SANFL season (cancelled)

See also: 2020 SANFL season. Port Adelaide's reserves team, known as the Magpies, had been fixtured for another season in the SANFL. In May 2020 however the AFL ordered all AFL-listed players not to play in any state league, preventing Port Adelaide from fielding their SANFL team for the 2020 season.[2]
