Liam comes to Boronia with an impressive football CV to match his 194cm frame.

After spending the footy off-season as a “Fly In – Fly Out” player in the NTFL with Darwin Buffalos he played 2023 in the strong Central Murray Football League with Tyntynder.
Boronia Hawks are delighted to have Liam and his family join the club, so please make Liam feel very welcome at his new home.

Ben Robertson: Finished equal-third in the Eastern Division 2 goalkicking this year with 50 majors from 19 matches, helping Boronia to the top of the ladder and the premiership. Capped off a stellar campaign with four goals in the grand final victory over Heathmont.
Josh Begley: Potent through the middle and in attack, the ex-AFL Bomber hauled in big numbers in his return to the league this season, kicking 50 goals from 19 games among a string of high possession counts across the season. A key part in Boronia’s premiership-winning campaign in Eastern’s Division 2 this year, which lost just one match all season.
Mitch Mellis: The lightning-quick 22-year-old midfielder took home Eastern’s Division 2 best and fairest this season, and was a key part of a Boronia outfit which has finished top of the ladder season on the way to the flag. Ruck rover in the Team of the Year.
