5:15 PM — Junior Guard of Honour for A-Grade
5:25 PM — Junior Scratch Matches (mixed age groups)
5:30 PM onwards — Burger Bar open downstairs for junior families
The Lofty Legends Bar will be open downstairs and the new oval lights will be on until late so the kids can have fun on the oval.
The nights meal will consist of:
Burgers, Hot Chips, Sausages, Ice Creams
Please RSVP via Heja or to your Team Manager so we can make sure there are enough burgers for all.
The Heathfield Balcony is the place to be this weekend. Our U12 Mixed team opens the action Friday night, followed by a blockbuster Saturday as the men face Onkas at home.
On Sunday, our SANFL Juniors return to the field at ovals across the metro area, with our C Grade battling it out right here at Heathfield.
Let’s fill the boundary, lift the energy, and show every team what Mt Lofty spirit looks like. 
Shout out to this weeks Game Day Sponsor – Buiding Inspectors Adelaide
“At Mt Lofty we’re building a respectful, positive football environment for everyone.”
Mt Lofty Football Club would like to remind all players, coaches, officials and supporters of the SANFL Behaviour Management System (BMS).
This system is in place across all SANFL-affiliated competitions to promote a safe, respectful and positive environment for everyone involved in our game.
Under the BMS, behaviour at matches is monitored and recorded, with points allocated for any breaches. It is important to understand that this applies to all participants — including players, coaches, team officials and spectators — and that poor behaviour can result in penalties for both individuals and the club.
At Mt Lofty, we pride ourselves on being a strong, community-focused club, and we expect all members and supporters to uphold the values of respect, sportsmanship and accountability. In particular, respect for umpires and opposition is non-negotiable.
We ask everyone to play their part in creating a positive game day environment and setting the right example for our junior players.
“Your behaviour reflects on the club — all grades PLUS the club can be penalised.”
See below for the HFL sanctions for any breaches and new rules as of 2026.
If you have any questions please contact our president Greg Bond

SANFL New Rules HERE
As we head into the upcoming junior season, we’d like to take the opportunity to remind all players, parents, and coaches of the SANFL Junior Fair Play approach.
The focus of junior football is to provide a fun, safe and inclusive environment where all players can develop their skills and enjoy the game. While competition remains an important part of football, the priority at junior level is participation, learning and enjoyment.
Under the Fair Play guidelines, games may be actively managed to ensure they remain competitive and enjoyable for all participants. This may include adjustments such as rotating players, balancing teams, or other measures where required.
Coaches and officials are expected to support and implement these principles at all times. We also ask parents and spectators to support the spirit of Fair Play by encouraging all players, respecting umpires, and focusing on effort and improvement rather than results.
These guidelines are set by the SANFL and apply across all affiliated junior competitions. Our club is committed to upholding these standards and providing a positive experience for every player.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the club.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
