It's yet more recognition for Byrne-Jones' superb year, after he also claimed his first ever AFL All-Australian blazer following a reliable campaign where he averaged 16.9 disposals per match.
The 25-year-old polled best and fairest votes in 18 of Port Adelaide's 19 matches throughout the season, displaying his remarkable consistency as the club won its fourth minor premiership before bowing out in the preliminary finals.
Boak (136 votes) finished in second place, but also claimed the Fos Williams Medal for the best team man, while captain Tom Jonas (129 votes) was third after another solid season in the backline.
Young midfielder Zak Butters finished just outside the top-three with 121 votes, but was recognised for his breakout season with the Gavin Wanganeen Award as the club's best player under the age of 21.
