Boronia Football Club will move it’s preseason up a gear as we commence our 2017 Practice Match Series on Sunday 19 March.
@boroniahawks will play Mt Evelyn from the YVMDFL Division 1 in three Practice Matches at Silvan. This will be our third preseason hit out against Mt Evelyn in recent years.
Games start at 10:00am for the U19’s, 12:00pm for the Development Squad and 2:00pm for the Seniors. All sponsors, members, supporters, family and friends are encouraged to come along and support the boys!
BORONIA has its eyes set on a top-three finish in 2017, boosted by the addition of Eastern Ranges best and fairest winner Luke Hannon. The decorated junior captained the Ranges in 2014 before spending the past two seasons with Casey, where he cracked three senior VFL games in 2015. But Hannon and younger brother Josh, who managed 30 games at the Ranges in the past two seasons, will call Tormore Reserve home in 2017.
Boronia coach Peter Brown said the pair had joined the Division 3 outfit to follow in the footsteps of their father, Greg, who played in the 1986 premiership and coached the club from 2003 to 2005. “Luke had first division clubs knocking on his door and he came up to me one day and said him and his brother wanted to play here where it all started for their dad,” Brown said.
The Hawks have also nabbed talented under-19 midfielders Todd Kenny (Mulgrave), Jarrod Eccleston (Ferntree Gully), Mason Kirby (Upwey Tecoma) and Kane Milde (Upper Ferntree Gully), as well as Vermont reserves captain Luke Johnson. Key position players Dean Black (Norwood) and Lindsay Palmer (returning) will add versatility at either end of the ground. Centre-half forward Luke Hare (Knox) and centre-half back Jarryd Rutherford (returning) will strengthen the Hawks’ spine, while Jai Sartori (Upper Ferntree Gully) will slot in on a defensive flank. Brendan Walsh has been the only confirmed departure, with the key defender set to return to Rowville.
Brown said the season would be a failure if the Hawks did not at least equal its 10-win season last year. “Last year we didn’t have any big recruits but everyone was prepared to work hard and we had a little bit of success,” he said. “We’ve set goals to make finals again and go a little bit further and I believe we have depth there to do it. “They had a bit of taste of what we are after last year and the opportunity is there to go a little bit further.”

Firstly, let me say a big Happy New Year to all involved at the Boronia Football Club. Here’s to 2017, seeing us take a step or two closer, towards our ultimate goal.
The improvements in 2016 across our three senior sides, will see us being the hunted, so we need to strive to improve ourselves further, to keep ahead of the pack and close the gap on the top four sides from 2016.
Already having a strong playing list, this will be bolstered by our recruitment over the off season, to strengthen our squad with depth, along with more quality youngsters coming through our junior ranks.
This has me emphasising how prepared we all must be, come Monday 30th of January.
Don’t start behind, as a tough pre season awaits us, which will lead into a tough footy season, with rewards to be had at seasons end, if we all continue to work hard together.
