LIFE MEMBERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

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.

THANK YOU | NICOLE GUY

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Nicole Guy, as Nic has made the decision to finish in her role as Senior Assistant Coach within our Women’s program.

Joining Boronia in 2023, Nicole has brought strong coaching and communication, an incredible amount of support for our playing group, guidance, expertise, and a huge amount of energy!

Nic will leave a big hole in the squad but finishes (for now) with a significant contribution, close relationships and will always be part of our history as part of the coaching team behind our first Senior Women’s Premiership in 2023. We look forward to having Nicole cheering from the sidelines next season! ??

Sean Buncle (Senior Head Coach) and Greg Hall (Development Head Coach) have already committed for season 2026, and we will have some more announcements with our Assistant Coaches coming soon!


EFNL B&F | MITCH MELLIS – OUR NEW EFNL LEGEND

Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is delighted to announce that Mitch Mellis tonight won his 3rd EFNL Best and Fairest award at Marvel Stadium.

The Kenneth Wright MBE Medal is awarded for the fairest and best player in Division 1. Mitch won The Paul Edie Medal (Division 2) in the previous two seasons.

Mitch, the son of Cam and Cath Mellis and brother to Jake and Trent, has done his family and club proud, not just tonight or this season, but during his entire footballing career. A tough inside midfielder with electric speed and an almost frightening capacity to keep his eyes on the ball at all times, Mitch is just a consistent ball magnet even though he deals with a tight tag during most games.

Reading Josh Hannon’s taps around the ground with effortless ease, Mitch has the inherent capacity to bring his teammates into the game and make our team better.

Off the field, Mitch is heavily invested in our club. The Mellis family name is very significant. Cam, his father, is a club life member and is still driving our recruiting team. Cath, his mother, continues in the role as our Senior Men’s Team Manager. There has never been a more loved team manager in our club’s history, having the total respect of every player on our list. Jake, his older brother, is an incredibly talented senior player in his own right, and Trent, his other older brother, returned to the club this year to support Luke Hannon in the Under-19s and played the role of 19’s runner for this season. What an invested Hawka family!

Mitch now joins Dean Grice as an EFNL legend. We salute you, Mitch, and wish you nothing but success and good health in your future, both on and off the field.


EFNL B&F | DEAN GRICE

After a standout year in his first season of Veteran’s footy, DEAN GRICE was tonight awarded the BJS Insurance Veterans’ Best and Fairest award for 2025.

Dean has previously won League Best and Fairest awards in Under-19s, Reserves along with 4 x Paul Edie Medals for Best & Fairest in Division 2, making him an EFNL Legend and one of the most decorated footballers in EFNL history. Gricey is an undisputed champion of our club, and we congratulate you!


EFNL B&F | CHARLIE LAVENDER

Congratulations to young superstar Charlie Lavender for winning the Division 1 Under 19 Best & Fairest Award tonight at the EFNL Awards night being held at Marvel Stadium.

Chaz had a great season playing 19’s along with a number of Senior games in 2025. We can’t wait to watch him do it all again next season and into the future. Congratulations Chaz!
