Lavington's Adam Butler plays game 250, while AB Mackinlay kicks eight

Mackinlay kicked eight goals, while Aidan Johnson and Kai Davies chipped in with five and four respectively in the 18.20 (128) to 2.11 (23) away win.

"He (Mackinlay) works hard every week and it was good to see him get a bit of reward for that effort," Butler offered.

Butler is one of the league's oldest players at 39 after debuting in 2005, following two years with Fremantle and three in the VFL.

"I thought I would have got there a few years ago," he suggested.

"You run out with your team-mates, who you have a lot of respect for and played a lot of footy with, so to see them genuinely excited for you is nice."

Panthers' coach Simon Curtis joined the two spearheads as the best, while Butler also played well.

Teen Ben Ashley-Cooper suffered an arm injury.
