Shepparton East

Shepparton East has an impressive post-war record of procuring premierships, highlighted by a competition record four in a row in the Kyabram District Football League between 1958 and 1961. Since the war, the club has amassed flags at the rate of at least one per decade.

After commencing in the Picola and District Football League in 2006 the Eagles captured the premiership on debut while three years later they again made the grand final but went down by 39 points to Tungamah. The 2009 season had seen the PDFL split into north-west and south-east sections, with Shepparton East lining up in the latter. To date, they have won three premierships in this competition with the most recent of these, in 2016, being claimed unbeaten. The 2017 season brought a marginal decline as the Eagles' bid for another premiership was halted at the preliminary final stage by Rennie before a somewhat disappointing 2018 campaign yielded just 6 wins from 18 matches and saw the side slump to tenth place on the fifteen team ladder.
