by Robyn Naughton | Aug 12, 2026 | Event, General, Juniors, Moddies

The Mt Lofty Devils Football Club is thrilled to invite all players, families and supporters to join us as we celebrate another fantastic season of football!

Presentation Day will be held on Saturday 22 August, coinciding with the final home game as our Senior Men take on Lobethal. It promises to be a fun-filled afternoon of football, team presentations, celebrations and scratch matches as we come together to recognise the achievements of our players and teams throughout the 2026 season.

Team presentations will run from 1:30pm to 4:30pm, with your team’s presentation time to be confirmed shortly.

Presentation & Scratch Match Schedule

🏆 U8s
Presentations will take place before taking centre stage in a scratch match during the A Grade half-time break.

🏆 U9s to U12s
Presentations will be held throughout the A Grade match.

Players will then hit the field for mixed scratch matches following the A Grade game, starting at approximately 4:45pm.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our Friday Night Football players and families to get behind our senior teams, while celebrating the dedication, teamwork and commitment that have made the 2026 season such a success. It’s the perfect way to finish the year together as one club!

🍔 The Burger Bar will be firing up after the scratch matches, and full bar facilities will be available throughout the afternoon, making it a great chance to relax, celebrate and enjoy the Club atmosphere.

🌟Guernsey Return 🌟
Please remember that all playing guernseys must be returned to your Team Manager on Presentation Day.

Club guernseys remain the property of the Mt Lofty Devils Football Club and will be reused next season. Any guernseys not returned will incur a replacement charge, as the club will need to purchase a new one.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you all and finish the season in true Devils style. See you at the Club for what promises to be a fantastic day of football, fun and celebrations! 🔴⚪👹

NATIONAL AWARD | JEFF PISTOLA

by Robyn Naughton | Aug 11, 2026 | Feature, General, Lofty Legends Group

It is with great honour we share Mt Lofty Life Member Jeff Pistola has won the 2026 AFL National Community Football Media Award.

Jeff’s commitments to our club(s) spanned over 37 years including being involved in multiple Premierships plus a rare achievement which was to have coached Mt Lofty at every level from Under 10’s through to A Grade (the only available teams at the time) after which he looked to focussing on building a media team focussing purely on Hills football. This has grown into the CALL OF THE WILD team now know today and I think we all agree is 2nd to none!

The understanding, knowledge of the game and players, along with your passion to bring this to our community is something to be admired.

Congratulations again to Jeff ‘Pistols’ Pistola on this massive award, well deserved mate!

🔴⚪ The Weekend Ahead ⚪🔴

by Robyn Naughton | Aug 11, 2026 | General

The business end of the season is here, and there’s plenty on the line for our Red and White this weekend!

We kick things off on Friday night when our U12s take on Onkaparinga at Heathfield, with the first bounce at 7.00pm under lights.

On Saturday, it’s a club-wide road trip to Nairne, with our teams from U14s through to A Grade facing a crucial round as they fight to keep their finals hopes alive. Every game matters, and we need our supporters out in force, proudly wearing the red and white, to help drive our teams over the line.

Our girls’ program also has a huge weekend ahead.

On Sunday, our Women continue their quest for end-of-season glory when they take on the Hahndorf Magpies in the Preliminary Final at Balhannah, with the game starting at 1.30pm. Let’s get a big crowd there to support the girls as they chase a place in the Grand Final.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Brighton hosts our U12 Girls Red, while at Heathfield we have a big day of junior and senior football with U12 Girls White taking on North Haven, U14 Girls facing Plympton, and the Super C’s meeting Lobethal.

A special congratulations also goes to our U17 Girls, who secured their place in the Grand Final after a terrific victory over Mount Barker last Sunday. The girls have earned a well-deserved week off before the biggest game of the season.💪🔥

Let’s get around every team this weekend. See you on the sidelines, and let’s paint the hills Red and White! 🔴⚪
