The Devs are very pleased to welcome 23 year old key position player Liam Fitzgerald.
Liam is from the powerful BSR (Brinkworth Spalding Red Hill) Football Club in the North Eastern Football League.
After a number of successful senior and junior seasons at BSR, Liam, who is 190cm and 85kgs, has transferred to the Devs and is looking great on the track playing in key forward and key back roles during match sim.
Weโre really looking forward to seeing Liam pull on the red and white this season.

The Devils senior Men working with Roger Rasheed on the first stage of their 2022 Team Trademark.
WOW! What a day to kickstart season 2022 for the Devils!
Thank you to all of you that came out to register, get your merch and just have a fun day with your mates at Arkaba Oval today. It was fantastic to see all of our little Devs getting together with their mates, and getting to mingle with the big Devs for a kick and catch and a few games on the newly dressed oval. A few snags and icy poles for all, and everyone had a great day out.
A big thanks to major sponsor BMD for volunteering our BBQ cookers for the day and keeping out bellies all full after all the running around. This is not the first year BMD have supplied volunteers for the day, a support service above and beyond and we truely thank them for their dedication to our beloved club.
A big thanks goes out to Sports Centre for joining us on the day so our Devs were able to try on, purchase AND have their names printed on merchandise. If you were not able to make it on the day, merch is still available HERE
Don’t forget YOU CAN STILL REGISTER on the links. Get in before Feb 28th to avoid late rego status.
Finally thank you to all of the volunteers for your time in making today possible, from the eternally dedicated, to the parents and players (young and old) that helped out with everything. Our amazing club would not be such a warming, welcoming, inclusive environment without your dedicated support.
See you soon Devs fans ๐น
It’s great to see some teams have started their pre-season training.
In order to keep the momentum of training going, the following directives from the HFL are designed to minimise the risk of “close contact” between players, coaches and other volunteers, so that we can try and reduce the impact of teams being unable to train and play during the season.
MASKS
Masks are not required to be worn during football training and matches, however social distancing guidelines from SA Health still need to be followed.
A mask is COMPULSORY when players, coaches and other club volunteers are indoors – this is not just limited to meetings within the club room facilities, it also includes instances where players are inside change room facilities either before, during or after training sessions.
Players should not be encouraged to use the change rooms unless essential and meetings should take place outdoors wherever possible. Any activity inside any of the Club facilities requires that masks be worn at all times as per the current SA Health directives.
CLOSE CONTACTS
The SAPOL COVID-19 Coordination Group has provided clarification around the application of the close contact guidelines.
For a person to be considered to have close personal interaction it must include all of the following conditions:
๐ป๐๐ 15 ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Where a positive COVID-19 case is confirmed to have participated in a training or match activity, each individual and/or parent/guardian needs to make their own assessment as to whether they (or their child) meets ALL of the above criteria.
There needs to be an element of common sense when assessing the above and we respect the decisions made by parents in relation to their children’s participation.
Any individual that is considered to be a close contact or is displaying any symptoms of COVID-19 should follow the directions regarding isolation and quarantine requirements, as published by SA Health and SAPOL.
Please be aware that the guidelines around ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ are SA Dept of Education guidelines and do not apply to external/club sport activities.
The HFL Board will continue to provide updated information as we will share this as we receive it.
We look forward to working together to ensure that the impact of COVID-19 on the 2022 season is kept to a minimum and as restrictions continue to ease we will provide clubs with updates and guidance.
Should you wish to discuss any of these matters, please feel free to contact myself of the club Secretary
On behalf of the Mt Lofty District Football Club
