    NOW to sometime later in the year (maybe) - Talk about anything

    Boronia has been there before, many times over recent years. Our thinking will continue to be about building a strong pathway that retains and attracts players at junior and youth level. It doesn't always pan out well, but I suspect that most clubs would probably have a similar approach. Thanks...

    NOW to sometime later in the year (maybe) - Talk about anything

    Boronia has recently struggled with junior numbers like many other clubs. The club now has a number of homegrown bottom age 19's for next year who are keen to continue their footy with their mates and move from the juniors to seniors at the one club. However, there are not enough of those...

    2025 player moves - ins and outs

    Your source was incorrect and was speaking more with hope than knowledge! Boronia has a good relationship with Liam, but a Premier Division team would always be an attractive proposition.

    No, the funding covers the pavilion only. The surface at Tormore was generally good throughout this season but clearly didn't cope with the wear and tear of the Division 1 finals series and the sustained heavy rain overnight and during the grand final day. Some suggest the grass was cut too...

    All major infrastructure projects from the outgoing government were subject to assessment by the incoming government. That's a normal process. Many projects were scrapped, but the Tormore Reserve project was approved on its merits.

    Thanks for your kind words. Like all the Boronia Faithful, I am very happy tonight and extremely proud of the club and our players, coaches, volunteers and sponsors. A lot of hard work by some very good people has been rewarded. GO HAWKA!!!

    All is on track. Demolition of the existing pavilion is due to commence soon after the completion of the Division 1 finals series at Tormore Reserve. The construction work has been put to tender and is expected to commence in early October 2024. The club presented the detailed plans for the new...

    Just to clarify Bunk, the ENFL receives the gate takings for finals. Host clubs retain the net takings on bar, canteen and BBQ and pay a licence fee to the league for the right to host finals, amongst other operating costs. Profitability of the finals series is generally dependent on the...

    Boronia identified a gap in our junior numbers back in 2017 that would put our future Under 19's at risk. As one club, juniors and seniors, we worked very hard to build our junior numbers to fill that gap, but junior players were prepared to join other clubs when they they thought Boronia would...

    Just to clarify the comment regarding UFTG: Max Brasher joined Boronia to play with his brother Zack; and Luke Flanagan returned to Boronia where he had played 150+ junior games.

    Every team playing practice matches is missing players of course. Boronia hopes to get a few back next week for our second practice match against Old Carey.

    Some years ago a junior coach at Boronia changed clubs, taking half a dozen players with him. The remaining team then struggled for numbers and eventually couldn't field a team. That team should have been the core of our 2022 Under 19's. We hope to bounce back with the under 19's very soon as...

    Boronia hosted an Essendon v North Melbourne practice match at Tormore Reserve during the '90's. I recall that Michael Long kicked a sensational running goal in front of the rooms. A very good crowd in attendance.

    The scores are very slow to update on the EFNL site, so if you're interested Boronia 11.19 85 d Heathmont 6.9 45.

    I think all clubs may be struggling for numbers Cliff. A spate of mid-season injuries is normal and then Covid, flu and overseas travel take their toll as well. Boronia was missing 21 listed players as ill or injured across firsts and seconds today, with one in the UK. That's how it goes.

    We very much appreciate your feedback on a good afternoon at the club. I will pass your message on to Flash and co.

    I used to publish our scores on Twitter, as many clubs did. I believe the EFNL wanted us to focus on GameDay updates instead. Our supporters seem to prefer score updates via our Facebook page and don’t use GameDay or Twitter for that purpose.

    Thanks for the feedback Cliff. We had a volunteer who did the GameDay updates for the first time today. It was a bit of learning curve as he missed the button that said "Update Scores" for the first and second quarters. I helped him to fix it at half time. This was the first game that I...
