The Demons have endured a hard time lately. Indeed, between 2000 and 2005 the club actually went into recess, but since resuming its performances have been encouraging.
The Ross Football Club dates back well over a century. The club was particularly strong during the 1940s, '50s and '60s when it was a member of the Midlands Football Association. Ross won the very first premiership in this competition in 1946 when it accounted for Tunnack in the grand final by the narrowest of margins. The MFA existed between 1946 and 1971, during which time Ross contested no fewer than seventeen grand finals for nine wins, making it the competition's most successful club.
In 1980 the Demons commenced their involvement in the Oatlands District Football Association where their only senior flag to date was procured in 1985 at the expense of Mt Pleasant. They finished as runners-up in 1983, 1991 and 1998.
