[11] After struggling against the Sub-Districts' strongest clubs, Canterbury left to be part of the formation of the Eastern Suburban Football League (ESFL) in 1932.

[12] The club made the inaugural ESFL grand final, but were defeated by South Camberwell by four points.

[13] It was proposed that the Cobras would merge with Balwyn, but players were against the idea, and the SESFL ultimately gave Canterbury time to improve their situation by relegating them to Division 2.

[13] After finishing the 2013 season without a single win, Canterbury moved to the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) in 2014.

[17] In 2024, the club won its second VAFA senior premiership after defeating St John's by 29 points in the Division 3 grand final.
