Mid Gippsland FL

The Mid Gippsland Football League was formed in 1935 as a name change from the Morwell Yallourn FL.
==History==
The first season featured the following clubs - Boolarra, Brown Coal Mine, Imperials, Morwell Bridge, Morwell reserves and Yinnar. In 1936 Morwell Bridge went into recess as Haunted Hills and Thorpdale joined, and in 1937 Morwell Bridge returned. The competition gained stability - until 1939 when Haunted Hills left and were replaced by Hernes Oak. World War 2 hit and in 1940 Brown Coal Mine, Hernes Oak and Imperials went into recess. In 1941 Morwell fielded their seniors instead of their reserves and Moe also played but Boolarra, Thorpdale and Yinnar went into recess and teams called Briquettes and Powerhouse filled in - but the league went into recess in 1942.
The league returned in 1946 with Boolarra, Brown Coal Mine, Morwell Bridge, Morwell reserves, Thorpdale and Yinnar returning. They were joined by Brown Coal Mine Juniors, Hazelwood, Hill End and Remnants. In 1947 Morwell reserves left and were replaced by Erica, which Brown Coal Mine joined with it's junior team to form Rovers and Imperials. But in 1948 that ended and a new club entered the competition in Yallourn North. Remnants also folded. A separate club called Rovers joined in 1950. In 1953 Morwell Bridge went into recess but they returned in 1954. In 1955 Dumbalk and Mirboo North joined the competition, but in 1956 Morwell Bridge left - this time for good.
In 1957 Newborough joined the competition with Erica going into recess, while in 1958 Dumbalk and Mirboo North both left and Rovers folded as Erica returned. However Eric left for good in 1959 leaving the competition with seven clubs. In 1961 Leongatha reserves joined the competiton, followed by Morwell thirds in 1962. The thirds left in 1964 and Leongatha reserves followed in 1965. Maryvale rejoined the competition in 1966 as Hazelwood changed their name to Hazelwood/Churchill.
In 1969 Trafalgar joined the competition from the Latrobe Valley FL while Mirboo North returned from the South Gippsland FL. A new club, Morwell East, joined in 1973. In 1977 Yarragon joined replacing Yallourn North who departed and merged with Yallourn in the LVFL. In 1979 Newborough left and in 1981 Hazelwood/Churchill became just Churchill before leaving the league in 1984 for the LVFL. In 1986 Yallourn/Yallourn North came in from the LVFL and Newborough also returned but in 1987 Maryvale folded.
This led to a long period of stability, until 2019 when Yarragon departed for Ellinbank District FL. This was partly due to AFL Victoria instructing the MGFL to absorb the six clubs from the Alberton FL only to have the move deferred. The 2020 season was lost entirely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 the absorbing went ahead with Fish Creek, Foster, Meeniyan/Dumbalk, Stony Creek, Tarwin and Toora joining the competition. However Trafalgar and Yallourn/Yallourn North wanted nothing to do with it, with Trafalgar moving to the EDFL and Yallourn/Yallourn North moving to the North Gippsland FL. However the season was abandoned again due to the pandemic.
