Congratulations to Kim Lawson on reaching 100 Senior Games and in doing so ran out in the GRAND FINAL against Blackwood Green at Nairne on Sunday.
Kim is just the second member of our women’s team to reach this achievement, and what’s more, she hit the milestone in the big dance!
Kim has been one of our women’s team’s longest members, starting training with the Devs back in our 2016 season when we were yet to even hit double figures of squad members! In that year Kim even balanced playing netball for Heathfield with her first season of footy.
Kim quickly became both a reliable team member who would barely miss a training, as well as one of our most reliable defenders. Not much gets past Kim’s hands and she also has an elite kick to rebound out of D50. Despite some brief hiatus to go to the snow seasons in Canada, Kim has always remained loyal to the Devs so it’s no surprise she is one of the first to hit 100 games in the candy stripes.
Despite her long reign as a lockdown defender, Kim also showed her versatility through the 2024 season, spending some time up forward and getting some snags to show for it.
Kim is a valued on-field team member as well as off-field, often the first to put her hand up to volunteer when needed at the club. And you can always count on Kim to pump up and get around her team mates.
Kim was a member of our 2021 HFL Premiership and will be hoping to add another flag to her collection when we take on Blackwood in the Grand Final on Sunday!
Congratulations to Harry Morbey who ran out Saturday for his 50th A Grade match for the Devils at Echunga last Saturday.
One of the hardest working lads off the field with his work rate, Harry has also given everything back to the Club since joining the Senior ranks with helping out with juniors and Auskick. What a champ!
Harry made his way through juniors as a star key forward, playing multiple stints at Sturt, he has since found a new home in defence.
A Devil since under 8s, Harry has played in an astonishing 5 Premierships at the Devs, including the B2B U18 Premierships in 19/20 and 2022 B Grade Premiership. WOW! Gunning for him to add another to the tally this year that’s for sure
Congratulations on you 50 mate, always giving ‘em Hell out there
Still one big game out, it is with great excitement we can announce, Senior Womens Coach Ryan Skouborg WILL BE BACK with the Devils in season 2025
Skully has been such a welcomed addition to the candy stripe family! Whilst still fulfilling his SANFLW commitments, he has left no stone unturned to deliver everything to his own community club team, and the female program at the Devils.
Give ’em Hell with your Devs this Sunday mate, we will all be out there to back you 🔥
