The Sutherland Australian Football Club is based in the Sydney region of the Sutherland Shire. The Southern Power (as they are known) play their home games at Lincoln Oval (Waratah Park No. 4) in Sutherland. The club competes in the Sydney AFL competition.
The club was founded in 1972 in the Sydney Football Association (SFA). The club was known as the Southern Sharks until 2008 when the club members voted to change their name to the Southern Power. Reasons behind the change included a wish for the team to differentiate itself from the many other teams in the region who had the Shark as their emblem.
