MVP PAFC B&F 2025 - Congratz Butters (AFL) & Watkins (SANFL)

[RussellEbertHandball]

Well done Zak on thanking the events team for putting on the night. They don't get many public thanks.

 

[portmantwo]

Listen to the way Zak speaks, he's the actual captain

 

[Waspy79]

Questionable voting system and enormous injury toll if Smokin’ Joe Richards can come fourth in a BnF.

 

[It Just Is]

lol dbj 7th jones 8th and wines 10th haha carn

I thought Wines might be higher. He had a pretty good year, very consistent.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Josh Lai in the top 5 in his first season is good. Surely will debut barring injuries next year and hopefully takes over from Bergman as that medium sized intercepting defender. Has the skills pace to do it. Just needs a good run.

 

[Lefti93]

Hammer is winning me over.

I didn't watch, but interested in why you say this?

 

[Powerade 08]

Donna mentioned

 

[RossFC]

I had Sweet and Rioli in my top 10, not Richards and Jones.

He spoke like a real leader of men, acknowledged we didn't meet the club's standards of success this year, and demonstrated commitment to achieving success in the future

Toasties

Jones must have fumbled his way into the top 10.

 

[kgerlach01]

Should be Tredders award for AFL leading goal kicker. Tim Evans award for SANFL leading goal kicker.

**** it, the Clive Waterhouse award

Spoke exactly the way you would expect a Port Adelaide coach to speak, respectfully about the club.

Does Zak have a cold or did he shovel the rest of his bag up his nose before that speech?

 

[JimmyBC]

He actually said Donna makes them toasties in a B&F acceptance speech

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

In previous years 0-5 votes x 4 voting = 20 maximum votes for a game has been the norm but it changes too often.

This year it was this system.

Last year it was 0-5 votes x 3 voting = 15 maximum votes.

Top 5 2024 max 15 votes per game
Butters 159
JHF .... 152
Aliir .... 129
Rozee 118
Houston 117

Top 5 2025 max 20 votes per game
Butters 134
Georgi 118
Rozee 117
Richards 84
Aliir..... 73

Maths Science students can do some sort of regression analysis on the 2 years with different maximum votes.

We're a meme not a footy club

He was emotional.... you could tell especially getting up to Ken. Holding it back as best as he could.

 

[JimmyBC]

I think a number of us have said Hinkley will never be seen at the club again, I think pissing off home early is a good indicator of this.

Guess the free Pepsi Max or Coke Zero wasn't enough in the end.

god I hope it was coke and not this.

Don't be stupid.. seriously.. He's still only young ffs and he's a competitor. This year and the last part of it would rock majority of people and as much as we may not like Ken.. Zak did and that clearly means a lot for 18 year olds coming from another state and having the years under that. It's just normal.

Plot twist revealed in his autobiography when he retires and that he was crying because it meant Port can actually play its best team for once and not give golden passes and contend for a flag.

Well if Butters and others say Carr is ruthless then I don't see Golden passes to many players. Even Mead. They'll be fighting from now on and pushing harder. That just needs to be passed onto the entire squad and engraved into them. Time will tell.

Crying over a coach leaving, which was announced at the start of the season, please.

if true, that doesn’t fill me with any confidence.

I thought Connor was meant to be the soft one.
