St George Australian Football Club Inc is an Australian Football club competing in the AFL Sydney competition and based in the area of St George, New South Wales. At one stage affiliated with the Adelaide Crows football club, they reverted to their traditional red and white colours in 2009. They are known as the Dragons.
The club formed in 1929. Their home ground is Olds Park, Penshurst. St George have been successful in recent seasons, including grand final appearances in 2004 and 2007 but the club is still aiming for their first premiership since 1993 after defeat in both those grand finals.
Based on market feedback and old colleagues/members requests,[citation needed] the Club Executive confirmed the Club in season 2009, would return to its original colours, Red & White, identified as the St George Dragons. The Club changed its name in 2001, to St George Crows, to align itself with Adelaide Crows AFL Club. This decision ultimately became a disaster and split the Club whereby, support from old players and supporters dropped off dramatically.[citation needed] The change back to St George Dragons, has allowed it to identify with the long established name, Dragons, identified with St George area, rugby league team, residents and businesses.
Mark Roberts who played with Sydney, Brisbane Bears and won a premiership with North Melbourne was also from St George. Both Mark Roberts and Nick Davis played their junior football with Ramsgate JAFC.
Dylan Addison played with the GWS Giants in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, having previously played for Western Bulldogs over eight seasons. Addison's junior club was Bankstown.
More recently ex-St George players Lloyd Perris, Nick Shipley , & Jake Brown has been drafted by AFL clubs in the AFL draft.
