This week we celebrate a huge milestone for one of our finest, Jake Mellis, who runs out for his 100th senior game in the brown and gold! After a decorated Junior career, as a Captain and Under 19 David Murrihy Medallist, Jake has excelled in his Senior career to date.
A 2023 Premiership Player and always a true team-first Hawka. Whether it’s shutting down an opponent or standing tall in big moments, Jake always leads by example and puts the team first. Jake is a much loved & respected teammate off the field.
The Mellis name continues to build a proud legacy at the Hawka – and hitting the ton is another proud chapter in an already incredible career. Congratulations Jakey.
Kieran has been a vital part of the Hawks since joining in 2023, kicking an impressive 47 goals along the way. He played a key role in our senior premiership victory in 2023 and has smoothly transitioned from a forward to a hard-running wingman.
Known for his relentless work ethic, Kieran contributes both offensively and defensively, often tracking back to help in defence and pushing forward to create scoring opportunities. Beyond the field, Kizza’s lively personality and good humour make him a standout teammate, greatly contributing to the strong culture at the Hawks.
Here’s to many more games and successes ahead for Kizza!
Good luck to this young man as he makes his Senior debut in the brown and gold in the main game against Park Orchards. Go well Tom!
We’re excited to confirm that Jake Godwin has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!
Jake is a versatile and respected leader, capable of impacting games at both ends of the ground but above all, he’s someone who always puts the club first.
A Senior Premiership Player in 2018, Jake then moved north spending a few years in QLD. He featured in the 2024 QAFL Grand Final with Morningside, kicking three goals in a premiership win. He returned home to Boronia in 2025 and hasn’t missed a beat.
His return has been critical as the group adjusted to the demands of Division 1. Whether he’s locking down defenders, pushing forward, or mentoring younger players, Jake does it all with humility, heart, and team-first commitment. Not many come more loyal or genuine than Jake Godwin. We’re wrapt to have him back in the brown and gold for 2026!

We’re pumped to announce that Jordan Church has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!
Still eligible for Under 19s, Jordan has made a seamless transition into Division 1 footy in his first year at the club and already looks right at home. Whether playing across half-back or through the midfield, his composure, toughness, and footy IQ have stood out all season long. With maturity well beyond his years, Jordan is a key part of our exciting next generation. He’s already a senior Best & Fairest winner at FTG, and in 2025 he’s shown he belongs at Division 1 level with the Hawks.
Jordan carries one of the great Boronia names. He’s the son of Russell Church a 2000 senior premiership player and 2002 Bob Henry Medallist and the nephew of club favourite Rod “Rocket” Church.
We’re thrilled to have him locked in for 2026 — and trust us, keep an eye on this name for many years to come at the Hawka.

Jarrod isn’t just a key defender, he’s the heart and soul of the club, a fan favourite, and one of the most respected figures to pull on the brown and gold. He continues to be a cornerstone of our back six and a foundation of our current era of success.
What he put his body through just to get up for last year’s Grand Final was unmatched and not only did he get there, he was one of the best players on the ground. That effort sums up everything about Jarrod fearless, selfless, and unbreakable.We’re absolutely thrilled to have him locked in for 2026. Let’s go, Lakey!
