Formation
Sutherland Australian Football Club Inc. was originally founded in 1972 in the Sydney Football Association (SFA). Founding members included Kerry and Rob Mowlam (Rob was the First President), Ray Jemmeson, Graham Baldock and Bill Free. The club was known as the Southern Sharks until 2008 when, at an Extraordinary General Meeting, the club members voted unanimously to change their name to the Southern Power. Reasons behind the change included a desire for the Senior and Under 18's teams to play under the same team colours and emblem, and also a wish for the team differentiate itself from the many other teams in the region who had the Shark as their emblem.Club Colours
The clubs colours represent the southern Sydney region colloquially known as the Shire. The colours are light blue, black and white, with a hand holding a lightning bolts the team emblem. While these colours have morphed over the years, they remain essentially the same as they have since the clubs foundation.Home Grounds
