WELCOME TO BORONIA | ZOE LYNCH

We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Zoe Lynch to Boronia for the 2026 season.

Zoe joins us from Bayswater where she was named in the EFNL Team of the Year last season. Zoe plays predominantly across the backline, is a strong overheard mark and good ball user, but can play any position across the ground. We can’t wait to have Zoe and her family in brown and gold this season, and beyond.


2026 SENIOR ASSISTANT COACHES

We’re pleased to welcome Steve Brotja to Boronia, after he has spent the last five years with Upwey, the past three as their Senior Coach, where he is also a life member and played over 200 games. Steve previously coached within the Eastern Ranges program where he first connected with our Senior coach Sean Buncle. We can’t wait to have Steve in brown and gold.

Also returning will be Scott Nicholas and Tim Cavanagh. Scott spent seven seasons as our Senior Coach, leading us to a Division 1 Premiership in 2023 before transitioning to Women’s Football Operations while maintaining an Assistant Coach role.

Tim joins us for his fourth season as part of the Women’s program taking on a number of roles across Senior and Development teams following a successful stint at Ferntree Gully where he took the side to a minor Premiership in 2021.


DEVELOPMENT COACHES APPOINTED

We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Josh Silverii and Dean Harris have been appointed as Assistant Coaches for the Boronia Women’s Development side for the 2026 season.

Josh returns after his first season in 2025, where he has already built incredible relationships across the squad, and brings a great balance of fun, care and guidance to the group. Dean joins the Senior program after coaching our Under 18 Girls side in 2025, and we’re excited to add his knowledge and expertise to the ranks in supporting our big numbers of U18s joining the Senior squad next season.


RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | KELSIE TERNES

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Kelsie Ternes has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Kelsie joined us in 2025 in what turned out to be an exciting year for the young key forward. Kelsie debuted for North Melbourne in the VFLW and went on to play eight games with the VFLW Premiers. In her three matches with Boronia, Kelsie starred, kicking 4, 5 and 4 in her three matches and was awarded the ANZAC Day Medal in our Round 2 win over reigning premiers South Croydon. We’re excited to see Kelsie take her game to a new level next season.


RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | CHARITY POE

We’re thrilled to announce that Charity Poe has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026.

Charity will transition out of our Under 18 Girls side into the Senior squad, after already playing 8 Senior games across the last two years. In her first two years of football Charity has come first or runner up in the Best & Fairest and is a great teammate and an emerging leader.

We couldn’t be more excited to have Chaz continue her development with Boronia in 2026 and beyond.


RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | EMILY CAHILL

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Emily Cahill has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

RE-SIGNED FOR 2026 | BRIANNAN LAMBE

We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Briannan Lambe has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Bri had a huge season with Eastern Ranges kicking 23 goals from 15 games, including two in their Grand Final victory. Bri can play any position, is a strong contested mark, explosive in and around stoppages and has elite skills. We may have only had Bri with us for three games this year given her Ranges commitments, but she made a big impact for such a young person. We’re excited to have Bri back in brown and gold next season.
