You have the Williams family stand, maybe the Phillips family stand? After Erin and Greg? Motley has the Race, Williams’ the stand, Quinn the Clubrooms stand, Ebert the Statue, Wanganeen the Stand at AO, FOS the SoO Best player and the Stand at AO also, Evans and Hodges ends?

Cahill, Tredrea, Phillips x2, Boak probably all deserve something in their honour.

The John and Danny Butcher Family Stand.
 
Graham and Kane wouldn't want their name on a stand at Alberton. Boak can have the 'most fittest' award named after him for BnFs

Travis Boak Gym would be legitimately fitting.

I’m not particularly fussed overall. I lost faith in these processes when the club named the 2010 extension to the Allan Scott HQ after Choco, when a zillion other things are named after the Williamses.

And what did Jack get at Adelaide Oval? A ‘room’ shared with Andrew McLeod while Oatey got on the main stand?

Lol.
 
And why not ?

They won’t play an AFL game there if it’s not Port, as the club will just get inconvenienced in terms of training prior to the game, and not get any of the romanticised elements of playing there. That’s why the SANFL grounds are fair game, the league has a bye during Gather Round. And there’s no chance the AFL is taking either SA club out of Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. Too many local fans, plus the draw card of experiencing a Port or a Crows game at the biggest ground in the state isn’t something they’d want to lose.

There are other teams besides Port.

I hope when the next phase is done, the history of the bowls club is appropriately honoured.

My grandfather’s name is all over the honour boards in the current club rooms. Club champion multiple times over the 40 plus years he bowled there.
Part of the deal, is that the Bowling Club will get new and improved, and additional facilities. I suspect Port might use them on some SANFL/AFLW game days - that's the bar and function room area. The Bowling Club will still have its Honour Boards.
 
Russell Ebert would be the favourite for the new stand…….. I would be keen on The Burgoyne Family to be acknowledged for the 3 Generations of Port Representation ongoing if they were to build another after the Ebert Stand.
