After that competition folded after the 1953 season the club moved to the Metropolitan Football League.

In 1996, in partnership with the Darebin City Council, the club embarked on a major redevelopment of the ground, which included extending the club rooms and the viewing area, as well as constructing new change rooms and a gymnasium.

With a revamped facility at the premier venue in Northcote, the Cougars started to dominate the DVFL, winning Division One premierships in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2012.
