Matches Forfeited?

[Sojourner]

Have any SANFL clubs ever actually forfeited a match for any reason?

[Magpiespower]

Port forfeited a semi-final against South in 1902.

Refused to play under umpire Kneebone.

Club sent a letter to the SAFA outlining its intention.

Disqualified from the rest of the finals series...

Round 16, 1990 at Prospect.

North 27.18.180
Sturt 3.2.20

Sturt should have forfeited that day.
