For TheGoatBaron :
All I have on Footypedia re the VFA Sub-District comp:
Some links to round results on Trove (the last one was a final, perhaps a premiership?):
trove.nla.gov.au
Here are screenies of those links:
Via Google there is a group of old footy artefacts that were once listed for sale, including a membership card for the Southern Stars. The image is tiny and when I zoom the text is too blurry to read clearly, but does seem to express premiership years which might be 1952, 56 & 57 but I can't tell for sure.
There is a kind of blog style webpage with a reference to a player (Ken Boyd) who was invited to play with the Southern Stars. It suggests that the club was mostly stocked with painters and dockers. Also confirms Southern Stars as a premiership team in 1956 (and runners-up in 1955). Apparently he went on to play for South Melbourne.
And Bigfooty has an old thread on the league with a couple of posts including details of a season posted by Todman who helped me HEAPS with footypedia back in the day:

Discussion - Sunday Amateur Leagues
My father in law grew up in Port Melbourne and talks about playing in the Sunday Amateur League. There was also another rival competition called the SAFA. There were up to twenty or more teams in each competition and drew enormous crowds. Ive looked in the newspapers on Trove and see it existed...

You’re a legend Mobbs!!! 1951 sounds about right with the year he may have been playing. He was also a boxer around that time also. And the name Ken Boyd rings a bell coming from South Melbourne. Does it have a list of players who played in that 1951 team by any chance?For TheGoatBaron :

There weren't any player lists or even goalkickers/best players that I could find with any of the articles - just scores from matches as the old newspapers used to collate for each Sunday or Monday paper. But I can examine Trove a bit more and see what else shows up.
Blokes like Todman (here) and also Phil Gluyas on Facebook might also have a lot more data than I would. If you're keen on getting more info, those would be the ones to hit up. (VFA Sub-District 1951 / 52 specifically Southern Stars FC)

Here's a couple of player names from June 1951 :
[Emerald Hill Record via Trove]
Another from later the same month:
[Emerald Hill Record via Trove]
Emerald Hill was a name given to the South Melbourne area back then, mostly with reference to the parts of the suburb which were on risen topography above the swampier lowlands.
