This week we celebrate a huge milestone for one of our finest, Jake Mellis, who runs out for his 100th senior game in the brown and gold! After a decorated Junior career, as a Captain and Under 19 David Murrihy Medallist, Jake has excelled in his Senior career to date.
A 2023 Premiership Player and always a true team-first Hawka. Whether it’s shutting down an opponent or standing tall in big moments, Jake always leads by example and puts the team first. Jake is a much loved & respected teammate off the field.
The Mellis name continues to build a proud legacy at the Hawka – and hitting the ton is another proud chapter in an already incredible career. Congratulations Jakey.
We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Jake Mellis has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!
Jake’s journey through the brown and gold has been nothing short of outstanding. A true club man who has delivered time and time again.
2× Premiership Player – 2018 Under-19s Premiership (Vice-Captain) – 2023 Senior Premiership Individual Honours – David Murrihy Medal – U19 Best & Fairest (2018) – U15 Best & Fairest (2015). Jake’s consistency, football smarts, and selfless team-first approach make him an invaluable part of our senior group. Whether shutting down an opponent or stepping up in big moments, Jake leads by example.
The Mellis name continues to build a proud legacy at the Hawka, and Jake’s commitment to the club is a huge win as we charge ahead into Division 1. We can’t wait to see what’s next, Jake bring on 2026!
BHFNC are delighted to announce the re-signing of Max Brasher, Luke Flanagan, Mitch Jelo and Jake Mellis.
Max Brasher was recruited to the Hawka this year and has not put a foot wrong. He’s a skillful, fit player and a natural runner. Max adds depth and class to our midfield and we are absolutely stoked to have Max sign on for another year at Boronia and we all hope he becomes a 200-game player for our club.
Luke Flanagan has not put in a bad performance across half-back all year and gives our defence run and consistency of effort. This kid can play! He comes from a ripping family and just belongs at our club.
Mitch Jelo was also recruited this season, across from Noble Park. He arrived not knowing anyone but we soon got to know his tough, uncompromising, old style, and his dangerous nature around goals. Mitch’s re-signing is a real boost for our club!
Jake Mellis is our most talented utility player and has really stamped his authority this season, making himself a respected and highly regarded senior player. Coming from a great Hawka family where his father and uncle played many games in the brown and gold, and having a mother who has been on various junior committee and senior committee roles to now senior team manager, Jake is continuing and maintaining the Mellis family tradition. Jake is a most talented player and brings with him team enthusiasm and culture that we would love to be able to bottle! We love Jake being at our club! A top bloke, a real team player and a bloody good old-fashioned player!!!
