PLAYER SPONSOR | REPURPOSE IT
Thank you to ASH JOHNSTON and REPURPOSE IT for player sponsorship of JAYDEN COLLINS for the 2024 season.
The son of club legend, Dean Collins, Jayden has had a great career including stints with Eastern Ranges and Northern Blues. Big Bird is now locked in with the Hawks and has been a huge part of two premierships in 2018 and 2023. One of the best.

ALI GOTTLIEBSEN | VFLW IN 2024
Congratulations to ALI GOTTLIEBSEN who has been officially listed by DAREBIN FALCONS for the 2024 VFLW season.
Ali has gone from strength to strength in only three seasons of footy with Boronia Hawks. Her attacking run and strong marking are features of her game and we are all incredibly proud of her determination to improve her footy. Well done Ali G and best wishes for this exciting challenge.
RACHAEL SLATER | VFLW IN 2024
Congratulations to RACHAEL SLATER who has been officially listed by Port Melbourne Football Club for the 2024 VFLW season.
This will come as no surprise to those who saw Rach in action in our 2023 Premiership year, where she collected her second Ellen Johnson Medal for club B&F. We all wish Rachael the very best of luck for this very exciting opportunity. GO SLATES!!!
