturt
The Collingwood, Melbourne, and Sydney ruckman narrowly beat out some heavy competition for this title, with Sturt producing a host of stars in recent years.
Despite a lean year in his only season at the Demons in 2023, in which his partnership with Max Gawn did not work, Grundy has long been considered the best ruckman in the league behind Gawn, winning two All-Australians and two best and fairest awards with the Magpies.
Incredibly mobile for his size of 203cm, Grundy often acts as an extra midfielder at stoppages, following up at ground level after the ruck duel.
Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson can consider himself incredibly unlucky to miss out, establishing himself as one of the league's best midfielders since crossing to the Crows in 2022.
Former Adelaide and Sydney defender Martin Mattner was also right in contention as a pivotal player in Sydney's 2012 flag, while forwards Chad Wingard and Angus Monfries are also worth mentioning.
