Congratulations to Rachael Slater who will play her first VFLW game with Port Melbourne on Friday night at the famous North Port Oval.
Rachael has been an outstanding player for the Hawks since joining us in 2021, winning two Ellen Johnson Medals as senior B&F.
We wish her the very best of luck for this very exciting opportunity. Rachael is proudly sponsored by Scott Nicholas and the Hawks Nest Coterie Group.
Hawks Nest Coterie Group has provided magnificent support to the football club for many years. A few years ago they also started supporting our Junior teams and now we are very proud to announce the Coterie is providing financial support to our Women’s Football Program through Player Sponsorships.
Four of our leading players have been selected as the public faces of this new partnership. We thank Robert Kimmitt and Leanne Rech from the Coterie committee for their willingness to embrace the support of the Women’s Program, particularly this season in Premier Division.
Congratulations to RACHAEL SLATER who has been officially listed by Port Melbourne Football Club for the 2024 VFLW season.
This will come as no surprise to those who saw Rach in action in our 2023 Premiership year, where she collected her second Ellen Johnson Medal for club B&F. We all wish Rachael the very best of luck for this very exciting opportunity. GO SLATES!!!

Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce the recommitment of two of the break out players from the 2023 Premiership season. Please congratulate Rach and Quirky.
Rachael Slater is one of the EFNL’s best young talents and almost capped off the perfect season in 2023 finishing with Blue Ribbon Medal in the Grand Final, a Premiership medallion, a second consecutive Ellen Johnson Medal and finishing second in the league Best & Fairest. Rachael is powerful, aggressive and only getting better and we can’t wait to see where she takes her footy in 2024!
Rach Quirk’s combination of athleticism, fierce attack on the ball and willingness to do all the 1%’s to make the team better added a huge amount to the squad in 2023. Finishing third in the league Best & Fairest and named Ruck in the Team of the Year, Quirky will only keep getting better!
Congratulations to Rachel Slater for being awarded the Blue Ribbon Medal for her outstanding Best on Ground performance in the Division 1 Grand Final.

Congratulations Rachael on a great game to cap off your season!
