Season 2022 presentations for our Moddies teams are happening this Sunday at the Club..
Award presentations will take place upstairs in the new changerooms, with the bar open throughout the day in the club rooms. Timing of presentations is:
See you there!
It’s Grand Final weekend for our U17 Girls who take on Hahndorf at 12pm on Sunday at Hanson Oval, Mt Barker. Our girls have been hit by injuries in recent weeks and are going into the game as underdogs. We need our Devils’ army at the match on Sunday cheering them on!
Our SANFL Juniors teams start their finals campaigns this weekend. Our U13 Girls take on Brighton at Henley Oval at 9am on Sunday, in an Elimination Final. They also need our support so get down there if you can. Our U15 Girls will enjoy a weekend off as they finished top – congratulations to the Minor Premiers!
Meanwhile it’s the last minor round for our HFL Boys/Mens teams, with most of our teams in finals contention:
It’s a must win game for our A Grade Men who take on ladder leader Hahndorf on Saturday (plus a few other matches need to go our way…). Can our boys pull off a mighty upset and book a finals spot?
Check out all the action in the fixture below.
GIVE ‘EM HELL DEVS!
To all Mt Lofty members and community,
I am writing to you today to advise you all that as of season end 2022 I will be standing down from my position of President of the Mount Lofty District Football Club.
This is my third year in the position and it is now time for me to step aside and let someone else take this club into next season and beyond.
I believe I leave the club in a great position, and thanks to the tireless work of many, both on committees and within our volunteer network, I believe the club has never been in a better position both on and off the field. That being said, there are still plenty of improvements to be made.
The club is now seeking interest from our community for the position of President for season 2023 and beyond.
This is a very important role at the club. The President ensures that operations at the club run responsibly and professionally, working closely with committees and volunteers, and is the main club ambassador and advocate.
If you are interested in having a chat about the President role and what it entails, please give me a confidential call on 0418 804 768 or email scott@trimad.com.au.
As part of our planning for 2023, we’re also looking for new people to join the junior and senior committees, which is a great way to be active within the club and pro-active about shaping its future directions. If you are interested in getting involved, please email us via comms@mtloftydevils.com.au.
Thank you for giving me the honour of being the President of such a great Hills’ club. It has been a massive and challenging undertaking, but one I will look back on with fond memories.
I particularly thank those closest to me for their support and I look forward to seeing what this club can do in the next few years.
All the best and thank you,
Scott Taylor
President
Mt Lofty Football Club

Another amazingly successful luncheon yesterday!
Thank you to everyone involved. Jason and Leith put on a great show for us all.
The day is all about fundraising for the club, and this year, whilst Covid played its part in keeping numbers down, it was one of the most successful years we have ever had! With 74 sponsors and local businesses donating prizes for our coveted silent auction, and generous supporters on the day, we had an awesome day out for the Club 
We are one step closer to our new digital scoreboard.
Thank you everyone!! See you next year.
The biggest accolade we can give at a community football club, especially one of our size, is a life membership. Each year a life member board work to nominate members, and their nominations come to the AGM to pass, and the award is presented at the next years Chairman’s Lunch.
We would like to present to you our newest life member inductee, Sue Johnson.
Sue’s association with the Mount Lofty Football Club started with brothers Grant and Tim Brooks who both played for Stirling Football Club.
Sue helped her Mother (Elizabeth) on the canteen at Stirling Oval, and this was the beginning of her canteen volunteer experience!
With the merger with Heathfield Aldgate United to become Mt Lofty, I used to help out behind the bar back in the days when there were kegs and beer taps!
She met a newcomer to the area, a young Tony Johnson and signed him up to play for Devils
Sons Tom and Ben started playing in the late 90’s. With the assistance of many other parents, we enjoyed helping on the BBQ at Stirling Oval.
Tony started coaching the U13’s in 2006, and Sue helped in the canteen and eventually taking over running the canteen from Carol Graham, in 2009 for a further 6 years.
The scouring of catalogues for weekly specials of Cans of Coke, Powerade and chocolates were all part of the fun.
Numerous visits to Campbells Cash ‘n Carry for Sour straps, Giant Snakes, Hubba Bubba and Chuppa Chups!!
The Canteen became popular for it’s delicious but not so healthy food – including Tony’s popular toasted Hot dogs- verified by Sarah Bennet!
Working alongside The Hone family, the Stewarts and Zampa’s in the BBQ and kitchen we had so many wonderful members and their families volunteering.
Apart from fun, the canteen was the best view of the Footy on a cold wet day!
Sue spent many cold days armed with the Sony Camcorder videoing the games from junior colts to A Grade.
Ladies Day events were put together with a group of wonderful girls including Sally Arnoul, Julie Stenklev, Sarah Carthew, Gill May and Mary Read.
Over the years these successful luncheons, which involved themed lunches like “A touch of Bollywood” Indian food, Spanish tapas and Paella , followed by the fashion parade with models like Pam Broadbridge and some of the ‘B Grade’ boys strutting their stuff on the catwalk. The Silent Auction held on the day raised valuable funds for the club.
Sue also assisted Ian and Mary Deans, with the Chairman’s Lunch by organising the donations and running the Silent Auctions on the day.
Sue was approached by Buzz Gray to take over the running of The ‘100 club. It was always a challenge to sell the 100 tickets.
Marlon Coates came on board and with his help transformed the very manual process to a more automated operation.
The past two years Rob Sampson and Megan Billerwell have made the promotion and sale of tickets through ‘square and online payment system much more efficient and easier to manage.
Sue was awarded the Frank Clements Senior Club Person Award.
During her time at the Club, Sue served for four years as a committee member for the Football Club Committee.
Amazing work Sue, and congratulations on your achievements.
