The Southern Saints entered the VFLW in 2018, after the
Seaford Football Club left the competition and had its licence transferred to the
St Kilda Football Club. In its
first season, the club had an agreement with the
Frankston Football Club. It finished 8th on the ladder at the end of the season. In 2019, St Kilda and its VFL affiliate,
Sandringham, co-managed the club. After St Kilda entered the
AFL Women's competition in 2020, Sandringham took over the Southern Saints team licence and full responsibility for the commercial and operational management of the team. The club's best season came in 2022, when it finished fifth on the home-and-away ladder. They lost in the grand final to
Essendon, going down by 35 points. On 28 October 2024, Sandringham announced that the Southern Saints would be known as the Sandringham Zebras (as of 1 November 2024), consolidating both identities under the one club for the
2025 season. ==Seasons==
