The club was formerly known as the Daylesford "Demons" until 2006, when they joined the Central Highlands Football League.

History

In September, 1877, Daylesford played an Australian Rules Football match against Castlemaine, which resulted in a draw. [1] [2]

In 1914, the club's colours were blue and white. [3]

In 1926, J P Crockett was elected as President of the Daylesford FC for the 17th successive year. [4] In 1938, J P Crockett was elected as club President. [5]

Daylesford player, Reg Cole, won the club's 1949 best and fairest award, which was apparently the 14th best and fairest award he had won across 23 seasons of Australian Rules Football and seven different country leagues. [6] [7] Cole was previously captain-coach of Daylesford in 1935. [8]

In 1950, Daylesford were minor premiers, with Maldon taking out the major Castlemaine Football League premiership. [9]

The club competed in the Ballarat Football League from 1952 to 2005, winning one senior football premiership in 1961, with the help of former South Melbourne player, Jim Gull who kicked a record 159 goals for the Demons that season.

In 2006, Dayleford made the decision to move across to the Central Highlands Football League. [10] [11]

Daylesford's senior football side has had a successful run since joining the Central Highlands Football League, contesting six consecutive grand finals between 2007 and 2012, for three premiership wins in 2007, 2009 and 2012.
