The Mt Lofty Devils would like to send out a huge congratulations to Mt Lofty past player, Zoe Prowse, who tonight was picked up in the ALFW draft at pick 17 for her home club – the Crows.
Zoe escalated her football career as a junior footballer playing at senior level playing in Division 2 in the Adelaide football League for Mt Lofty Football Club in 2019, making the ADFL team of the year that year. Since then, Zoe has been playing for Sturt FC, State footy and development squad football, before being drafted tonight.
This year we were sad to lose Zoe and her sister to play with her school friends after SANFL football ended, to play in the HFL season with Onkas. However during our recent match out at Balhannah, it was a lot of fun trying to match her in the ruck and it was great to have a few laughs afterwards with Zoe and her sister Arabella.
We are so excited to see our first ever female player to have come from the Devils made their way into the AFLW. We congratulate Zoe and wish her all the best going forward! Give ’em Hell Zo!
From our records, Zoe will make the just fourth footballer to have to have come from either Mt Lofty Devils or our Heritage Clubs to play in the VFL/AFL.
If you think you know of others please get in contact with us.

Congratulations again Zoe on becoming our first female to have started at the Devils to join these amazing blokes in being drafted.
