MILESTONE: JEREMY MASON – 100 GAMES

This Saturday is a big day for the club when we celebrate Jeremy Mason as he runs out for his 100th game for Boronia Hawks against Wantirna South – his original junior club.

Jez joined the Hawks in 2019 from East Ringwood and made an immediate impact, becoming an integral part of our 2019 Reserves Premiership side and earning his first senior nod that same year. After a rock-solid 2021 campaign in the Development Squad as a crucial piece of “The Fortress”, Jez enjoyed a massive breakout year in 2022, playing 17 senior games and cementing his reputation as a reliable, versatile defender. Able to play at CHB or provide run off the back, he doesn’t mind being thrown forward for a couple of goals either.

We are proud to have Jeff Mason and Masbuild on board as player sponsor for Jez. Check them out at www.masbuild.com.au

Get down to support the Hawks this Saturday, and let’s give Jeremy the loud, proud Hawka support he deserves when he leads the boys out!


MILESTONE | 50 GAMES FOR JOSH BEGLEY

The celebrations continue this week as Josh Begley hits the 50-game milestone for the club!

Since arriving at the Hawka, “Begs” has been nothing short of sensational. With his experience at both AFL and VFL levels, he has brought a professional edge and incredible talent to our senior side.

Beyond his skills on the field, Josh is a champion off it:

? A brilliant role model for our junior players.

? Always the first to give back to the club community.

? An absolute game-changer on match day.

Well done, Joshy! We’re sure you’ve got at least another 100 in the tank to catch up to Harry’s tally! ? Go well this weekend, Begs! #boroniahawks

Josh is proudly supported by Bruce Begley and Begley Hobba & Manton. We appreciate your fantastic support of Josh and the club!


MILESTONE: 150 GAMES FOR HARRY BURGESS

This week, we celebrate a true legend of the club. Our much-loved men’s skipper, Harry Burgess, runs out for his 150th match in the brown and gold! Harry isn’t just a player; he is the heartbeat of the team. His impact on our history is already legendary:

? Triple Premiership Player and Double Premiership Captain

? Dual Bob Henry Medallist

???? Our Club’s Longest Serving Captain

Harry truly epitomises what it means to be a Hawka. His leadership, dedication, and service have built a legacy that will inspire the next generation of players for years to come.

Go well, H! Thank you for everything you’ve given to this club. Let’s get the win for the skip! #boroniahawks @teammedicalsupplies


100 GAMES | SEAN BRAMSTEDT

Sean Bramstedt aka Bramma will take the field for his 100th game for Boronia Hawks on Saturday.

JUNIOR MILESTONES | ABBEY AND KATE

Congratulations from everyone at Boronia Hawks to Abbey Lardner, from the Under 12 Girls on reaching her 50th Game, and to Kate Bourke from the Under 18 Girls, on her 100th game! Kate was a 2023 EFNL Interleague representative, snagging a BOG for game 1, and has racked up 49 career goals.


MILESTONE | 100 GAMES FOR RACHAEL PARNES

What a huge milestone for Rachael Parnes who played her 100th game of football on Saturday. Rach started with Knox in 2018, playing 26 games there before coming over to the Hawka in 2021.

74 games later Parnesy is a huge part of our women’s program having played Firsts, Dev and Masters over the journey. Surely 150 won’t be too far away!


SENIOR DEBUT | CAELAN MURRIHY

The moment has finally arrived. Caelan Murrihy will run out for his first Senior Men’s game for the Boronia Hawks against Mooroolbark.

Caelan is the definition of a Hawk. From joining the Under 10s back in 2007 to captaining the Under 19s, he has shown unwavering commitment every step of the way.

This milestone comes in his 266th game for Boronia, a testament to his loyalty, dedication, and passion for the club. The Murrihy family are lifelong Boronia people, and seeing Caelan take this step is a proud moment for them and the entire Hawk community.


100 GAMES MILESTONE | JAKE MELLIS

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.
