RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | PAIGE DEANE

The news we’ve all been waiting for… We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Paige Deane has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Deaneo is a Senior Premiership player at Boronia, and finished last season by celebrating her 50th club game. Playing mostly up forward and across the middle, Paige uses her speed and penetrating kick to hurt the opposition in transition.

The Big Dog has continued to develop in each of her first three seasons of Senior footy, while serving as Assistant Coach for our Under 18 Girls. We can’t wait to see Deaneo back in brown and gold next season.


WELCOME TO BORONIA | JAMES BURGOYNE

Welcome to Boronia for the 2026 season, James Burgoyne!

James joins us from Ferntree Gully, where he’s built a reputation as a strong, reliable key defender. Since arriving at Boronia, he’s already made an impression with his work ethic on the track and his commitment to getting better. We’re looking forward to seeing “Silk” pull on the brown and gold and make his mark in 2026.


RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | MADS MAUCHLINE

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Mads Mauchline has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Mads made a huge impact in their first year at the club playing across Development and Senior sides. A smart, physical, rebounding defender who reads the play well, Mads has very quickly become a huge part of our program taking home the player-voted Spirit of the Hawk Award last season. We are excited to see Mads back in brown and gold next season playing, and also coaching amongst our junior program.

CONGRATULATIONS TO HARRY CHAPMAN | VIC METRO

Congratulations to Harrison Chapman of the Boronia Hawks on his well-deserved selection in the 2026 Victoria Metro summer training squad, which was finalised on January 21, 2026.

This prestigious 26-player squad highlights the top emerging talent in the region. Harry’s inclusion is a significant achievement, adding to his growing list of football accolades. He is also a member of the elite 2026 Marsh AFL National Academy and plays for the Eastern Ranges in the AFL Talent League, underscoring his high potential as a likely top draft prospect.

Here he is receiving his Boronia jumper in 2025 from his father Nathan, a former Hawka himself. Harry’s strong performances have marked him as one of the key players to watch as the 2026 season progresses.

WELCOME TO BORONIA | XAVIER LANE

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is excited to welcome Xavier Lane to the club from the Yackandandah Football Club.

At just 19 years of age, Xavier arrives as a bright young prospect with strong credentials. In 2023, he capped off an outstanding season by winning Yackandandah’s Under 17 Best and Fairest, while also finishing runner-up in the League Under 17 Best and Fairest. Over the past two seasons, Xavier has gained valuable experience playing across both the Senior and Reserves levels, demonstrating his development, competitiveness, and readiness to take the next step in his football journey. Known for his work rate, consistency, and team-first attitude, he brings both talent and maturity beyond his years.

We’re thrilled to have Xavier join the Boronia Hawks and look forward to watching him continue to grow and make his mark in the brown and gold. Welcome to the Hawka, Xavier! ???
