Saturday also sees Ben Robertson’s 150th senior game for the Hawka. Robbo has been the Hawks goal kicking spearhead for the past few seasons, as a reliable scorer with a big, booming kick.
Robbo has proven he is a great clubman having also helped coach our boys Under 19s squad.
Congratulations on your 150th game Robbo!
This weekend sees Lachie Watson play his 150th game of Senior football for the Hawka. Lachie also played 110 games across his junior and U18s career for Boronia. In that time Lachie has been a consistent scorer, notching up 214 senior goals to date.
Renowned for his amazing leaping prowess, we are super pleased to see Lachie reach this milestone after a number of injury setbacks over the years. Lachie has also contributed a significant amount of his time to the club as assistant coach to the Senior Women’s Squad over the past few seasons.
Congratulations on your 150th game Watto!
With the launch of our new hoodies this now completes an extensive project that we embarked on way back in August 2022 with our Brand Review survey. Information gained from this survey enabled us to take a closer look at our logo, colours and existing merch range.
A small team was formed soon after the survey and we went about establishing guidelines for our brand and conducting a complete review of potential suppliers of our merch. One supplier in particular stood out as they were professional and innovative from the outset and offered a service model that met our brief – they were ‘Your Clubroom’.
We officially engaged Your Clubroom in November last year to go about documenting our brand and to create options for us to consider for our new merch range. This included a review of colours, materials, and size fitment options – unisex and women. As a result, we have slowly rolled out a new range of beanies, scarfs, training shorts and singlets, polos, and last week, our new hoodies.
Today we are pleased to showcase our official documentation of this process – Boronia Hawks – Defining the Brand 2023. This has been a long journey, but I’d like to thank YOU, our passionate members for your feedback along the way. A special thanks to Jayden & Damon from Your Clubroom who supported our vision and guided us along the way. Lastly to Karen Butler and Maria Gagic who have been there from day one and will now manage selling our new range. Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy wearing our new merch!

Parents of our senior men’s players were invited in to the rooms before the games against East Burwood to acknowledge their support to the boys throughout their footy careers.
Prior to the Senior Game, Coach Matt Clark spoke first, followed by Frank Robertson and Karen Butler speaking from the parents’ perspective. Luke Hannon responded on behalf of the players.
In the Development Team, Coach Craig Brockley spoke on behalf of the club with parents Pip Allen and Stuart McDonald peaking about their experiences, with captain Nathan Allen rounding it off.
Thanks to all involved for supporting this inititative to bring the club families together in the Hawka community. Parents adjourned for drinks and nibbles in the social rooms before the main game.
The BHFNC sends its sincere condolences to Simon ‘Horse’ West on the passing of his much loved mother Sylvia. Sylvia West had a stroke recently and unfortunately did not recover. Sylvia, also Nana to Kristan Wood was the mother of 8 children and as such obviously lived a very full life.
We wish Simon, Kristan and all of their family members our best wishes during this difficult time.
Last Saturday night the rooms were packed and the annual 200 Draw was a success once again.
Congratulations to our winners and a huge thank you to our volunteers Nathan Allen, Mick Goldsack, Tim Curry. Neil Reddaway, Bill Notley, Jason Davis, James Krenn, Ellen Johnson and the 3 Junior Boys.

On Saturday, our Senior Men played The Basin at Batterham Park for the Headspace Community Cup.
Like all games against our local rival The Basin, the game was played in great spirit with our boys prevailing in the very windy conditions.
Both teams gathered post-game to hear from both Coaches on the importance of reaching out if you are experiencing a personal crisis.
If you are a player, coach, volunteer or supporter please reach out to a friend or teammate and let them know you need help.
Please check out our Club Wellbeing Hub or contact Lifeline 13 11 14 or visit Headspace CLICK HERE.
The Dower boys (triplets) have amassed 174 Senior games between them since finishing with our Juniors but had never played together in the same team due to injuries etc, until Round 10 against The Basin.
Great young men, who epitomise Hawka culture. Keep up the good work boys. #Respect
