The club has an excellent record of qualifying for the finals, but has not had much luck in converting finals appearances into premierships. Indeed, the Devils had already contested four grand finals without success by the time they broke through for their first, and so far only, senior flag in 1995, thrashing Werribee Centrals in both the 2nd semi final, by 60 points, and grand final, by 87 points, to do so. In recent years Corio has gone extremely close to adding a second senior premiership, losing the 2004 grand final against Werribee Centrals in a replay, and also reaching the 2005 grand final, which was lost to Thomson. The Devils have a good record of success in other grades. The reserves went top six times in succession in the early 1980s, and won their eighth flag in total in 2008, while the under eighteens won premierships in 1986 and 1995. Where now? or
