Group 1 Harry Burgess – bought by Kristan Wood

Harry Burgess
Harry Burgess
#45 Harry Burgess (VC)

As a first year Senior player, Harry was the club’s Best & Fairest winner in 2015. In fact, Harry has won the B&F in every team he has played in since 2011 (with the exception of 2013, which some would say was his most developmental year yet). Harry is a proven vote getter and is only getting better, as he has now taken on more responsibility and cemented himself as one the competition’s A+ players. ‘H’ is guaranteed to provide a healthy return so this one won’t go cheap!

Corey Burgess Already played several Senior games as an U19 and ready to step up again.
Damon Webb Back from a hiatus, this bloke is all class. Don’t be surprised to hear his name.
Matt Leeson After a short break in 2015, he has completed a full pre-season. Potential +
Aaron Seagrave Fresh into the Seniors, this kid has great skills and a lot of potential.
Sam Fung Under 19s player who is ridiculously fit and talented. Excitement machine!

Tom Dodd
#18 Tom Dodd

Joining us from Montrose and one of Boronia’s big recruits for 2016, Tom is one of the players who will always manage to get the job done. You will not only watch him take on opposition forwards and shut them down, but you’ll also witness this playmaker demonstrate class and creativity with his ball use. We’re excited about “Doddy” joining the club and you should be too. Spend up big!

Brendan Walsh
Brendan Walsh
#9 Brendan Walsh

“BT” made a massive impact to the side when joining Boronia in 2015. The big man predominantly locked down CHB last year, but as we have already seen this year, he is versatile and might move forward. He commands respect and is exactly what our young side needs, as he has a natural ability to lead from the front and maintain focus on the job that needs to be done. As soon as  “BT” hits his peak, BOG performances will become a common occurrence. A genuine gun!

Brenden Rapisarda The future is here and if this bloke fulfils his potential, anything is possible!
James Mueller (VC) Rock solid defender with terrific hands and a great strategic outlook.
Jordan Granland A future leader of the club with a lot of talent, developed through hard work.
Matt Brien A very handy player when he is free from injury…and free he is right now!

Group 5 Ben Robertson – bought by Kristan Wood

Ben Robertson

#TBA Ben Robertson

“Robbo” has returned home and already impressed after a HUGE pre-season. It has been a while since BFC has had a presence like this up forward. He is fit, strong and leads from the front with his imposing presence. Whilst missing the first few games with an unfortunate finger injury, don’t be put off because his absence will only emphasise his impact upon his return. There’s a buzz around the place at the moment and “Robbo” is a big reason for it.

Jesse Rosomacki The big man is back. If he fulfils his potential, the sky is the limit!
Matt Heenan “Crackers” has returned for another year and is already making a big impact.
Sam Griffiths-Lewino Returning player to the club – fitter than ever – versatile big man.
Matt Rech After a number of years away, Matt is back and keen to return to his best.
Jordon Zeug In the words of Brian Taylor: “Boy oh boy, wowee!” This guy is big and scary.

Vets Player: Macey Ryan


Group 6 Lachie McKernan – bought by Matt Heenan

Lachie McKernan
Lachie McKernan
#17 Lachlan McKernan (C)

Quite simply, “LMac” has consistently been one of the club’s best players of the past few seasons. He has completed a massive summer of fitness and is keen to take his footy to the next level in 2016. He is a prolific ball winner who knows what it takes to beat the best of the best. It is difficult to find genuine class like this and now that he is injury free and focused, it’s not hard to see that he is in for a dominant year. Dig deep and spend up big here.

Brenton McAlpine Previous B&F winner in various teams, “Hammer” is one of our prized players.
Chris McDonald These days he is wearing big boy pants and sporting a rig. Proven vote getter!
Ray McDonald A handy versatile player with a mature footy brain.
Sam McFadyen First year Senior, this big man has been super impressive duirng pre-season
Caelan Murrihy (C) Athletic tall guy in the 19s who could do anything. Ready for a massive year.

Vets Player: Brad Mills


Group 7 Jarrod Lake – bought by Jarrod Lake

Jarrod Lake
Jarrod Lake
#11 Jarrod Lake

Despite being a key figure in last year’s Senior side, “Lakey” was still technically an Under 19 player. However, after playing TAC Cup the previous year, it was obvious that he’s a rare talent and has since become one of Boronia’s most relied upon players. A year on and he is looking more dangerous, competitive and skilful. Without a doubt, he is the best Full Back in the competition and will be the talking point throughout the EFL. Here comes the money!

Jeremy Nelson Recruited from Ashwood FC, he is hard at it and vocal. Bound to impress!
Luke Biddau A former Eastern Ranges player. After a short stint at Olinda, he’s back home!
Jake Godwin Currently on the Eastern Ranges list, so brings genuine class when he plays.
Tyler Steele What an impressive tall player this young man is. Unlucky opposition ruck!
Brayden Wright Bottom age 19s but already pushing Senior selection – the kid is pure class.

Vets Player: Casey Bridges (Captain)


Group 8 Matt Geraghty – bought by Matt Geraghty

Matt Geraghty
Matt Geraghty
#22 Matt Geraghty

One of this year’s exciting recruits, ‘G’ joins the club from Montrose. He brings a wealth of knowledge due to his experience and valuable Division 1 experience. He is a hard attacking player with a polished left boot, and possesses a competitive edge to ensure his team enjoys success. As long he’s not falling asleep on the field or lost in a day dream about his better half, ‘G’ will provide enough focus and measure to get the attention of opposition…and those giving the votes! A wise investment!

Lachlan Watson Back from injury – quit fartin’ around Lach – get on ball and start dominating!
Nathan Watson Very few have the skill and athletic endurance of Watto. See above ?
Damon Fairchild The next Lachlan Watson – takes hangers and displays extraordinary talent.
Jacob Farrell He’s showing signs of his old man down back, shutting down the best forwards.
Anthony Biddau “Bones” is a very versatile and intelligent footballer. Expect to impress!

Vets Player: Pete Lewis


Group 9 Jess Bolton – bought by Scott Nicholas and David Nicholas

Jess Bolton
Jess Bolton
#14 Jess Bolton

When a player has been consistently dominant as long as Jess, it is hard to find more to say that hasn’t already been said. He is a star of our club and will be recognised for years to come. Jess won the Senior B&F in 2014 and polled extremely well in 2015, even after missing many games through work / injury. This year, he is fit and ready to lead from the front yet again. Expect this group to go at a big price!

Jacob Paterson He is so quick that he rarely has an opponent. The kid can play and loves a snag!
Jacob Reddaway A sneaky, yet classy left footer who has already proven his worth in the Seniors.
Mitch Agars An elusive first year Senior player who ready to breakthrough at any moment.
Michael Smith Played his first Senior game as an U17 last year and is a star in the making.
Zack Brasher An extremely skilful and talented small man who we welcomed in 2015.

Group 10 Andy Phillips – bought by Brad Phillips

Andy Phillips
Andy Phillips
#6 Andy Phillips

Andy didn’t get to play a whole lot of Under 19 footy because his unique talent was recognised early. In his third season of Senior footy, he is only now technically of Senior age. Wow! Don’t let his nice façade fool you. When Andy crosses that line, he is the ultimate professional and competitor. He actively seeks to improve at every opportunity, and having natural speed and skill like he does, it is a recipe for dominance. Start the bidding high!

Justin Wade Fearless and a workhorse, “Wadey” is hard to stop. A pleasure to watch!
Kieran Phillips Fit, skilful, great hands – let’s hope he finds the consistency he is capable of!
Stuart Masson A new player to the club who is bound to make an early impression.
Josh Guest “Guesty” is one to watch. A handy midfielder who is ready to step up.
Jayden Purdon A very smooth wingman who wins the footy well and loves to run.

Vets Player: Rod Allison


Group 11 Ryan Henderson – bought by Ryan Henderson

Ryan Henderson
Ryan Henderson
#1 Ryan Henderson

It is amazing how much this club relies on “Hendo” and yet he just takes it in his stride. He is our main ruckman and plays his best footy when his back is against the wall. Fans of the ‘Hawka’ will be keen to see what this big man can deliver this year because he has been progressively developing into a star over the past few seasons. He will be asked by the coaching staff to give plenty and he will deliver. Get your support behind the great man!

Travis Murphy Recruited from last year’s Division 3 premiership squad at Mitcham FC
Gerard Petrie Brother of Drew, this bloke’s only downfall is that barracks for Melbourne.
Matt Neve U19 captain in 2015 and now a Senior player. Rock solid backman with class.

Zach Callinan
Zach Callinan
#23 Zach Callinan

At a young age, Zach has managed to become a player that is well known to BFC supporters due to his blistering speed and ability to create something out of nothing. He is one of those players that fires a team up when he produces something special. Well, this year you can expect to see all that and much more. He has significantly bulked up and looks like a man on a mission. Zach is worthy of your support!

Sean Bell Blistering speed and reads the play like no other. Breakthrough year ahead.
Brock Jones New player to the club who shows a lot of promise. Big work ethic and tough!
Matthew Veale A new player to the club who is looking fit and showing plenty of promise.

Group 13 Luke Leeson – bought by Chris McDonald

Luke Leeson
Luke Leeson
#27 Luke Leeson

Luke is one of the more experienced members of the Senior squad so he’ll be heavily relied upon this year. One of the most courageous and versatile players at the club, he constantly seeks to take his footy to the next level. He is looking fitter than ever and it is predicted that he will have the ball in his hands quite often this season. If you’re looking for a player that is due to stand out, look no further.

Nathan Walsh One of the handy recruits who will clearly make huge impressions this year.
Jaryn Darsa Let’s hope we see this pure talent take on Senior footy like we know he can.
Dylan Armstrong The ever-reliable player who knows what it takes to get the job the done.

Vets Player: Darren Hansby

Dain Catley

 

#36 Dain Catley

Dain is a Boronia boy through and through, and there are few that want to see the success of this club more than him. He is one of the hardest working individuals you will come across and consistently takes his games to new heights. The term ‘fearless’ is almost an understatement when it comes to Dain, as he will barrel into packs head first and often come out with the ball. Inspiration plus!

 Ryan Warren “Shagga” is living up to his potential and playing some great footy. Kid can play
Dane Romano  Rock solid and consistent big man. He will be back from injury in no time.
 Dylan Dower Versatile due to raw strength and talent. Plays his best through the midfield.
 Tyler Dower Rock solid backman who gets the job done. Every team needs a Tyler Dower.
 Zach Dower Watching Zach play on ball is an absolute treat. Skilful, athletic and courageous

#26 Sam Goldsack

The club welcome’s this former Boronia and Eastern Ranges player back to the club after some time off to focus on rehab, work and falling in love. As a 16 year old, Sam transferred to the club to play U19 footy, as he wanted a bigger challenge. This guy reeks of class. He is a prolific ball magnet, an absolute workhorse and has the skills to match. The future only gets brighter for this young gun!

Mitch Smart He’s back!! Gun key forward who takes big marks and kicks goals. Get excited.
Ryan Black How can one player have such little experience and be so good – future gun!
Scott Le Marquand The comeback kid has more courage than most blokes. Inspiring stuff, Scotty!
Ryan White The next Dean Grice – seriously, he is that good! Dual Ray Lacey medallist.
Jake Whitmore Few love the game more. A dangerous left footer who puts the team first.
