After being kept from playing our much loved footy for two weeks, we were so excited to be back out on the park, being able to both play and watch the best sport in the world.
We just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to each and every person that helped make that possible, and those that were a part of our footy this weekend, both home and away. An extra special mention to the fact that everyone did their best to keep within the current Covid-19 restrictions.
From the players, coaches, staff, volunteers, supporters and everything in between. Thank you very much also to Hahndorf Football Club for being so supportive in helping follow the Covid-19 restrictions on Saturday for our home game. It was a great first day back after lockdown!

Congratulations to this champion of the club, with past Premierships under his belt, an inspirational footballer, and an amazing mentor to our incoming players this year. We are very excited to be able to watch Mark “Buckets” Nielsen play his 200th A Grade game for the Devils this Saturday at Arkaba Oval against Hahndorf.
Having played almost all of his football for the Candy Stripes since he was just a wee tacker, Buckets really does bleed the red & white. His only stint away from the club was a few seasons down the hill playing for the Doublas at Sturt, before returning home in 2013. Since then, Buckets has dominated the backlines with his more than sound football knowledge and, arguably, the safest hands in the league.
Watching Buckets develop from a young Devil into the outstanding footballer and mentor that he is, it’s has been an absolute pleasure and honour. We are really looking forward to this weekends match and seeing what it will deliver.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN MARK! Give ’em Hell mate!

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.
Robbert Klomp – A Senior Colts Mail Medalist for HAU, a 2x Sturt Premiership Player and 2x Carlton VFL Premiership Player in ’79 & ’80
David Welsby – A past VFL player for Geelong from 1990 and junior player of Mt Lofty
Troy Broadbridge – A past AFL player for Melbourne from 2002
Congratulations again Zoe on becoming our first female to have started at the Devils to join these amazing blokes in being drafted.
