What such lovely words shared by Loch’s mum Kerrie -our past moddies coordinator.
We could not be more excited for Loch having being picked as the # 1 Rookie Draft Pick by West Coast Eagles.
After participating in Auskick, moddies and juniors through to U13s at MLDFC, Loch made his way to Mitcham FC and Sturt Football Club before his # 1 Rookie Draft Pick.
We cannot wait to see what is ahead of you mate. Keep on giving ‘em Hell 🔥
“The Mt Lofty FC is where Loch found his love and passion for football. From day one when he joined the Auskick Program at the age of 4, he was hooked! He has been playing ever since. 😊
Loch played all his moddies football at The Devils. This is where he developed his skills and made great friends, as did our family.”

Congratulations to all of our Junior award winners for season 2023!
Our junior teams are all gifted a highly prestigious Lofty Legends Award donated by the Lofty Legends Group.
LOFTY LEGEND AWARD | The Lofty Legends Group Team Award is a prestigious recognition aimed at supporting the culture of the club within the “One Club – All In” approach. Donated by the ‘Lofty Legends Group’ who continue to do an enormous amount of work around the club, including maintaining the premiership boards, organising reunion days, oval preparation during off season, and every week, tidying up the arena, blower vaccing, preparing the fire pit as a very brief example. They make the money for their group and these trophies by things like collecting cans from every home game and taking them to Scouts collection. It is presented to a player who, like the LLG, is dedicated to the team and the club and is heavily committed to their own improvement and that of the team and the club. They are also persistent and determined and treat everybody with respect, while respecting all aspects of the club. It is selected by each team’s coaching panel and is donated by the Lofty Legends Group, which maintains the contact of former players, coaches, volunteers and supporters with the club, while supporting the club in various ways including maintenance and any other tasks required.

A massive congratulations to Phoebe Neck who has been awarded the League Best & Fairest award for the HFL U17 Girls competition with 28 votes (over 14 rounds), after she and her teammates took out the Premiership this season. A huge achievement!
Whilst Phoebe was unfortunately absent with a school camp for the awards night, her father Simon and sister Lyla joined in the evening with her teammates as her representative, and have accepted her award on her behalf.
The taste buds are tingling already! Cheese burgers and slow cooked pulled burgers are on the menu at the footy this Saturday, thanks to Major Sponsor BMD.
Taking over the BBQ at our home game 17 June Mt Lofty v Echunga, the volunteers from BMD will be preparing and cooking burgers for us to enjoy. What a treat. With a limited menu on the day, be ready to get one of the burgers in your hands, and look out for a sneaky pulled pork sub-in to the Devros Packs on the day too..
Be sure to say thanks for the support to our amazing sponsors when you see them.
