FOSTERCurrent Affiliation: Alberton Football League (AlbFL) since 1946 Formed: 1891 Colours: Black and yellow Emblem: Tigers Senior AlbFL Premierships: 1946, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1989, 1993, 2010 (8 total) When Foster was a foundation member in 1946 of the Alberton Football League the club had already been in existence for in excess of half a century. It quickly established itself in the new competition, winning a premiership in its debut season, and finishing runner-up in its second. After that, however, it endured three decades of mediocre performances during which a handful of preliminary final appearances were the closest it came to procuring another flag. The Tigers re-emerged as a force during the late 1970s, and in the seven seasons between 1978 and 1984 they contested every grand final except one, for wins in 1978, 1980, 1982 and 1984. The late 1980s and early 1990s produced a similar sequence of grand final appearances (five in a row on this occasions) for a 2-3 record overall. Foster's last senior premiership of the twentieth century was claimed in 1993 at the expense of Won Wron Woodside. The Tigers struggled for most of the first decade of the new century before breaking through to capture their eighth senior grade AlbFL flag in 2010 with a 13.20 (98) to 11.8 (74) grand final defeat of reigning premier Stony Creek.
