Congratulations to Luke Hannon who plays his 100th game of senior football for the Hawka in this weekend’s semi-final.
A former Eastern Ranges premiership player, captain and best and fairest winner, Luke has also had a similar impact at Boronia.
A senior premiership player in 2018, a two time Bob Henry Medalist and current vice captain and assistant coach, his impact has been profound!
Well done Luke and all the very best in your next 100 games for our club!
Best of luck to our senior women this weekend. We hope to see everyone down supporting them. It’s going to be a thrilling match. Let’s go!! You got this!!
In absolutely huge news, all 4 of our 4 nominated juniors have taken out ENFL Best & Fairest at tonight’s award ceremony. What an amazing achievement for each of these players and all of those who have supported them.
A massive Congratulations to MAX COLLINS (U17.5C), KATE BOURKE (U16C), CAYDEN WOOD (U15B) & JULIAN BENTLEY (U14D).
The BHFNC are very pleased to announce the re-signing of Mitch Mellis, Nick Knoops and Ryan White.
MITCH MELLIS brings with him speed, endurance, class, and ferocity to every contest and we are delighted to announce his re-signing for 2024. Clearly one of the best footballers in the EFNL, Mitch’s signature (even though it was taken on a napkin at Wayno’s red wine night) is big for our club as we strive to enter Division One in 2025. A leader at such a young age, he drives standards and demands respect!
NICK KNOOPS has been a revelation since joining our club. He can play forward or in the ruck and his contributions are significant each match day. A quiet, unassuming character, Nick plays a vital role in our set up and we are delighted with his signing for 2024.
RYAN WHITE is a dual Bob Henry Medallist and is all class. He can play on the wing, in the midfield, or even forward when asked. A running machine, Ryan is a respected leader at our club and a true Hawka!
