Founded in 1877, the Bulldogs are a proud club.
After many years of playing in several leagues ranging from the Clunes Football league to the Castlemaine Football League, Daylesford joined, for the second time, the Ballarat Football League in 1952. Over this period, the Demons, as Daylesford were formerly known, managed to win only one Senior premiership, which was under the legendary goal kicking machine Jim Gull in 1961.
Over 40 years the club was in various positions, including wooden-spooners to preliminary finalists, but were never able to rekindle that premiership glory. After over a decade of struggling to compete with its much larger opponents in the Ballarat Football League, Daylesford made the switch to the Central Highlands Football League in 2006 and became the mighty Bulldogs. We have not looked back.
The Bulldogs have played in multiple finals series since entering the CHFL, winning premierships in 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2024.
