RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | EMILY WELLINGTON

Posted on by

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

Em has continued to build her game since joining Boronia in 2024, developing her craft in defence, up forward and across the middle. A versatile player in a number of ways, Em is at her best reading the play, winning a hard ball, and using her long penetrating kick to set up attack. Em has become a huge part of our squad in a short time and we look forward to seeing her take her game to another level in brown and gold next season.

We’re excited to announce that Harry Chapman has recommitted to the Hawks for 2026!

Harry debuted in our seniors in 2025 and immediately showed he belongs at the top level. He’s impressed with Eastern Ranges, earned selection in the Under-17 Vic Metro team, and continues to turn heads with his skill, composure, and elite running ability. A genuine talent with a limitless future we can’t wait to see where Harry can take his game. Great to have you locked in, Chappy!

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

Jenna has made a huge impact in her two seasons with the club both on and off the field. On field she is one of our most dynamic and skilled forwards, known for big marks and iconic left foot snaps. Since joining us, Jenna has gone at a little over a goal and game, with her 15 goals in 2025 placing her in the top ten goalkickers in Premier Division. We’re excited for plenty more from Jenna in brown and gold next season.

Luke Flanagan has recommitted to the Hawks for 2026!

A 2× senior premiership player and 50 game Hawk, Luke is a silky smooth mover who has taken his game to another level in 2025 by stepping up onto a wing. His ball use, running ability, and composure make him a valuable part of the brown and gold. Great to have you locked in, Luke!

RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | CRYSTAL CHINN

We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Crystal Chinn has re-signed for the 2026 season.

Chinny has been one of our most consistent squad members and continues to find ways to develop her game. Chinny split her time across both teams this season and was amongst our most impactful players in the Development side this year. The 2023 premiership player brought up her 50th club game this season, and we can’t wait to see Chinny add to this tally in 2026!

RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | FLETCHER DUKE

We’re proud to announce that Fletcher “Fletch” Duke has recommitted to the Hawks for the 2026 season!

A 2× senior premiership player, Fletch also captained our 2018 Under-19s premiership side where he won the Most Consistent Player award. In 2025, Fletch showed he can play at both ends of the ground, standing tall at CHF in big games while continuing to be a rock in defence when needed. A strong and mobile tall fletch is a key pillar in the brown and gold.

RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | SHAE DENNY

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

Shae joined us this year and had an immediate impact on and off the field. Rarely loses 1 on 1, and one of the most impactful defenders in Premier Division, Shae is at her best intercepting play across half back. A positive, encouraging and determined squad member we can’t wait for a big 2026 season from Shae in brown and gold!

RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 |

Posted on by

We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce Georgia Baldwin has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Georgia was part of Box Hill’s VFLW program this season making her debut in Round 3. Georgia is a competitive beast, fierce at the contest and an all round great team mate. As a developing key defender, Georgia’s mix of physicality, run and ball use off half back provided a lot in her 7 games with us this year before her season ended in injury. Georgia levels up each game she plays, and we can’t wait for more in 2026!
