It was a stirring moment when Phil Walsh\u2019s daughter Quinn presented the medal named in her father\u2019s honour for the best player in Showdown 39 on Sunday.<\/h3>\n

Scott Thompson won the medal after a dominant midfield display.<\/p>\n

Thompson\u2019s speech \u2013 spontaneous and delivered after playing 120 minutes of tough football \u2013 has been praised for the way it succinctly captured the spirit of the day perfectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you very much to the Port Adelaide players for another fantastic game,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cToday was definitely played in the right spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

And on social media, Quinn was hailed for her bravery.<\/p>\n\n
