The Yarram Football Club celebrated its 130th year in operation in 2017 having formed in 1887. This proud club is an original member of the Alberton Football League, which changed from the Alberton Football Association in 1946.The Yarram Football Netball Club moved to the North Gippsland Football Netball League in 2014.
The club tasted early success in 1936, winning the Gippsland League title under coach Jack Lynch, who transferred from VFL side North Melbourne to coach the club.
The club again tasted success in 1954, beating Fish Creek by 2 points to claim the premiership. This result was reversed in 1958 and 1959 when Fish Creek beat Yarram on both occasions.
The 1960's didn't yield much success on the field for the Demons however this changed in the 70's with the club winning the ultimate prize in 1972 and 1977 and runner up premiers in 1974 and 1976. It would be 10 years until Yarram again made a grand final, winning in 1986.
1987 saw the club celebrate its centenery year with a huge family weekend and reunion attended by many past players, officials and supporters.
The 90's were a bleak period in terms of success for the Demons with the club rebuilding itself on the field with many young sides. A junior development program instigated in the mid 90's seen the club form a successful array of junior sides. The under 15 side won the premiership in 1999, and the under 18 side went on some years later to win back to back premierships in 2002 and 2003, just missing the 3-peat by 1 point in 2004.
The junior development program would ensure the ongoing success of the club and prove to be fruitful in years to come. The mid 2000's seen the senior side start to evolve and play finals in 2005, runner up in 2006 and premiers after a 21 year drought in 2007, coached by returning junior footballer Ryan Underwood.
The club was again runner up in 2008 and has in the years since been focussed on developing the young and upcoming list to have another tilt at the premiership.
In 2018 the Demons produced a superb campaign which entailed just a single loss in 20 outings culminating in an 8.17 (65) to 5.3 (33) grand final defeat of Churchill.
