From the President

Very proud to be part of Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club today with three teams booking their place in the Grand Final.  Well done to all the boys, the coaching and support staff.  Well done to the volunteers who put all the pieces in place behind the scenes.

So often local football clubs are measured by winning premierships but the feeling amongst the Hawka faithful today after those wins showed how succesful this club already is.  This week is for everyone who’s put in the hard work over the years so our boys (and girls) can go out and have a kick.

We’re one club and we are all in this together. Win, lose or draw next week I’m so proud of this club and everyone associated with it. GO HAWKA.

Scott Nicholas, Senior President, Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club

3 Preliminary Finals for 3 Wins: a great day for the Hawks.

Reserves Elimination Final: Boronia v The Basin

Posted on by

With possibly the strongest team we have had all year we arrived at Glen Waverley to finals football.  Again some of the first faces we noticed were players not playing on the day,  a sign of real character.  The ground was in good condition; a little hard in the middle but no complaints here.  We prepared well and were ready for battle with our opponents.

From the first contest we looked as if we were on.  Running in numbers, looking for run-by handballs, spreading, and using the ball well.  With our mid field playing strong and smart we could deliver the ball with more purpose to our forwards and give them more opportunity to mark and score.  We played the ground well and used the wings to our advantage.   The pressure was there from The Basin but we absorbed it and looked after each other.   With Allen, Castersen, Heuston, Carodus, Leeson, Warren, Granland, Bruce and Johnson having a stand out first quarter we put ourselves in a strong position.

The second was played with great link up football, run off our back line, hard blocks and precise kicks and handballs.   We looked fast, if the finals nerves were there it didn’t show.  With Milde, Migues, Romano, McDonald and the Dowers having good games we won almost all over the ground.  Our forwards still had reason to be a little frustrated, none more so than Paterson.   We still made it hard for him, and his approach to the contest was admirable, dishing off when he could and kicking a few himself .

The third term was our best.  We really got on top and broke the game open, our defence repelled every forward entry by The Basin and their frustration showed with some undisciplined acts and umpire “bashing” which made us look even better.   On the other hand, we did not give away a 25 or back chat the men in green once and we are proud of the way we went about the game on this level.

The final quarter we took our foot off the gas a little and let them get a couple of goals.  We responded when we had to, but we must play four full quarters if we are to continue to the final dance and next week against the Gully will be a different style of footy and we must be even better than today.

Selection will again be difficult and players will be disappointed.  The Development Squad has a number of purposes through out the season.  It is firstly to produce and develop players to play in the senior team; create a conduit for our young players to rise through the ranks; and then be competitive and win through out the season.  We have balanced the numbers well this season and we now have a mission to complete, each week is do or die, the players are on track and focused, so let’s see where it leads us.

Development Squad Scoreboard – presented by Knox Club

Goal Kickers: J. Paterson 3, R. Warren, L. Johnson, J. Purdon, N. Heuston, S. Goldsack.
Best Players: J. Granland, D. Romano, R. Miller, K. Milde, N. Heuston, C. McDonald.

D Squad Match Report: Boronia v Ringwood

Posted on by

Our last home and away game for 2018 and we are coming off a big win, with some big names back in after injury.  The first time for some of us at the Ringwood venue and the size and condition of the ground was somewhat overwhelming.  The atmosphere was so different with no Under 19’s playing before us and it actually felt flat and lifeless.  It was great to see that some of the first players to arrive were guys not even playing.  This shows great team spirit and goes a long way and is remembered down the track.

The game started and was an arm wrestle and a low scoring affair for the first 20 minutes.   Plenty of opportunities and forward entries but we didn’t bother the scoreboard that often.  We always felt we had more momentum and were dominating in the middle, thanks to Carro, Allen, Cass and Warren.  When we went forward we put it on top of our forwards’ heads time and time again.  The boys had come to play and with Leeson getting four touches in his first 45 seconds of play we all wanted a bit of the action, we could smell the freshly cut grass of finals footy.

 The second term was much the same as the first and they had some gifted footballers making the play off their backline, repelling our forward entries, but we kept coming and knew eventually the dam would break and goals would come.

Patto, T Dower and Watto were all on the move and although our delivery was still inaccurate, we were a real handful for the opposing back line.  At the other end of the ground our back line was not only stopping scoring opportunities but giving great movement either by switching or running through the next line and bringing everyone into the play.

The second half we looked fresh and confident and that’s how we went about our footy.  Our tackle count was up, our short game was getting better, and we were hitting targets.  The mids were all on top and Macca was causing chaos footy with his run and carry.  We used the ball well and did almost everything we have been practicing at training.  Confidence is a great tool to gain at this time of year and our depth is back to early season numbers.  Picking our team for the first week of finals will be extremely difficult and there will be disappointment come Thursday night, but the twenty four who make the team will be playing with everything for those who did not.

It has been a great year around the club and everyone who missed games have been positive and supportive and we thank them, but finals footy is the start of another season within a season and we must now play our very best.  Not everyone will agree with the teams selected and that’s understandable.  Team balance and match ups are extremely important and strength, skill and luck play a big part.  We will pick a team that we think can continue towards the final week of the season and believe me, opportunities will arise.  Anything can happen in four weeks of footy.
