On Saturday night, the Boronia Hawks Football & Netball Club had the immense honour of inducting two absolute champions of our club as Life Members — Nathan Allen and Greg “Flash” Hannon.
Nathan Allen – A true Hawka through and through. From his beginnings as a Junior Hawka, Nathan has gone on to play over 250 Senior Games, making him one of the club’s most loyal and respected servants. Off the field, he’s served on the Committee and dedicated his time to nurturing our future stars through Auskick coaching in recent years. A role model, a leader, and a legend — we couldn’t be prouder of the person and clubman Nathan is.
Greg “Flash” Hannon – A powerhouse of passion and leadership. Flash pulled on the brown and gold in 186 Senior Games, later taking the reins as Senior Men’s Coach for 3 seasons. But his biggest impact has been as President for the past 7 years, guiding the club through the most successful era in our 90+ year history. Flash’s commitment, vision, and love for the Hawks have left an indelible mark on the club.
Please join us in congratulating Nathan and Flash on this richly deserved honour. Their dedication to the Boronia Hawks has been nothing short of inspirational.

We’re excited to announce that Mason Storr is returning to the Hawks’ nest for the 2026 season!
A Boronia junior and Ray Lacey Medal winner as our U17 Best & Fairest, Mason’s talent was recognised early when he also claimed the EFL Under-17 League Best & Fairest in 2018. Since then, he’s gone on to carve out an outstanding senior career becoming a key player in Scoresby’s last two premiership teams, earning Best on Ground honours in the 2024 Grand final
We can’t wait to see him back in brown and gold, where it all began.
Boronia Hawks FNC has hit the off-season signing one of the most exciting young talents fresh from the VFL – but there are several more boxes Boronia must tick ahead of 2026 according to coach Matt Clark.
Recently securing former Eastern Ranges star Jake Arundell, the Hawks’ headline addition joins full-time after three seasons with Box Hill in the state league. A glittering underage career was capped off with the under-17 Eastern league best and fairest, before a stop at SANFL outfit South Adelaide.
It’s understood the 22-year-old’s signature was highly sought-after among local clubs after stepping away from the VFL.
“He’s got connections with (Boronia players) Mitch Mellis and Kieran Edwards, and Jake Mellis too. We got the hint he was thinking about coming back full-time and he was willing to explore that,” Clark said.
“We were able to share a couple of stories on people like ‘Begs’ (ex-VFL and AFL player Josh Begley) who came back to play local footy and fell in love with the game again.
“He’s looking for opportunity to be a midfielder – he’s got pace and skill. He’s a quality person which we look for first and foremost.”
Former junior Matt Barkas has returned after a stint at top-division club East Ringwood.
“He’s a one-pointer coming back and he’s another good ball-user – he’s played across the wing, half-back, half-forward. He’s really keen to get back and get involved – he’s got a lot of mates at the club,” Clark said.
Meanwhile, Eastern league legend and Bayswater great Joel Galvin has jumped on-board as a senior assistant, following three EFNL competition best and fairests, 300 games, five club champion awards and two premierships.
And there could be more recruits headed to Tormore Reserve in the coming weeks. Boronia finished the home-and-away season in fourth with a 9-7 record, before a first-week finals exit at the hands of North Ringwood.
Clark said there were several lessons to learn from the club’s maiden Division 1 season following consecutive Division 2 flags.
“The evenness of the competition, the mindset you’ve got to take into every game and how strong you’ve got to be,” he said.
“We found the year before (in Division 2) you could probably be off by five or 10 per cent and still do enough in a quarter to win it. Just switching off for a moment (in Division 1), you’ll get scored against.
“For us, just having some bigger bodies – not having under-19s for five years, we were really exposed with some players who probably weren’t physically strong enough to play at that level.
“We’ll be really keen on getting our current list stronger, and that was spoken about even after the last game about the need to get into the gym and become more resilient.”
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.
We’re excited to announce that Jax Phillips has re-signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.
Jax has been a stalwart of the program since joining in 2019, playing 57 senior games and 21 in our Masters side. Jax is always looking to find ways to improve her game and we can’t wait for another big season in brown and gold in 2026.
