Dylan Dower has recommitted to the Hawks for 2026!
A 2024 premiership player, Dylan has improved every year at Boronia. He also won the Reserves Best & Fairest in 2023 and the Colts Best & Fairest in 2017. Tough, consistent, and team first, he’s a huge asset in the brown and gold. Great to have you locked in, Dylan!
Following a successful first year in the role, Boronia Hawks is excited to announce that Greg Hall has re-committed for the 2026 season! Greg took on the Women’s Development side role this season and had an immediate impact on the group that included a mix of new and returning players.
“I’m really proud of how the team has come together with so many new players to the club this year. It took a bit of time for us to get our ducks in a row, but the team really grew over the course of the season and we can’t wait for a huge 2026!”
Greg is passionate, dedicated and leaves no stone unturned to prepare the team each week. Along with assistant coaches and leaders, he has developed a great culture amongst our Development side which has led to great player engagement and performance, and a high number of players transitioning into Senior football. We’re thrilled to have Greg back again in season 2026.
Boronia Hawks is excited to announce that Sean Buncle has re-committed to Boronia for the next two seasons! Sean joined us in 2025 to lead our Senior Women’s program, after a successful run at Port Melbourne where he led the Borough to the 2023 VFLW Premiership.
“There is something really special about Boronia. I’ve been around a lot of clubs and I’ve never really experienced one quite like it. I feel at home, we’ve got an incredible group and I’m really excited about the next few years and what we can achieve.”
Sean led our Premier Women’s team to their best finish in the top grade with six wins, finishing in 5th place… and we’re just getting started. While our on-field performance has gone to another level, Sean has also built upon the culture our women’s program has established over the years and we’re excited for the 2026 and 2027 seasons under his leadership.
We’re delighted to announce that Nathan Hare has recommitted to the Hawks for the 2026 season!
A 2× senior premiership player and Under 19s premiership player, Harey’s resume is loaded with honors including the EFNL Under-19 League Best & Fairest and the Blue Ribbon Medal as Best on Ground in the 2018 Grand Final. He also claimed the Under-19 Best Finals Player award that year and has since chalked up 50 senior games in the brown and gold.
In 2025, Harey has taken his game to another level, moving into the middle of the ground and transitioning into a dangerous goal kicking midfielder.
A proven big game performer and a Hawk through and through. It’s great to have you locked in, Harey!
We’re pumped to announce that Josh Hannon has recommitted to the Hawks for season 2026.

The future is bright, and we couldn’t be happier to have you locked in, Darcy

We’re excited to confirm that Jake Godwin has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!
Jake is a versatile and respected leader, capable of impacting games at both ends of the ground but above all, he’s someone who always puts the club first.
A Senior Premiership Player in 2018, Jake then moved north spending a few years in QLD. He featured in the 2024 QAFL Grand Final with Morningside, kicking three goals in a premiership win. He returned home to Boronia in 2025 and hasn’t missed a beat.
His return has been critical as the group adjusted to the demands of Division 1. Whether he’s locking down defenders, pushing forward, or mentoring younger players, Jake does it all with humility, heart, and team-first commitment. Not many come more loyal or genuine than Jake Godwin. We’re wrapt to have him back in the brown and gold for 2026!
