The Panthers were born in 1973, and spent their first quarter of a century competing in the Riddell District Football League. In 1994 they claimed a division one premiership that was arguably doubly satisfying in that it was achieved at the expense of local rivals Melton.
The 1997 season saw both Melton clubs debuting in the Ballarat Football League where both have since done well, although the Panthers have yet to break through for a flag. They did contest a grand final in 2001, but lost heavily to Melton. The reserves, however, have won a couple of premierships.
In 2007 Melton South qualified for the finals in fifth position but bowed out of the flag race at the first hurdle against Ballarat. This still represented a marked improvement over 2006 when the side finished second from last after managing just 3 wins and a draw from 18 matches.
