A huge Devils congratulations to Mark ‘Buckets’ Nielsen who will reach the fantastic milestone of 200 senior games for Mt Lofty Football Club this Saturday out at Mt Barker.
This extremely respected and loyal Devil played all of his junior football with the club and hit the senior ranks in 2006. Buckets then headed down the hill during 2010-12 playing in both the Sturt ressies and League teams before rejoining the Devils in 2013 having played here ever since.
He has come away with 5x Premierships here at the Devs: ’06 BGrade, ’07 AGrade, ’08 AGrade, ‘14d2 AGrade and ‘14d2 Senior Colts Premiership Coach. Having polled in the top five for many years in the B&F counts, Mark took out the top honour in 2016.
Mark has been given the nickname ‘Buckets’ as he is arguably one of the best aerialists and contested markers in the league, however his sporting abilities clearly are a standout playing AGrade Cricket for the Red Caps and having played League Volleyball too.
Recently married to Hayley, it has been an honour to watch Mark develop from a young, junior Devil into a wonderful adult who has become a mentor to much of our community.
Mark is a humble fella and champion bloke, a very talented sportsman, and an extremely valued Devil.
Head on out and support the Devs this week and help them get over the line. Boys at Mt Barker and plenty of Junior footy to get around and Mothers Day sees a league bye for our women.

Mt Lofty Districts Football Club supports the SA Government’s push to raise the profile of road safety in our community through the ‘Think about who you’ll leave behind‘ campaign.
We encourage all club members to be role models for improving road safety. Focus on reducing the Fatal Five:
Speeding
Not wearing a seatbelt
Driving distracted
Driving when fatigued
Using alcohol or drugs before driving
There are about 180 regional footy clubs around South Australia that attract approximately 15,000 senior players each year. Sadly, it’s these same players, their mates and their communities that are so often affected by road trauma.
