The Devils are very excited to be back out playing footy this weekend and after all of the changing of restrictions over the last few weeks, we are also very excited to be able to have everybody back out to watch us doing it from Friday night.
Please remember a few things when you head to either Arkaba Oval, or any other oval to cheer us on:
Sports clubs will be able to resume competition and sport events can go ahead up to 1000 people
People must wear masks
Seated consumption for food and drinks – both indoor and outdoor
Remember to sign in on entry with the QR code check in or sign in sheet
The Round 11 and Round 12 games that were missed will now be played after Round 14 on the weekend of Friday 20th – Sunday 22nd August (Round 11) and Friday 27th – Sunday 29th August (Round 12).
SANFL Juniors Finals will be played the weekends of 5 September, 12 September and 19 September.
Please talk to your coaches/team managers if you have any questions about your fixtures.
Coming out of lockdown, we are going FULL STEAM AHEAD with our annual event the Chairman’s Lunch.
With the current restrictions, we are close to our numbers.. With the hopeful and anticipated lifting of restrictions back to 50% capacity, we will get back to near last years numbers. This will mean first in, best dressed.
What we do promise is if anything goes pear shaped, we will return all money paid to the club.
So, to be a part of the action, get your tickets now so you don’t risk missing out!

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.
