Come and cheer on these young Devs!
There have been some rule changes for our moddies (U8-U11). The HFL have embraced the AFL recommendations for modified footy (introduced in 2014) and highlights include:
This video shows modified tackling and it also describes the rationale behind introducing the more physical side of footy in a way that allows for the development of the foundation skills by new players to the game.
Full rules are on our website: Resources > Rules > HFL. So why not learn them before you say “F…” at the umpires from the sidelines! And instead of saying ‘F…’, think about saying ‘Fair enough’ to support our umpires.
In 2021, all teams (HFL and SANFL) are using the last touch rule.
The interpretation of the rule is as follows:
The rule is being introduced for the following reasons:

Give ’em Hell Devils 👹
This week the Senior Colts Iron Raiders vs Mt Lofty match will see the return of the Michelle Turner Trophy.
Michelle was a dedicated volunteer to both Mt Lofty FC and Ironbank Cherry. Gardens over many years and was much-loved member of our football community. Outside of football, Prof. Michelle Lane was an extremely accomplished and respected leader in her field and research community, through both Repromed and the University of Adelaide.
The much-loved wife of Glen Turner, who has also had a deep association with both clubs, and beloved mother of Jack and Will, both long term Devil’s players. Michelle was a passionate and beautiful human who is sorely missed from many communities.
A wonderful tradition to start in her honour last year.
