Based in the inner northern suburb of Prospect, North Adelaide was established in 1888 as the Medindie Football Club before changing its name in 1893.
The Roosters have won 14 League premierships, including a drought-breaking triumph in 2018 in which they rose from fifth place at the end of the minor round and 10th place in 2017.
Two of South Australia’s greatest footballers donned the red and white – Barrie Robran and Ken Farmer – with both players having a statue outside Adelaide Oval.

Location
Prospect is the seat of the City of Prospect and an inner northern suburb of greater Adelaide. It is located 5 km north of Adelaide’s centre. To the new settlers, the undeveloped locality presented a “beautiful prospect”, being described as “well timbered, with waving gum and shady trees”. Thus the early township was dubbed Prospect Village by Colonel William Light shortly after the colonisation of South Australia in 1838.
