07.01.2022 South Melbourne District Football Club expresses its deepest condolences to the family of Barry Elmer who passed away overnight Sunday. Barry joined South Melbourne as a young player in 1969, and was one of the most tireless and formative contributors to the club throughout its history. Barry is a Life Member, Hall of Fame Member, and was Assistant Secretary and Vice President before ultimately becoming the fourth President of South Melbourne District Football Club from 1989...-1997. Barry was integral in creating the family based club we all love. This included transitioning our clubrooms from a two-roomed ghetto where MSAC now stands, into the Clarke Shields Pavilion that we still enjoy today. We will always be thankful for Barrys contributions to South Melbourne. Barry is survived by his wife Lynette and their extended family. Our thoughts are with them all.

06.01.2022 Todays lockdown announcements have affected multiple players at our club. If you are no longer able to attend training due to lockdown, please reach out to your coaches who will discuss alternate training programs. If you are no longer comfortable to attend training for any reason at all, we also completely understand and support you in your decision. These are uncertain times and we all need to do what makes us feel safe. Chat to your team mates and reach out to our coaches or leadership group at any time for anything, no matter how great or small. Were all in this together x || #smdfc #smdfcwomen

06.01.2022 Tonight we should be heading to bed clutching our footies, dreaming of speckies, our uniforms laid out for the first match of the year. Instead were all tucked up in our homes watching old footy reruns and wishing we could be pulling on the red and white in the morning. These are tough times, but you are always surrounded by a huge bloods family that have your back through thick and thin. Reach out to us for support, love, and all the virtual high-fives in the world. Well be back in no time! || #smdfc #smdfcwomen

05.01.2022 There was absolute gold at the end of the rainbow with these incredible women at training tonight. Our Skills & Fitness Academy continues on Tuesday and Thursday for the next three weeks - come along and give footy a go || #smdfc #smdfcwomen #preseason

05.01.2022 Were so lucky to be surrounded by so many strong, brave, kind, caring women who lift us up when were down, lend an ear or shoulder when needed, and have our back on and off the field. Happy International Womens Day to all the incredible women in our lives - we are the women we are today thanks to you || #smdfc #smdfcwomen #internationalwomensday #IWD2020 #eachforequal
