Teams[]

The Grand Final was contested by the 2015 minor premiers Woodville-West Torrens and West Adelaide. This was the first time the two teams have played each other in the SANFL Grand Final. West Adelaide defeated the premiership favorites Woodville-West Torrens by 30 points to claim their ninth premiership overall and first since 1983 (thirty-two years, the second longest premiership drought in SANFL history).

Woodville-West Torrens won their way into the club's 9th Grand Final after defeating West Adelaide 11.13 (79) to 9.11 (65) in the Second Semi-final. A week later West Adelaide defeated Central District 15.8 (98) to 6.9 (45) in the Preliminary final to advance to the club's 18th SANFL Grand Final.

Entertainment[]

Australian alternative rock band You Am I provided the pre-game entertainment. You Am I lead singer-songwriter-guitarist Tim Rogers spent time growing up in Adelaide and attended over 600 SANFL games as a supporter of Sturt.
