🏉 MILESTONE MATCH 🏉

Congratulations to Blake Evans, who will officiate his 150th match today in the Fremantle Derby.

Debuting in R15 2016, almost 10 years on Blake will umpire his 150th league game. Blake has built an impressive umpiring career across the WAFL system, including appointments to the 2018 Colts Grand Final, recognition with the 2018 Ross Capes Medal (Pre-Season Field Umpire), and the 2022 Brett Rosebury Medal for Most Improved Field Umpire.

A huge achievement to reach 150 games on one of the biggest stages in WA football.

Congratulations Blake.

Cadmon Reaches 50 ⭐️⭐

Joining the WAFL Umpires Association in 2019 from Swan Districts, Cadmon has steadily progressed through the ranks, earning appointments to both Colts and Reserves Grand Finals. In 2025, he was selected as the emergency Goal Umpire for the WAFL League Grand Final, and more recently served as the emergency Goal Umpire for the WAFL v SANFL State Game.

Congratulations Cadmon. We look forward to seeing what the future holds.

A fantastic achievement — well done Cam

250 Games 👏

This weekend, Ben Laycock officiates his 250th WAFL game — a remarkable milestone recognising years of hard work, dedication and service to the game.

Congratulations Ben on an incredible achievement 👏

250 AFL/WAFL games 👏

This week, Josh Garrett reaches the milestone of 250 AFL/WAFL games — an incredible achievement recognising years of dedication, professionalism and commitment to umpiring at the highest level.

Josh commenced his umpiring journey with the WANFLUA in 2012 before making his AFL debut in Round 1, 2016.

His outstanding career includes 2 WAFL League Grand Finals, Devine Medallist (Boundary Umpire of the Year) – 2015, plus much more.

Congratulations Josh on an outstanding milestone 👏

⭐100 Up for Foulk⭐

The WANFLUA would like to congratulate WAFL Boundary Umpire, Bailey Foulk, who will officiate in his 100th W/AFL match this weekend in the game between East Fremantle and Perth at Good Grocer Park.

Since his first game back in Round one, 2021, Bailey has been as reliable as they come, and this weekend he brings up a big one, game number 100.

His consistency and work ethic have been huge in getting him to this milestone. Bailey’s been trusted on the big stage too, umpiring the last four WAFL League Grand Finals, and since making his AFL debut in late 2025, he’s already had a taste of the top level with two AFL games.

He’s also having another strong year in 2026, leading from the front in the High-Performance boundary group and setting a great example both on and off the field. Bailey’s someone who’s always looking to get better and bring others along with him, which is why he’s so well respected in the group.

100 games is a massive effort and a credit to the way he goes about it.

Congrats on the milestone and all the best this weekend!
