When Foster was a foundation member in 1946 of the Alberton Football League the club had already been in existence for in excess of half a century. It quickly established itself in the new competition, winning a premiership in its debut season, and finishing runner-up in its second. After that, however, it endured three decades of mediocre performances during which a handful of preliminary final appearances where the closest it came to procuring another flag.
The Tigers re-emerged as a force during the late 1970s, and in the seven seasons between 1978 and 1984 they contested every grand final except one, for wins in 1978, 1980, 1982 and 1984. The late 1980s and early 1990s produced a similar sequence of grand final appearances (five in a row on this occasions) for a 2-3 record overall. Foster's last senior premiership to date was claimed in 1993 at the expense of Won Wron Woodside.
The Tigers have tended to struggle in recent seasons, although they did manage to qualify for the finals in 2006 when they finished 4th. The 2007 season produced a disappointing 6-11-1 record which consigned them to 12th place on the 14 team ladder.
