Congratulations to Caleb Boyd who played his 100th game for the Kalamunda Cougars when the Cougars took on the Joondalup Jets in round 13, 2025 at Emerald Reserve in Joondalup.
Caleb is an explosive midfielder/forward who brings high intensity and hits the contest hard, at times uses his body as a battering ram. Great at applying pressure, locking it in the forward line and tackles hard making defenders feel jittery and treading ever so carefully.
Off the field he is a part of the social committee and for the last few years has volunteered his time regularly to help the club behind the scenes. Has been involved at the club for nine seasons now and while recently his FIFO work makes it difficult to be there every week it doesn’t detract from his commitment to be there for the club when he can.
Well done Boydy, love your attack on the ball and the relentless effort you give for your team and for your help that you provide off the field. We look forward to your future with our club!
Congratulations to Kyden Bradley who played his 50th game for the Kalamunda Cougars in round 13, 2025 when the Cougars took on the Joondalup Jets at Emerald Reserve in Joondalup.
Kyden is a tough and smart midfielder who reads the play well, getting in the right spots to link up as an option and then generating an attack into the forward line. He puts his head over the football and plays with no fear and while he may cop some big hits on occasion, he never backs down and gives it his best each week.
Well done, Bradles, I admire the guts and determination you play with each and every time you lace up the boots. Go well for the future mate!
Congratulations go to Ben Hopkins who played his 50th game for the Kalamunda Cougars against the Joondalup Jets in round 13, 2025 at Emerald Reserve in Joondalup.
Ben is a hard-nosed defender who thrives for the contest, consistently pushing the limits to improve his performance each and every week. His ability to shut down his direct opponent and then generate run off half back is elite. He is a versatile player who can play on the tall key position players and the fast small forwards.
Well done, Hoppy, love the way you play and the toughness you bring to the team. Hopefully coach gives you a crack up forward and you can finally get that first goal you’ve been longing for. Go well in your future with the Cougars!
Congratulations also to Declan Cowin who played his 50th game for the Kalamunda Cougars against the Roleystone Tigers in round 13, 2025 at Cross Park in Roleystone.
Declan is a towering presence in the middle with the ability to grind his opponent into the dirt with his high work rate and running power around the ground. He is a go to option for kicks coming out of defence, capable of taking crucial strong contested marks or creating a contest to give his team the upper hand.
A humble and respectful gentle giant off the field but a fierce competitor on the field who hates losing. Declan is a true clubman who will be a great asset to our club for many years to come.
Well done DC, love the passion and mindset you bring each week. Keep up your good work and have a great future with the cougars!
