16.01.2022 Welcome back to training! The U13 boys got us started last week with the COVID restrictions implemented. Cant wait to see our players this week.

16.01.2022 Stay tuned for further information to come, with official training penciled in for early 2021.

16.01.2022 Im sure most of you know by now that the 2020 footy season has been cancelled as of today. I and many others grimly held onto the hope we would play this year..., but thats probably because we just wanted it to happen - We are Footy tragics at the Devils. In the end the Victorian Government restrictions have meant the leagues had to make the call to abandon 2020 and return in 2021. It is disappointing we have to wait until next year to strut our stuff on the field but thats the way it is. That doesnt mean we wont be getting together off the field. We plan to hold a couple of great nights at the club when the restrictions allow us. We are a footy club afterall. We hope to see all supporters and players at these nights. We will keep our club strong and be ready to take on our rivals in 2021. Steve Draper - President

16.01.2022 The committee will be in touch via coaches as work toward a return to play continues. Watch this space. Until we hear otherwise the restrictions implemented for training will remain in place.

15.01.2022 Devil's Dossier President: Paul 'Monty' Montgomery Can you name your favourite player when you were a kid, a teenager and now? As a kid, Kevin Murray, as a teenager, Bernie Quinlan, and now, Lachie Neale.... Who do you think is the best coach in the AFL and why? This may be a little bit biased but I reckon Chris Fagan. His ability to build relationships with a group and set up a learning environment to get the best out of a young developing group is fantastic. Alastair Clarkson has been nowhere without him Can you have a second team? You certainly can. Mine is anyone playing Collingwood.

14.01.2022 Support local where you can

They include: - Heathmont Tennis Club, - The Basin Football & Netball Club, - Knox City Football Club, - Mountain Gate Tennis Club, - Wantirna South Junior Football Club and - Boronia Cricket Club.

10.01.2022 Update: Jay is home

10.01.2022 Hope you are all doing okay Devils family.....we are almost there!

10.01.2022 2020 has been a huge challenge and struggle for everyone around the world with a global pandemic ruining any plans that had been laid. From businesses, to spor...ting events, to clubs and everything in between COVID 19 has left its mark. There has been no kicking off the dew. No burger with the lot or steamed dimmies with a generous helping of soy sauce. No sitting behind the goals, no dribble kicks, no over the top celebrations, no obstructions, no pack marks, no last minute goals. Theres been no football or netball, despite all the best efforts. The EFNL just wants to take a moment to thank every single one of its members. Every player, every partner, every parent, every volunteer, every coach, every committee member, every fan, every sponsor. Thanks for standing by us, waiting patiently for decisions to be made whether you agreed with them or not. Your support has not gone unnoticed. We know and appreciate how much effort everyone has been put into getting a season up; The sleepless nights, the endless zoom meetings and never-ending list of guidelines and protocols. Were sure it made you feel anxious and question your role as a volunteer, but we are beyond grateful that you were up for the challenge. Most importantly, thanks for seeing that there is a bigger picture and understanding that every once in a while, there is something bigger in life than football and netball. 2020 has shown that we must put the greater good of the community ahead of our own needs, wants and desires. Fighting Covid-19 is the ultimate team event and the EFNL community is by far the best team around. As we transition to season 2021, there will be many challenges to overcome and COVID 19 may still be one of them. But we will find a way to bring football and netball back to the Eastern Community. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay prepared, because 2021 will be upon us in no time. And its going to be the biggest yet.

10.01.2022 The Devils will be back in 2021. If anything, we are stronger together. We are very pleased to announce, virtually all our senior list has signed on for an exci...ting return to local footy next season. This includes our young guns and the senior recruits of 2020. Thank you to Knox Club for supporting the Devils this season, and every season. Our friends at Knox Club have had many challenges too, but never wavered in their support of the Devils. Please get down there for a meal and a drink with friends as soon as they open. Tell 'em you support the Devils. With all the coaches in place, and the committee all on board and at it, we are set to go. Thank you to all our supporters, we hope to see you at the Knox Club soon, and back at the footy games at Walker Reserve in 2021.

09.01.2022 Whilst we can't all be together, we remain a community. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Take care Devs!

08.01.2022 See you tomorrow at the 2021 Under 17 boys info night.

08.01.2022 Update from the President-Paul As you no doubt would have heard announced yesterday we are about to enter another period of lockdown here in Victoria as at midnight tonight. In response to this, we were advised by the EFNL late yesterday that all club sanctioned Senior & Junior Training should cease immediately. No decision has been made by the EFNL in relation to the upcoming season suffice to say that the previously communicated start date of July 26 can no longer occur. ... We will continue to wait for guidance from both AFL Victoria and the EFNL and will communicate to our members once more information is known. We would like to commend all Coaches, Team Managers, players and parents for the way in which they embraced the return to training and for their discipline in adhering to the strict COVID protocols that were put in place to ensure we could get out on the ground. It was a constant theme from many parents that the return to training and physical activity had a positive effect on players in all age groups (and probably the parents too) and if we are to learn anything from the first lockdown period it is how physical activity assisted greatly with the physical and mental well-being of people who were doing it. We would encourage all of our members (players, officials and parents) to make sure we are trying to get a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity a day over this next six weeks. Obviously we still need to hear more from the EFNL going forward, but I can assure you that the WSJFC Committee is still committed to getting some type of football activity going in the later months of this season, COVID restrictions pending, whether that be matches or training, for the benefit of its members. Stay home, stay safe and stay active!

02.01.2022 Week one of 'Devil's Dossier'. Have you ever wondered how two time premiership coach and new President Paul 'Monty' Montgomery ticks? Over the next few days we will share his answers to our hard hitting, investigative questions. Watch this space. Here is a teaser. If you didn't follow Brisbane, who do you think you would barrack for? I had to contemplate this when it looked like Fitzroy may fold in the 1990’s. At that stage it would have been Brisbane so that worked out we...ll for me. My theory at the time was that I had been offended/annoyed by nearly every other team and their supporters at one stage or another and the only one that didn’t offend me at that stage was Fremantle, so not much has changed so I reckon I would still go with them. With the new ones to come in since then, there is something about GWS that you can’t like, and as a Brisbane supporter we have to dislike Gold Coast (who can forget all those classic Q Clashes!).
