APPOINTMENT OF MEN’S COACHES
Tag Archives: Veterans
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS | THE VETS ARE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Our Boronia Veterans Team has rescheduled the fixture to play four huge night games under lights at Tormore. Forget AFL Friday Night Football – these blokes are the real deal.
PLAYER SPONSOR | AWESOME CONVEYANCING
Thank you to KRYSTAL O’TOOLE and AWESOME CONVEYANCING for Player Sponsorship of STEVE O’REILLY for the 2024 season.
Steve O’Reilly is one of the most reliable and dependable defenders at the club in the last 25 to 30 years. Our records don’t go back far enough to paint a true picture of his career, but we have him on 178 Senior games and 59 Vets games. He has won the Vets B&F 4 times and still appears to be ageless.
PREMIERSHIP CUPS ON TOUR | Stonewood Paving & Landscaping
Another one of own giving back to the club. Darran Hansby is a current Men’s Veterans player who also happens to run and own Stonewood Paving & Landscaping. A BRONZE sponsor who also has been a co-sponsor of our Stubby Holders for the past few years.
He was a hard man to catch but we finally cornered him down at Tormore between jobs to share with him our Premiership success and grab a photo.
Stonewood Paving & Landscaping is a local business who pride themselves in transforming front & backyards into something special. Darran comes highly recommended from our members and sponsors who have used his services. We encourage you to give him a call if you are thinking about getting your yard landscaped for the summer.
Thanks Darran for your ongoing support!
PREMIERSHIP CUPS ON TOUR | Awesome Conveyancing
It was great to catch up with Krystal at Awesome Conveyancing who are our Junior and Men’s Veterans jumper sponsor.

SUPERCOACH BOWS OUT | GREG JOSEPH
This Friday Night under lights at Tormore Reserve, we come together to bid a heartfelt farewell to our Men’s Vets Coach, Greg “Supercoach” Joseph.
After eight remarkable years at the helm, Joey has decided to hang up his white board and embark on a well-deserved coaching retirement.
Although we feel a tinge of sadness, it is with immense gratitude we celebrate what he leaves behind. Through his leadership and support, he has cultivated a team of has-beens and misfits, transforming them into a tightly-knit bunch of blokes that stands as a testament to his remarkable character.
And though success may not have always followed, it is important to recognize that the true measure of a coach lies not solely in the number of trophies but in the laughs and fun the players had on your journey. The impact Joey has had on this club cannot be overstated. He fostered a culture of camaraderie, resilience, and mateship, traits that will continue to shape the Vets long after his departure.
His departure leaves a void that cannot be easily filled, but we know that you leave with your head held high and the knowledge that you have positively impacted the blokes around you. Your legacy will live on in the memories, the stories, the spirit and the sportsmanship of Boronia Vets and we are thankful that you will still be around the club offering support. Hopefully, the boys will put in another solid performance on Friday and send you out on a winning note.
Thanks Joey. #Supercoach #Mateship
