Few clubs can have had as peripatetic an existence as Eudunda. Between 1910 and 1993 the club competed in no fewer than half a dozen different competitions. One wonders whether all this moving about undermined the club’s effectiveness as its tally of senior grade premierships - thirteen - whilst respectable, is perhaps not as substantial as might be expected. In addition to the thirteen flags the Roosters have been losing grand finalists a total of eleven times.

Since 1993 Eudunda has been a member of the North Eastern football league, and apart from losing grand final against North Clare in 1994 the club has struggled. This has seldom been better exemplified than during a dire 2008 season which produced no wins whatsoever, and with it an inevitable wooden spoon. There was marginal improvement a year later as the Roosters' tally of 2 wins for the season was good enough for seventh place on the eight team ladder.
