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.

BOLTS STEPS DOWN | JESS BOLTON

Posted on by

Club great, Jess Bolton has made the difficult decision to step down as our Development Coach for the 2026 football season.

Jess, who coached his team into a preliminary final only last week, will leave a significant hole to be filled by the club. As a playing coach, which is always a challenging role, Jess supported, guided, and improved our development players during his two-year tenure.

BHFNC sincerely thanks Jess for his efforts over the past two seasons, and we know it’s not goodbye, as another chapter in the BHFNC relationship with Jess will evolve as we never let great people like Jess just disappear.

The good news is that Jess will continue to play in the brown and gold and will continue to bring strong game sense and enormous experience to emerging players as a 200+ game player and dual Bob Henry Medallist.

Also, our sincere appreciation goes to Nathan Allen, who awarded his first namesake medal. Award winners will be announced shortly. Congratulations to all involved
