Congratulations to Oliver Adriano who played his 100th game for the Kalamunda Cougars against Whitfords Warriors at MacDonald reserve in round 9.
Ollie is a rock-solid intercept defender with vice like hands and is reliable as ever. Quietly spoken but make no mistake he is ruthless on the field. He is a nightmare matchup for any opposition forward and is rarely beaten in one-on- one contests.
Ollie stands out from the crowd with his daring plays out of the back line and his ever-changing hair colour.
He has made a tremendous start to his career being voted most valuable player in a premiership year in his first season in colts. He obtained rare air with three premiership medallions in a five season span, (Colts 2021/22 & Reserves 2025). Probably one of the nicest blokes you’ll meet up the mountain, you wouldn’t hear a bad word said about him.
Well done, Ollie, you’ve been a massive part of the team’s defence over the years and you’re getting better each-and-every year. Keep driving those high standards you set every week and good luck in the future!!

Congratulations also to Jayden Finley who notched his 100th game for the Kalamunda Cougars when they played the Joondalup Jets at Emerald Reserve in round 9, 2026.
Jayden is a hard running wingman with great foot skills and an unshakeable confidence. Jayden is a two-way runner who gets back to help defend and sets up or finishes plays up forward. A great supporter of the club on and off the field and a popular and much-loved person amongst the playing group.
In 2023 he suffered a season ending injury resulting in surgery and missing the following season. That following year the club needed someone to step up and take on the coaching role for the thirds team. Without hesitation Jayden bravely put his hand up and dived straight into the deep end. Not being able to play, he still wanted to be involved and do whatever he could to help the club. Coaching can be a tough gig and while I think it was difficult early, as the season went on he grew into the role and took the team to the finals and restored hope and enjoyment within the team.
Well done, Jayden, you’ve been a great supporter of the club and overcome the adversity and challenges, which you should be bloody proud of. Go out there and break some opponent’s ankles, kick a few goals and enjoy your footy because you deserve it!!
