Southern Mallee Football League

The Southern Mallee Football League (SMFL) was an Australian rules football competition that finished in 1996 based in the Mallee region of Victoria, Australia.

The league featured three grades in the Australian rules football competition, being First-Grade, Reserve-Grade and Under 16s.

In the 1937 SMFA grand final, E McCarthy kicked 15 goals for Hopetoun Football Club to help them defeat Kenmare.

In April, 1938 the SMFA was renamed the SMF League at its annual general meeting.

[7] The SMFL folded prior to the start of the 1938 season, with a number of clubs wishing to move to other neighbouring leagues[8] and with Sea Lake going onto play in the Manangatang Waitchie Football League.
