The worst-injured man, one of the game's goalkeepers, was hit from behind with a bottle.
Witnesses said the Seaford Rangers keeper was "smashed from behind" by an opposition Maiwand player and another Seaford player was "knocked out" when hit several times with a metal pole during a fight involving about 50 people.
The injured player regained consciousness shortly after and a doctor at the scene gave medical care to both men before paramedics and police arrived, witnesses said.
A fight broke out on the field between players just before 5pm then spilled over to include spectators in an "intense" brawl in front of other spectators, including young mothers and at least two children aged under six.
"He (a Maiwand player) was swinging the pole around and the guy went down, out cold, and the (goalie) was smashed with a bottle on the back of his neck," a witness told The Advertiser.
"When they realised he was really hurt, a lot of people just ran off. There were a lot of people with bloody faces."
More than a dozen police attended and Adelaide CIB detectives are currently interviewing witnesses and players.
