JACKSON TAYLOR MP | THANK YOU

Posted on by

BHFNC wishes to sincerely thank our incredible local member, Jackson Taylor on his recently announced retirement from parliament at the next election.

Jackson has been a strong advocate of local community sport since he was first elected and his support of our club has been nothing short of exceptional! The $1.2m grant for our new pavilion is but one example of the support Jackson gave our club.

Jackson, we are most grateful for the advice and support you have given the club leadership over the years and we wish you and your young family nothing but success and good health into your future.

HEADSPACE CUP | BORONIA v THE BASIN

A cracking day at Batterham Park in the battle for the Headspace Cup between The Basin and Boronia Hawks Senior Womens teams.

The game was played in great spirit, with both teams coming together at the end of the game to chat about the importance of looking out for each other. Thanks to Dyl Dower and GrowClub for the hoodies. Tilly Birkett and Jaimee Monk both looked great in the hoodies after being named best on ground for their respective teams.

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Jake Mellis has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!

Jake’s journey through the brown and gold has been nothing short of outstanding. A true club man who has delivered time and time again.

2× Premiership Player – 2018 Under-19s Premiership (Vice-Captain) – 2023 Senior Premiership Individual Honours – David Murrihy Medal – U19 Best & Fairest (2018) – U15 Best & Fairest (2015). Jake’s consistency, football smarts, and selfless team-first approach make him an invaluable part of our senior group. Whether shutting down an opponent or stepping up in big moments, Jake leads by example.

The Mellis name continues to build a proud legacy at the Hawka, and Jake’s commitment to the club is a huge win as we charge ahead into Division 1. We can’t wait to see what’s next, Jake bring on 2026!

Posted on by

We’re absolutely pumped to announce that Mitch Mellis has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!

In just his first 50 senior games at the Hawka, Mitch has already built a resume that most could only dream of: 

  • 2× Premiership Player 
  •  2× Paul Edie Medallist 
  •  2× EFNL Team of the Year 
  •  2024 Bob Henry Medal 

Mitch’s impact has been enormous. He’s driven standards, led from the front, and become a cornerstone of our senior group as we push for more success in Division 1.

The Mellis family has a proud history at the Hawka, and Mitch is carving out a legacy that’s going to be hard to match. Locking him in for 2026 is a massive win for the club and we can’t wait to see what he brings in the years ahead.
