Premierships
After having merged only 3 years prior, Woodville-West Torrens managed to claim the Holy Grail of SANFL footy, The Thomas Seymour Hill Trophy, after a convincing 73 point victory over Norwood. It would, however, prove to be the Eagles only premiership success during 1994–2005 in which they lost 5 Grand Finals – 1994 to Port Adelaide and 2000, 2001, 2004 and 2005 all to Central District. After losing yet another Grand Final to their arch rivals in 2005, the Eagles bounced back and got their first premiership in 13 years, and after 6 attempts, with a thumping 76 point victory over the Bulldogs. Prior to the game, the Eagles Cheersquad printed the words "Patience + Perserverence = Reward" onto the teams pregame banner, acknowledging the team's misfortunes in the past (especially to the Bulldogs) and how they would once again lift the trophy.
In 2011, The Eagles became the only club in the millennia to defeat Central District in two grand finals, with a thrilling 3 point win - 81 to 78 on October 9, 2011. The Eagles went in as the underdogs but coach Michael Godden (in only his second year with the team and in a senior coaching position) believed his Eagles could over come the Dogs.
All state ruckman Craig Parry was named the Jack Oatey Medalist for Best on Ground for 2011.
Godden became the third coach to win a Premiership for Woodville-West Torrens, following Bruce Winter (1993) & Ron Fuller (2006) and the second on his first attempt (Winter 1993).
The Eagles became the first side to win the Premiership from a Qualifying Final loss since Sturt did so in 1976.
