WELCOME TO BORONIA | JOSH CULLEN

We’re excited to announce that Josh Cullen has committed to the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 Season.

Josh arrives from Vermont, where the 190cm utility has played multiple roles and proven himself as a reliable, hard working and versatile contributor.

Josh also spent time in the Eastern Ranges pathway, adding another layer of experience to his development as a footballer.

We’re thrilled to have him on board for 2026 and beyond. Welcome to the The Hawka, Josh!


HAWKA CLUB LEGEND UPDATE | BROCKY

The much-loved Craig “Brocky” Brockley may have had a bit of heart maintenance recently, but don’t let that fool you — the old bloke is already back plotting his next move.

Not only is he on the road to a full recovery, he’s already locked himself in as Team Manager for our Men’s Development Squad in 2026. That’s right… fresh out of surgery and keen to get back into the thick of it.

All the best, Brocky — wishing you a slow, steady, and very un-Brocky recovery.

Blair brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Hawks, having spent nine seasons at Norwood, where he played over 100 senior games in Premier Division. A respected figure around the club, Blair was part of Norwood’s leadership group and served as vice-captain, twice finishing top five in the Best & Fairest.

PLAYER ANNOUNCEMENT | COREY PRESTON JOINS BORONIA

We’re excited to announce that Corey ‘CJ’ Preston will be joining the Boronia Hawks Football Club for the 2026 season.

CJ brings proven experience and leadership, having played VFL football with both Williamstown and the Box Hill Hawks, where he’s currently part of the club’s leadership group.

Before that, CJ starred at East Ringwood, where his outstanding 2024 season earned him selection in the EFNL Premier Division Team of the Year, a reflection of his consistency, skill, and impact at the top level of community football.

A composed and versatile utility, CJ is known for his clean ball use, footy smarts, and ability to influence games through the midfield and forward of centre.

At just 22, CJ adds leadership, class, and genuine excitement to our senior program as we continue to build towards success in Division 1.
