Opportunities to Help the Hawks in Key Roles
The Club’s AGM is coming up very soon and we already have nominees willing to stand for many roles. But we also have vacancies where we are looking for Club members to take us forward in to 2019. We seek expressions of interest from all sections of our Club: seniors or juniors, football or netball, men’s or women’s teams. All our volunteers work together to support and guide newbies!
If you would like to become more involved in our great Club please have a word with Kristan Wood, Ellisa Schmidtke or any of our current Board or senior and junior committee members. (Scott Nicholas is off in Nepal right now, so you can contact Dave Nicholas instead).
Roles without any nominees at the moment are:
- Director, Inclusion / Community;
- Senior Secretary;
- Junior Treasurer;
- Sponsorship Manager;
- Merchandise Manager;
- General Committee members for both Juniors and Seniors.
Some of these roles used to be big and scary, but we have managed to share the load and set up processes to make our administrative jobs much easier than they once were. It is all about TEAMWORK. We would love to hear from you!

Seniors Match Report: Boronia v Chirnside Park
Today the Hawker played the Chirnside Park Football Club, a club that had not won a game this season and in the past couple of weeks has lost a number of senior players.
No one wants to see a side win by 200+ points but from a positive point of view the Hawker never took the foot off the throat of their opposition and the opposition never stopped trying from the first bounce to the final siren. The game was played in good spirits by both sides all day. With the Hawker having 13 individual goal kickers and obviously a very good team performance, this was the Hawkers’ biggest win for some time with The Hawker running out winners by 210 points.
I would like to highlight Jess Bolton as it was fitting to see the local champ celebrate his 150th for the Hawker in style. Bolts in my opinion is in the top two players to play for the Hawker over the past fifteen years. Two time Bob Henry Best & Fairest winner & runner up a number of times; five time team of the year for EFL 3rd division. Jess also played a couple of seasons for Casey and East Burwood in his early days which would see his senior game tally up over 220 games. Jess is a long time Boronia Hawker coming through our junior program. He has coached a number of his team mates in juniors a couple of years ago to help align our Junior / Senior pathways. This alignment forms the building blocks to the Club’s foundation to build sustained prosperity & success in the future.
Well Done Bolts, A great Hawker.
17 rounds down 1 to go, then off to the finals for the first time in a couple of years, the hard work starts this week against the top side.

Round 15 Under 19’s Match Report: Boronia v FTG
This week, we played Ferntree Gully who haven’t recorded as many wins as they probably would have liked. Either way, our team was out for redemption from our previous week’s loss.
The game started strong with a couple of fluent clearances and shots on goal. We emphasised the need to find our key forwards and looked dangerous when we did, especially with Bakes powering out of the forward line. Our mids got on top early with Jake, Harry, Trent and Hoff finding plenty of it. After being freed up from Saturday detention, Benny Anderson had a big role to play in the ruck all day, coming up against two taller players. He immediately made an impact around the ground with various intercept marks. Although we got a little lazy with our entries and subsequently kicked a few too many behinds, our impact on the game was significant at quarter time.
Ferntree Gully had the wind in the second and they managed to get some score on the board. Our backmen were keeping tight though and some excellent rebounding from Brody, Will, Sturds, Dos and Lee allowed us to move the ball into the wind with effective run and carry. Some quick switching to our runners, such as Cambo, Ryan and Johnny allowed our entries to improve. The half time break came around with a promising lead, although we weren’t completely.satisfied that we’d found our best footy yet.
The third quarter provided a few players with new opportunities, such as Milky moving into the middle. His work around the contest was sensational, particularly with selfless acts to support his teammates. The likes of Lukey Slater, Connor, Tuna and Jacko started to really impact the game, as did Under 17 fill ins, Kyle Schmidtke and Heath Rouse. Despite Ferntree Gully remaining strong, we opened up the gap to a healthy lead at 3 quarter time.
The fourth quarter saw some gutsy efforts and a bit of physicality. We remained disciplined though and moved the ball well. Ferntree Gully added a few more goals to their tally, but we ensured that we balanced it out with a few of our own. A very satisfying win and a basis for our next couple of weeks.

Seniors Match Report for Round 15: Boronia v FTG
We hosted Ferntree Gully Eagles Football Club on Saturday, who 12 months ago gave the Hawker a football lesson on our home deck for the first 3 quarters until the Hawker over ran them in the last. With finals like weather, could the Hawker build on last week’s form?
Great conditions greeted the players at the start of the first quarter. The Hawker were first out of the blocks with Buzz kicking 3 goals in the first 15 minutes. Zac Robbo added another with a talented kick over his head while on the ground. Big Robbo and Josh Hannon added to the Hawker total. We had good players all over the ground, with consistent ball movement while kicking with a slight breeze. The backline, in conjunction with the midfield, kept the Eagles to one goal kicked on the quarter time siren. The Hawker took a handy 34 point lead into the 1stbreak.
The second quarter was much like the first with the Hawker putting strong forward pressure on the Eagles backline. This was enforced at the 7 minute mark by young Chinny’s chase and tackle having an Eagles player caught holding the ball in the scoreboard end forward pocket. The resulting free kick put through for a skilful goal to reward Chinny for the fantastic run and pressure. Zac Robbo kicked another 2 goals and The Lake Show ran down from full back not just once but twice to mark and kick truly to add to the Eagles woes. The quarter was finished off by a late goal to Josh Hannon for his second of the day to give the Hawker a 64 point lead over the Eagles at the main break.
Into the 3rd quarter and the question was: will the Hawker relax or will they keep the pressure on the Eagles? It wasn’t long until we found out as Buzz slotted his fourth for the day 90 seconds into the 3rd, followed by Josh Hannon who kicked his 3rdgoal. Big Robbo and Hendo chimed in for goals to extend the Hawkers’ lead to 91 points. The Hawker had winners in every position and transitioned the ball between the arcs with skill and team work.
At the start of the last quarter the Hawker were down a few numbers on the bench with a couple of players rested. It would be a gruelling last 25 minutes for a couple of players who would have to run out the quarter without a rotation. The Eagles came out hard and were showing strong commitment at the contest but the Hawker were up to the challenge to control the last quarter. Full credit to the Eagles who out scored the Hawker in the last but the damage was done and the Hawker ran out victors by 78 points.
Five Points
- Finals weather and team footy on display.
- Ruthers did not miss a beat on Saturday after missing most of the season.
- 3 strong consistent quarters of footy.
- Greyhounds Chin and Phillips very impressive.
- The Buzz (nothing else to say).
