Byrne-Jones was a clear stand out against the Saints, with his repeated efforts and defensive pressure giving him the nod from the fans.
The 24-year old was the leading possession getter for the Power, finishing the night with 21 disposals.
The 2019 best and fairest runner up was impressive across defence, collecting eight intercepts and 18 pressure acts.
Young wingman, Xavier Duursma came in second in the fans vote.
Duursma’s goal late in the third quarter to bring the margin back to just one point at the final break was a highlight of the night.
The roar from the home crowd was electric as the 21-year old brought out his iconic bow and arrow goal celebration.
As well as his goal, Duursma was lively up forward with five score involvements and he finished the night with 12 disposals.
Coming in third in the voting was Sam Powell-Pepper.
The midfielder started the game red hot, kicking the Power’s first goal of the night with a nice snap from the pocket.
Powell-Pepper finished the night with 12 disposals, five tackles and eight contested possessions to go with his 1.2 on the scoreboard.
Rounding out the voting was Brad Ebert, Tom Jonas, Dan Houston, Peter Ladhams and Ollie Wines.
This week the Power heads back up to Queensland to take on Melbourne at the Gabba on Thursday night.
