History
Southern Mallee Football Association
The Southern Mallee Football Association (SMFA) was formed in the 1932 and continued until 1996 when it merged with the Northern Mallee Football League to form the Mallee Football League (Victoria).
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.

Prior to the start of the 1937 SMFL season, there was a number of clubs considering moving to another league, which caused a delay to the start of the season.
