Club history

Broadview had a long 36-year involvement with the North Adelaide District Association. The Club's changing- room in the '20s was an 8-foot square tin shed in which only 10 players at a time could change. The players wore painted sugar sacks as guernseys, and played on a muddy paddock criss-crossed with cart-tracks. Applications to join the SAAFL in 1937 and 1939 were unsuccessful, but the Club was finally admitted in 1964, and was required to change its guernsey design to avoid a clash with Goodwood. New change-rooms were built in 1961 and substantially extended with licensed facilities in the '80s. The Club had only moderate success in the North Adelaide Association, and it was not until the '80s that it developed into one of the strongest clubs in the SAAFL, as witnessed by its performances in 1987 and 1989 when of its 5 senior teams, 4 were premiers and 1 runner-up. It has had a continuous presence in Division 1 since 1978, longer than any other club except Adelaide University. John 'Harry' Harrison was awarded and O.A.M. for services to junior football after 23 years consecutive service as a coach.

2010, Rnd SEMI1, ATEC U18 B: Broadview v Payneham NU | Unknown |

It was a tough Semi-Finals game as well as harsh and brutal as Broadview and Payneham Norwood Union fought to the death for a spot in next Sunday's Preliminary Final but it was the energized Payneham Norwood Union that went home with the victory by 13 points. Broadview's season came to an end after what has been a very good season for them as Payneham Norwood Union make their way into the Prelimin
