Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is excited to welcome Xavier Lane to the club from the Yackandandah Football Club.
At just 19 years of age, Xavier arrives as a bright young prospect with strong credentials. In 2023, he capped off an outstanding season by winning Yackandandah’s Under 17 Best and Fairest, while also finishing runner-up in the League Under 17 Best and Fairest. Over the past two seasons, Xavier has gained valuable experience playing across both the Senior and Reserves levels, demonstrating his development, competitiveness, and readiness to take the next step in his football journey. Known for his work rate, consistency, and team-first attitude, he brings both talent and maturity beyond his years.
We’re thrilled to have Xavier join the Boronia Hawks and look forward to watching him continue to grow and make his mark in the brown and gold. Welcome to the Hawka, Xavier!
We’re thrilled to announce that Tom Gasparroni has recommitted to Boronia Hawks for the 2026 Season.
After an injury interrupted first half of 2025, Tom showed exactly what he’s capable of once he got going, especially in our Final, where he was one of our best players on the day. His impact, work rate and competitiveness gave us a real lift when it mattered most.
Tom is now injury free and tearing up the track and we can’t wait to see what he delivers with a full, uninterrupted pre season behind him.
The Hawks are very happy to have Tyson lining up again in the coming season. He plays as a rock steady defender from either the key positions or the flanks and sets up the play for the transition.
The Hawks are very pleased to have Noah back for the 2026 season. He always brings a lot to the team with good skills by hand or foot, and an ability and mindset to set up attacks from half-back or the wing.
The Hawks are very pleased that Corey will be back in action in 2026. Capable of playing up or back, Corey will be looking to shrug off a bad run with injuries and get back to playing consistent footy again next season.
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 thrilled to welcome Blair Hudson to the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club for the 2026 season!
Blair brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Hawks, having spent nine seasons at Norwood, where he played over 100 senior games in Premier Division. A respected figure around the club, Blair was part of Norwood’s leadership group and served as vice-captain, twice finishing top five in the Best & Fairest.
In 2024, Blair joined Heathmont and made an immediate impact, finishing the season as the club’s leading goal kicker.
We’re excited to see Blair in brown and gold, bringing his strong work ethic, footy smarts, and proven leadership to the Hawks.
Welcome to Boronia, Blair and a warm welcome also to his partner, Madison.
Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Danny Fotinatos as our new Men’s Development Coach for the 2026 season.
Danny joins the Club from the Whitehorse Pioneers Football Club, where he has captained their Development Team for the past four seasons. During his time at Whitehorse, Danny established himself as a respected leader, known for his professionalism, composure, and ability to inspire those around him.
Danny brings with him fresh perspectives and valuable insights from a club that has been on the rise in recent years. His leadership experience and deep understanding of the game will make him an outstanding addition to our Men’s coaching group.
Throughout the recruitment process, Danny impressed with his emphasis on developing strong relationships with players. He has a proven record of leading teams in a way that balances high performance with personal growth, and he understands the importance of fostering a positive, accountable, and connected team culture.
Danny’s coaching philosophy is grounded in setting clear standards, building accountability, and uniting players around a shared vision for success. He values clear, consistent, and respectful communication, ensuring that players understand their roles, receive constructive feedback, and feel confident to ask questions.
His adaptable communication style — whether working with players, fellow coaches, parents, or community members — enables him to build trust and rapport across all levels of the club.
The Boronia Hawks FNC is excited to welcome Danny and his partner Steph to the Hawka Nest and we look forward to the energy, leadership, and passion he will bring to our club.
We’re confident that Danny will play an integral role in continuing to strengthen our Men’s football program and in shaping the next generation of Hawks.
