They were a founding member of the Scoresby DFA in 1925 and won the last two premierships in 1929 and 1930. In 1931 they joined the Federal FL and were premiers in 1932. They left at the end of the 1937 season.
In 1940 the club appeared in the East Suburban FL and played in the "East Section" and then in "B" grade until winning the 1954 as premiers and champions. Promoted to "A" grade in 1955, they return to "B" Grade in 1956 before regaining a place in "A" Grade in 1959. In 1960 they won the "A" grade flag.
East Burwood then joined the Eastern Districts Football League in 1961 where it stayed.
