He was strong in defence that night, and the two votes he polled means he won't challenge former Saint Jason Blake for the most games played before polling on the AFL's night of nights.

Travis Boak polled 16 votes for the Power on Monday night, ahead of Robbie Gray and Brad Ebert.
Despite being named an All-Australian, Chad Wingard could only draw six votes from the umpires.
Fremantle's Nat Fyfe was the eventual winner, despite missing four games during the year.
