Eastern FL

The Eastern Football League was a name change for the Eastern Districts Football League to make the name more marketable and also incorporated the absorbing of the Knox Junior FL into it's junior structure.
==History==
In its first season in 1998 South Waverley/Sandown changed their name to Southern Cobras, and Whitehorse (formerly Box Hill Pioneers) moved in from the Southern FL in something of a controversial move as Box Hill had folded and then reformed to dodge the transfer process after the Southern FL refused to approve their transfer. In 1999 the Southern FL got their own back by allegedly paying Clayton to jump to them (this left Division One with a bye that season), and Fair Park changed their name to Eastern Lions. In 2000 after several attempts, Noble Park joined the competition from the Southern FL, and Chirnside Park joined from the Victorian Amateur FA. Southern Cobras went into recess for a season, and returned in 2001 before moving to the Southern FL in 2002. In the same year Mount Evelyn departed the competition for the Yarra Valley Mountain District FL, whilst Surrey Park joined - again from the Southern FL. In 2005 a brand new club in Glen Waverley joined the competition.
In 2007 Balwyn joined the competition from the Southern FL and in 2008 South Belgrave transferred from the Yarra Valley Mountain District FL, followed by Canterbury from the Southern FL in 2009. In 2011 Silvan arrived from the Yarra Valley Mountain District FL, and in 2012 Park Orchards formed a senior team for the first time. In 2014 Canterbury left to join the Victorian Amateur FA while Donvale went into recess, returning in 2015. In 2017 the Eastern Lions reverted back to Fair Park
In 2019 the league added a division and included North Croydon, a re-packaged Mount Lilydale from the Victorian Amateur FA. The season was abandoned without a game being played in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and after a number of games were played including Berwick from the Outer East FL joining the competition the 2021 season was also abandoned for the same reasons. In 2022 Beaconsfield followed Berwick from the Outer East FL and Oakleigh District joined from the Southern FL. For the 2023 season Glen Waverley went into recess.
