We’re thrilled to announce that Angie Torcasio has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Angie had a huge season this year, after debuting with Box Hill, Angie went on to play 10 games at VFLW level. A classy midfielder with elite skills, Angie is equally as damaging on offence and defense. Angie was phenomenal in her games with Boronia this year, and we can’t wait to see her continue her develop her game in brown and gold next season.
We’re excited to announce that Emerson Watt has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Emerson returned to football this season, and made an impact from the very first session. Emerson reads the play incredibly well, is always willing to put her head over the ball, is a strong contested mark in defence and can play a number of roles across the ground. Still only 18, Emerson has a lot more football ahead of her in brown and gold and we can’t wait for next year.
We’re excited to announce that Lucy McLennan has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Lucy joined the Hawks in 2024 and has become a huge part of the squad in a short amount of time. Still very early in her football career, Lucy has played 27 games in her first two seasons. Lucy is a physical, highly motivated footballer, who is a great team mate and we can’t wait for her to continue her development next season.
We couldn’t be more excited to announce Rachael Parnes has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Rachael notched up her 50th club game for Boronia this season, and has also played 21 Masters games since joining the club. Rach is always the first to volunteer and is one of our hardest working squad members. Rach always gives it 100% at training or on game day and we’re excited for more in 2026.
We’re thrilled to announce that Jess Mattioli has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Jess joined us this year, and went from strength to strength as the season went on. Coming from a netball background, Jess played mostly at Centre Half Back and her strong intercept marking was a feature of her game. We’re excited for Jess to take her game to another level in brown and gold next season!
We’re thrilled to announce that Mady McMillan has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Mady was the first player to graduate from our junior girls pathway, where she won an U16s Premiership in 2023, stepping up into Senior football this season. Splitting her time across both teams this year, Mady played mostly forward and mid, but played in other roles when the opportunity presented itself. We’re excited for Mady to level up again next season in brown and gold!
We’re excited to announce that Darci Watt has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Darci has been one of our most consistent squad members in 2025 in her first year with the Hawks. Willing to play any role for the team when asked, Darci is the ultimate team mate and always willing to step up when required. Darci made her Senior debut in Round 7 this year, and we’re excited for another big year of growth from Darci in 2026.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce Joan Dekker has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Joan is an incredibly versatile player who can play key position or in the ruck, and cover the ground as well as any midfielder. Joan is a 2023 premiership player who took the 2025 season off to welcome daughter Kelsey into the world. Joan is a great team mate, and great squad member and we can’t wait to have her back in the brown and gold next season.
We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Amanda Cellante has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Amanda is a 2023 premiership player, 2019 Ellen Johnson medalist, and runner up in 2018 and 2024. Amanda spent 2025 leading our Player Development program as she prepared to welcome her daughter Bonnie into the world. We’re excited to have her determined, hard running, and contested game style back on field this season. As our former U16s and U18s girls coach, Amanda will play a key role in supporting our junior girls transitioning into Senior football.
Congratulations to Boronia’s Bri Lambe for being named as Eastern Ranges Power Player for kicking 4 goals in Round 18. Well done Bri!
