The Windsor Mariners Australian Football Club was formerly an OAFL (Ontario Australian Football League) Team.

History
The team was founded in 2002 by Australian Adrian Parry. The club took the Fremantle uniform as it was the only one immediately available. The name Mariners was chosen due to the anchor on front of the uniform and the busy Detroit River ship traffic. It was the only team in the OAFL that could play in the US Nationals. Initially the club played 6 home games for the 2002 season as the team was integrated into the league. In 2004, the club established itself as a very competitive one and a possible contender for the Conacher Cup (OAFL Premiership). The club folded at the end of 2005 due to financial issues.
