GRAND FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT
We’re incredibly proud to announce that Harry Chapman will be taking the field and Darcy Jamieson has been named as an emergency for Eastern Ranges in the Coates Talent League Grand Final!
Eastern Ranges will face off against the Sandringham Dragons on Saturday at 1:00pm at IKON Park in what promises to be a fantastic clash between two quality sides.
Harry, Darcy, Myles, Max and Tahj have all represented The Hawka Family with distinction this season — showing commitment, character, and class in their football. They’ve made significant contributions not only to our club but to the Eastern Ranges program, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way they’ve gone about their footy.
Let’s get behind the boys and the Eastern Ranges as they chase premiership glory!
Go Hawka! Go Ranges!
RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | ANGIE TORCASIO
We’re thrilled to announce that Angie Torcasio has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Angie had a huge season this year, after debuting with Box Hill, Angie went on to play 10 games at VFLW level. A classy midfielder with elite skills, Angie is equally as damaging on offence and defense. Angie was phenomenal in her games with Boronia this year, and we can’t wait to see her continue her develop her game in brown and gold next season.
RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | EMERSON WATT
We’re excited to announce that Emerson Watt has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Emerson returned to football this season, and made an impact from the very first session. Emerson reads the play incredibly well, is always willing to put her head over the ball, is a strong contested mark in defence and can play a number of roles across the ground. Still only 18, Emerson has a lot more football ahead of her in brown and gold and we can’t wait for next year.
UNDER 17.5 BOYS | 2025 AWARDS
Please join us in congratulating CAYDEN WOOD, our inaugural Nathan Allen medallist. Cayden convincingly won the U17.5 Best & Fairest award, showcasing exceptional skill and dedication. This prestigious honour marks Cayden’s fifth Best & Fairest award in six remarkable seasons of competitive football, including a notable runner-up finish in 2019. We have high expectations for the future accomplishments of this outstanding young player.
UNDER 18 GIRLS | 2025 AWARDS
Huge Congratulations to KATE BOURKE on claiming the 2025 U18 Girls Best & Fairest. This is Kate’s third B&F trophy since coming to Boronia for U14 girls in 2022. Well done Kate, we look forward to seeing the extraordinary impact this talented, courageous player will have in the seasons to come!
BOLTS STEPS DOWN | JESS BOLTON
Club great, Jess Bolton has made the difficult decision to step down as our Development Coach for the 2026 football season.
Jess, who coached his team into a preliminary final only last week, will leave a significant hole to be filled by the club. As a playing coach, which is always a challenging role, Jess supported, guided, and improved our development players during his two-year tenure.
BHFNC sincerely thanks Jess for his efforts over the past two seasons, and we know it’s not goodbye, as another chapter in the BHFNC relationship with Jess will evolve as we never let great people like Jess just disappear.
The good news is that Jess will continue to play in the brown and gold and will continue to bring strong game sense and enormous experience to emerging players as a 200+ game player and dual Bob Henry Medallist.
RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | LUCY McLENNAN
We’re excited to announce that Lucy McLennan has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Lucy joined the Hawks in 2024 and has become a huge part of the squad in a short amount of time. Still very early in her football career, Lucy has played 27 games in her first two seasons. Lucy is a physical, highly motivated footballer, who is a great team mate and we can’t wait for her to continue her development next season.
RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | RACHAEL PARNES
We couldn’t be more excited to announce Rachael Parnes has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Rachael notched up her 50th club game for Boronia this season, and has also played 21 Masters games since joining the club. Rach is always the first to volunteer and is one of our hardest working squad members. Rach always gives it 100% at training or on game day and we’re excited for more in 2026.
RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | JESS MATTIOLI
We’re thrilled to announce that Jess Mattioli has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Jess joined us this year, and went from strength to strength as the season went on. Coming from a netball background, Jess played mostly at Centre Half Back and her strong intercept marking was a feature of her game. We’re excited for Jess to take her game to another level in brown and gold next season!
