History edit
The club was the result of a merger of the Hopetoun and the Beulah football clubs in 2014 and competed in the last year of the Mallee Football League in 2015. The league was reduced to five clubs and was deemed uneconomical to continue.
The club was accepted into the Horsham District Football Netball League for the 2016 season. It won the premiership and again the following years. Its two years saw it undefeated with a winning streak of 36 games. Deemed too strong for the local competition the Southern Mallee Giants joined the Wimmera Football League in 2018.
The club merged with Jeparit-Rainbow from the Horsham District Football Netball League following the 2023 season to form Southern Mallee Thunder.
