CONGRATULATIONS TO HARRY CHAPMAN | VIC METRO

Posted on by

Congratulations to Harrison Chapman of the Boronia Hawks on his well-deserved selection in the 2026 Victoria Metro summer training squad, which was finalised on January 21, 2026.

This prestigious 26-player squad highlights the top emerging talent in the region. Harry’s inclusion is a significant achievement, adding to his growing list of football accolades. He is also a member of the elite 2026 Marsh AFL National Academy and plays for the Eastern Ranges in the AFL Talent League, underscoring his high potential as a likely top draft prospect.

Here he is receiving his Boronia jumper in 2025 from his father Nathan, a former Hawka himself. Harry’s strong performances have marked him as one of the key players to watch as the 2026 season progresses.

GRAND FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT

We’re incredibly proud to announce that Harry Chapman will be taking the field and Darcy Jamieson has been named as an emergency for Eastern Ranges in the Coates Talent League Grand Final!

Eastern Ranges will face off against the Sandringham Dragons on Saturday at 1:00pm at IKON Park in what promises to be a fantastic clash between two quality sides.

Harry, Darcy, Myles, Max and Tahj have all represented The Hawka Family with distinction this season — showing commitment, character, and class in their football. They’ve made significant contributions not only to our club but to the Eastern Ranges program, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way they’ve gone about their footy.

Let’s get behind the boys and the Eastern Ranges as they chase premiership glory!

?? Go Hawka! Go Ranges! ??
