The Demons struggled for many years, at senior level at any rate, following their formation in 1978, which came about when local Mid Murray Football League rivals Nyah and Nyah West elected to merge.
In total contrast to the seniors, Nyah-Nyah West's other grades were consistently there or thereabouts during the club's time in the MMFL, which ended when that competition merged with the Northern and Echuca Football League prior to the 1997 season. By that time, the Demons' reserves had both claimed four flags.
Initially, the seniors continued to find life tough in the CMFL, but the 2000 season brought a sudden and dramatic turnaround in fortunes. That year's grand final saw the Demons overcome Cohuna Kangas by 33 points, 13.15 (93) to 9.6 (60). Twelve months later they went back to back courtesy of a 22 point grand final win over Tyntynder.
Recent seasons have produced mixed fortunes, from the 'high' of finals qualification in 2004 to the nadir of a wooden spoon two years later.
