Mayne Australia Football Club are an Australian rules football club based in the Brisbane suburb of Enoggera. Their club colours are black and gold and they are nicknamed the Tigers.
History
They joined the Queensland Football League in 1925 and played in the top tier of Queensland football until 1999. After the 1999 season the club was actually excluded from the competition, whereupon it entered into a legal battle with the AFL which ended up in the Federal Court. Ultimately, Mayne was successful - a unique achievement for such a comparatively small club - and the 2001 season found it reinstated, with damages, the league was renamed the Queensland State League. Mayne struggled in the four years winning only 5 of 72 games and finishing last in all four years.
It moved into the Pineapple Hotel Cup competition in 2005 and managed to play in an Elimination final. Since then the club has struggled, finishing last in 2007, 2010 and 2011.
They are now playing in SEQAFL Division One PHC. As from 2014 Mayne play in the QFA North competition. To be noted Mayne Tigers were undefeated in 2014, 18-0 in the regular season and winning the Major Semi Final and Grand Final!
Notable players
Footballers to have played for the club include Jason Akermanis, Richard Champion and Mick Nolan.
