Warrandyte’s first senior grade Eastern Districts Football League flag was won in Division Two in 1966. Opposed in the grand final by Surrey Hills the Bloods won a low scoring encounter with some comfort by 21 points, 9.6 (60) to 6.3 (39). In some ways this might be seen as the high point in Warrandyte’s history as it remains the highest grade premiership to have been won by the club. There have nevertheless been other triumphs - three flags in Division Three and two in Division Four - and many noteworthy performances, including no fewer than a dozen 300 point-plus scores. The Bloods have also finished runners-up on three occasions.
