Hall of Fame
The Southern Football League Hall of Fame was established in 2007 in order to provide due recognition to those who have given outstanding service to Australian Football throughout the League history since its establishment in 1886.
Membership is granted to Players, Umpires, Coaches, Administrators, Support Staff and any persons who have provided outstanding service to Australian Football through the Southern Football League or its clubs and, because of the nature of the League, combinations of all types of service is considered.
After the initial inauguration a maximum of five (5) candidates each year are selected by the Hall of Fame Committee for approval by the League Directors.
The general criterion for selection is to have exceptionally served Australian Football through the Southern Football League for a period of 25 years (which do not need to be consecutive).
There may be some exceptions to the general rule and the Hall of Fame Committee shall have the right to nominate these to the Directors for endorsement.
ELITE PLAYERS - Players who have given exceptional service shall be considered (for example the winning of three (3) Mail Medals in "A" Grade is considered exceptional).
SPECIAL SERVICES - Persons who provide special services to Football in exceptional or unusual capacities.
ELITE COACHES - Coaches with exceptional records of coaching within the League.
