We are very excited to introduce Peter to the committee as Chairman for season 2024. Peter joined the MLDFC committee during last week’s AGM proceedings and was nominated as Chairman for the upcoming 2024 season.
Peter, and his wife Mette, have been involved with the club and community for the past 15 years, having 3 children that have worn, (and continue to wear!), the devilish red and white.
Acknowledging and respecting the wonderful and rich history of the club, via his involvement with the club committee, Peter now looks forward to continuing with the fantastic work the committee and members have already tirelessly carried out and to meet with the club and Hills community over the upcoming season. If you see him about please do come up and say “Hello”.
After a teary goodbye at our AGM, Rob has stepped down as Chairman of 2023 after serving so many years volunteer service to our community club.
On top of the pseudo-President role as Chairman, Rob in his years has introduced new merch, our life member coins, digital locks, digital member cards, online point of sale, and taken on CSC representative, AHC liaison, major works coordinator and that’s only in the last few years! There have been many other major roles in his previous tenures such as registrations and junior director just to name a few, all of which we cannot be more thankful of.
His love and dedication to our club is predicated around playing for his beloved Devils as a junior and senior, for which is was known in his day as ‘Rambo’.
Thanks for your dedication to the Devils Rambo. Enjoy your football retirement with Lou and the family, and more so watching the Devs from the sideline.
Awesome turn out for the women’s and junior female Come’n’Try day at the Devils on Friday 🔥 Don’t forget it’s never too late to join our program, we have an option for everyone! Preseason starting in 2 weeks 💪
We have something for all the girls! Aside from the above, we have our Auskick (from 5yo) and modified rules (from 8yo) programs that cater for both boys and girls. Plus HFL caters for U12 & U14 in the mixed comp. Reach out anytime to discuss your options as a female at the Devils.
Thanks to Skully, Ash and the Junior Coaches for the event, and of course Jill and Nikki for cooking the sausage sizzle 😋 and of course, Jenny Greenow for organising the food yet again!
We are very excited to announce we have locked in all of our junior and senior for 2024. WOWZERS what a line-up of leaders we have.
FOOTBALL DIRECTOR | DAVID SHERMAN With a record of 200+ senior playing games, coaching and assistant roles that includes multiple GF and finals appearances plus team manager roles, Dave Sherman’s values and ethos perfectly mirror MLDFC, and we are excited to have Dave join the Devils as our Football Director for 2024.
A GRADE | HFL | MICHAEL BAWDEN Not only helping bring a 13 year finals drought to an end in 2023, Bawds also lead our A Grade to a Semi Final, and is back for 2024!

B GRADE | HFL | DAVE GILES Committing again for season 2024, and having made finals this year, Dave and the boys are thirsty to advance next year.
SENIOR COLTS | HFL | SHAUN GOULD Welcome back to the Devils, past Premiership coach Shaun Gould. Having played for and coached senior teams, Shaun’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge will lift the boys to a new level.
U17 GIRLS | HFL | ALLANI DAWES As we welcome Allani Dawes into her new role as coach, we can’t wait to see what she’ll bring to this exciting young Premiership team. A lifelong Devil, and Premiership player with SANFLW experience, who has already taken on a mentoring role, Allani has proven to be an invaluable part of the club.

U13 GIRLS | SANFLJ | DYLAN FABER Following his coaching role in U11 girls, Dylan Faber will guide the U13 Girls on their journey for season 2024. After “the funnest season ever” in U11s and a finals berth in U13s, we are sure this is a match made in heaven!
U12 | HFL | LIONEL KERR Lionel ‘Bulldog’ Kerr, following his stellar performances as true grit Devil in his day, has been coaching through the moddies program, and will progress through the U12s in 2024. We have no doubt his stellar background and skills will help bring his team to the next level.
U11 GIRLS | SANFLJ | DARREN TIDSWELL With a football background, and having had a connection with Dyl throughout 2023, Darren Tidswell will step up into the head coaching role for season 2024. His passion and dedication are second to none, which of as we know, is what our littlest juniors love and require. We cannot wait to see what Darren and his team have in store for 2024.
