We couldn’t be more excited to announce Georgia Kavanagh has signed with Boronia for the 2026 season.

Georgia has had a decorated junior career highlighted by taking out the U18A League Best & Fairest last season, while also taking home Best On Ground in the Grand Final for Blackburn.

Georgia has also been with Eastern Ranges through Under 16s and U18s playing nine Coates League games over the past two years, and being a part of the Ranges leadership group each of those seasons.

HAWKA CLUB LEGEND UPDATE | BROCKY

Posted on by

The much-loved Craig “Brocky” Brockley may have had a bit of heart maintenance recently, but don’t let that fool you — the old bloke is already back plotting his next move.

Not only is he on the road to a full recovery, he’s already locked himself in as Team Manager for our Men’s Development Squad in 2026. That’s right… fresh out of surgery and keen to get back into the thick of it.

All the best, Brocky — wishing you a slow, steady, and very un-Brocky recovery.

We’re pleased to welcome Steve Brotja to Boronia, after he has spent the last five years with Upwey, the past three as their Senior Coach, where he is also a life member and played over 200 games.
