CONGRATULATIONS TO HARRY CHAPMAN | VIC METRO

Posted on by

Congratulations to Harrison Chapman of the Boronia Hawks on his well-deserved selection in the 2026 Victoria Metro summer training squad, which was finalised on January 21, 2026.

This prestigious 26-player squad highlights the top emerging talent in the region. Harry’s inclusion is a significant achievement, adding to his growing list of football accolades. He is also a member of the elite 2026 Marsh AFL National Academy and plays for the Eastern Ranges in the AFL Talent League, underscoring his high potential as a likely top draft prospect.

Here he is receiving his Boronia jumper in 2025 from his father Nathan, a former Hawka himself. Harry’s strong performances have marked him as one of the key players to watch as the 2026 season progresses.

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is excited to welcome Xavier Lane to the club from the Yackandandah Football Club.

At just 19 years of age, Xavier arrives as a bright young prospect with strong credentials. In 2023, he capped off an outstanding season by winning Yackandandah’s Under 17 Best and Fairest, while also finishing runner-up in the League Under 17 Best and Fairest. Over the past two seasons, Xavier has gained valuable experience playing across both the Senior and Reserves levels, demonstrating his development, competitiveness, and readiness to take the next step in his football journey. Known for his work rate, consistency, and team-first attitude, he brings both talent and maturity beyond his years.

We’re thrilled to have Xavier join the Boronia Hawks and look forward to watching him continue to grow and make his mark in the brown and gold. Welcome to the Hawka, Xavier! ???

SIGNED FOR 2026 | TOM GASPARRONI

Posted on by

We’re thrilled to announce that Tom Gasparroni has recommitted to Boronia Hawks for the 2026 Season.

After an injury interrupted first half of 2025, Tom showed exactly what he’s capable of once he got going, especially in our Final, where he was one of our best players on the day. His impact, work rate and competitiveness gave us a real lift when it mattered most.

Tom is now injury free and tearing up the track and we can’t wait to see what he delivers with a full, uninterrupted pre season behind him.
