Senior Men's & Women's Football and Netball, Junior Boys & Girls Football, Auskick and over 35's Veterans and Masters Football. Affiliated with EFNL. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land in Boronia.
Round 12 marks a special moment for Max Collins and the entire Boronia Hawks community as he makes his senior debut for the club.
Max is the current Under 19s Captain, a leader who has progressed through our junior ranks. In 2023, he was recognised across the league when he claimed the EFNL Under 17.5 league Best and Fairest, a reflection of just how influential he’s been on the field. The Collins name is one of the biggest at Boronia. Max continues a proud family legacy and tomorrow he’ll run out alongside his brother Jayden Collins, a three-time senior premiership player. Congratulations Max. We’re all behind you.
In Round 12 we celebrate a special milestone for one of our most loyal and respected Hawks. Brenton McAlpine will run out for his 150th game for the Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club.
Brenton started his journey with the club back in 2006 as a junior, and he’s worn the brown and gold with pride ever since. Over the years, he’s grown into a consistent senior player, a team leader, and a great role model for others across the club.
His career highlights include: • Under 15’s Best and Fairest in 2009 • Under 16’s Best and Fairest in 2010 • Under 19’s Best and Fairest in 2013 • Senior debut in 2014 • Senior Coach’s Award in 2015 • Member of the 2018 Senior Premiership team • 100th senior game in 2019.
And now reaching 150 total club games but Brenton’s contribution goes far beyond his playing record. Off the field, he’s a dedicated volunteer and much-loved Auskick coach, giving up his time to help develop the next generation of young Hawks. He sets a fantastic example through both his actions and his attitude.
Congratulations Brenton on reaching 150 games. You’re a fantastic footballer, a selfless teammate, and someone the entire club is proud of. We’re incredibly lucky to have you at Boronia. Let’s all get around him this weekend.
This week, 2018 Premiership Captain Lachie McKernan plays his 150th match wearing the brown and gold.
LMac has been instrumental in establishing a team-oriented culture that has facilitated our club’s very good name within the EFNL. LMac has been a leader of men, a bloody fine player, and a great support to the coaching staff throughout his career at Boronia.
A tough, uncompromising onballer who always played team-oriented football. LMac retired from senior football with much petrol still in the tank for family and business reasons at the end of 2021, but has returned this season to help with our transition into Div 1. Many of his leadership dispositions are still seen and lived through Harry Burgess, Luke Hannon, and Ryan White as LMac’s legacy will be long-standing.
We congratulate LMac on 150 great games at The Hawka, and we thank and acknowledge his contribution to the broader growth of our club.
A huge congratulations to Jack Rankin on playing his 50th game for the Boronia Hawks FNC! A ripping young fella, who has a crack every time he puts on the brown and gold.
The Board of the BHFNC is delighted to bestow the honour of unfurling our 2024 Senior Men’s Premiership Flag to our much-loved Life Member, Frank Carroll.
Frank first arrived at the club as the father of premiership player and former Bob Henry Medallist David ‘Shadow’ Carroll, and soon transitioned into a committee member, long-term sponsor, and then President of our Club.
I encourage all former players and supporters of our club to get to Millers Reserve this Saturday to observe Frankie pulling the cord and acknowledging the success of our 2024 season.
