The Great Southern Football League is an Australian rules football league based in the state of Western Australia, incorporating teams from towns located within the Great Southern region. The league was formed in 1991 after an amalgamation of the Southern Districts (Denmark, Royals, North Mt Barker, North Albany, Railways, South Mt Barker) and Central Great Southern Football League (Australs, Kojonup, Tambellup, Wanderers, Dumbleyung) Leagues in 1991. [2] All but Denmark and Dumbleyung formed teams in the initial season of the league. [3] There are currently 6 teams covering all tiers of the league.
