The wooden spoon is the imaginary and ironic "award" which is said to be won by the team finishing in last place in the South Australian National Football League.
South Australian Football Association (1877) was dissolved in May 1888 after the remaining three Clubs Norwood, Hotham (North Adelaide 1888) and Gawler applied and joined the South Australian United Football Association newly formed by Adelaide, Port Adelaide and South Adelaide who had all resigned from the South Australian Football Association.
The team which finishes with the worst record across the completed season is awarded the wooden spoon.
North Adelaide joined SAFA in 1888 as Medindie and renamed to its current name in 1893.
Adelaide AFL Crows reserves first competed in SANFL in 2014 season.
