Joel Wilson is back at Mt Lofty in 2026 💪. In 2025, he proved himself as a powerful, ball winning midfielder who brings physicality to every contest. His knack for pushing forward and hitting the scoreboard makes him a constant threat inside 50. Whether winning the tough ball in the middle or creating chances up forward, Joel is a vital part of our plans for 2026.

As Devils, we not just to celebrate excellence on the field, but to honour the heart and soul behind the scenes, the people who make our club what it truly is. This year, we are incredibly proud to present the 2025 Frank Clements Club Person of the Year award to someone who embodies dedication, humility, and quiet leadership. The award this year presented on Senior Presentation Night by by Jodie Catt – Granddaughter of Frank Clements.
After years of playing at the penultimate level, Brad Burch stepped back to B Grade this year, and to give more time to family, resulting in the ultimate reward in another Premiership for Bradley Burch.
He took on a mentoring role with our B Grade and many junior teams, across both the men’s and women’s sides, offering guidance, sharing knowledge, and leading by example. And when he’s not mentoring, he’s volunteering, off the clock, without fanfare, and always with the club’s best interests at heart.
Brad has also been instrumental in maintaining the heartbeat of our game, our beautiful Heathfield Oval. Alongside the grounds team, he’s put in countless hours of his own time to ensure that our playing surface is the best it’s ever been. If you’ve admired the deck this season, you’ve seen Brad’s work in action.
When voting opened for this year’s award, the result was as clear as the grass is green. It was unanimous. Because when someone gives this much of themselves, not for accolades, but for the love of the game and the people in it, it doesn’t go unnoticed.
We congratulate a true clubman, a mentor, a tireless volunteer, and a deserving recipient of the 2025 Frank Clements We congratulate a true clubman, a mentor, a tireless volunteer, and a deserving recipient of the 2025 Frank Clements Club Person of the Year, Brad Burch!

We are very excited to announce:
Melissa Nelson as the Junior Club Person of the year.
From being a team manager for our Under 14 Girls team with professionalism and heart, to always stepping in to help wherever needed on any given day, whether it be in the canteen, coordinating volunteers, or lending a hand regardless of whether her own children were playing Missy has been an incredible asset to our club.
Assisting and enjoying the role of banner making for Under 16 Boys and Under 14 Girls, and was a key part of the team’s men’s Thursday night dinners, BBQs, and even preparing coaching gifts. Her willingness to support across multiple age groups shows the depth of her commitment.
But her efforts didn’t stop there. On Grand Final Day, she was a driving force volunteering all day and playing a significant role in making it one of the most successful and memorable events our club has seen.
We thank the incredible Missy, a true club champion whose spirit of generosity and dedication embodies everything we value in our community.
