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.

A huge congratulations to Cooper Borneman and Charlie Morbey, who made their A Grade debuts this week against Nairne. Both young men stepped up with confidence, composure, and a real team-first attitude. A fantastic achievement and a sign of big things ahead.
Well done boys.

SENIOR WOMEN
Sunday against Onkas, we were proud to welcome three players making their senior debut – all homegrown talent from our incredible Mt Lofty juniors program.
Zoe McArthur, Imogen Byrne and Kirrilly Borneman each stepped up, played their roles, and embraced every moment out on the field. For their first senior game, they showed outstanding composure and maturity – you’d think they’d been playing at this level for years!

“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
