Since February, your Grand Final Committee has been hard at work bringing together the biggest event on the football calendar – the 2025 HFL Grand Final on Saturday 20 September.
Now, as we reach the final stages of planning, we need your help to make the day a success. We’re calling for volunteers to assist on Grand Final day. There’s every chance we’ll see Lofty teams on the field, so rosters have been designed around when teams are likely to play.
That said, please don’t feel locked into specific times – encourage players, parents and supporters to sign up wherever it best fits.
Why volunteer?
We’ve got an incredible day planned, including half-time and post-game entertainment, so it promises to be a memorable celebration of football and community.
Please click on the roster link above and add your name, and share the link with your networks to help us fill the time slots. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
We are seeking between 28 and 36 people across key timeslots! With over 500 players in the club, it should be easy to fill those spots fast!
Let’s make this Grand Final not only a great day on the field, but a shining moment for the Mount Lofty community.
Congratulations to our U17 Girls who have taken out the 2025 Premiership for the 3rd year in a row.
This year under Coach Adrian Braddock and Team Manager Kate Wall, the girls had a great season, with some learning games, and finished minor premiers, and now have taken out the big one! Congrats team đź’Şđź’Ą

Mt Lofty District Football Club would like to thank Daryl Hampton, who did us the honour of tossing the commemorative Life Member coin for our match against Narine on Saturday 23 August 2025, joined by his sons Daniel and Matt with wife Colleen watching from the stands.
Daryl was made a Mt Lofty District Football Club Life Member in 1992 and continues to be a loyal supporter of the Devils and who still volunteers to assist in maintenance of the complex.
The Hampton brothers (Geoff, Ian “Doug”, Daryl and Phillip) have an outstanding record of Premierships and individual awards and Daryl was a very significant part of that. Commencing at age 8 he was a part of the very successful Heathfield Aldgate United era at Junior and Senior levels, before going on to play in 3 Mt Lofty A Grade Premierships.
Junior football saw him win the 1968 HFL Under 13’s Best and Fairest (Mail Medal equivalent) and represent the State Schoolboys in 1970.
As a senior player, Daryl was strong, skilled and as a former teammate reports a “little cheeky on field”. Throughout his career with him eventually retiring in 1991 at the age of 36. Over his full career he played in a total of 15 Grand Finals, becoming a member of 13 Premierships which included 5 A Grade Premierships with United and 3 Mt Lofty A Grade flags including the first A Grade for the club in 1991.
While his decorated career ended in 1991 he then became a very hard-working volunteer in coaching and committee positions before stepping back but continuing to do many maintenance activities. He coached the U13’s United Premiership and Captain-Coached the A Grade in the second half of the 1989 season. Further significant contributions came as Chairman 1996 and 1997 and President in 1998.
Thank you sincerely on behalf of everybody at Mt Lofty for all you have done and for your continued support for our club.
