Subject: The chase for Zac Butters featuring the usual suspects


Western Bulldogs lead a pack of Victorian clubs fighting hard to bring superstar Port Adelaide on-baller Zak Butters back home to be closer to family.

The Dogs are the frontrunners to land the Darley product who will face-off against Luke Beveridge’s men in Ballarat on Saturday.

But Geelong also has strong interest in Butters and will zero in on the 24-year-old if they miss out on Gold Coast’s Matt Rowell, who is leaning toward staying at the Suns, and Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver.

St Kilda is chasing a powerful A-Grade midfielder and could be prepared to offer the hard nut upwards of $1.5 million a season to bring him to south-east Melbourne.


The Saints are also chasing Port line breaker Miles Bergman, as well as Carlton’s Tom De Koning and GWS Giants’ key backman Leek Aleer this year.

But the Dogs have long targeted Butters for his class and ties to the western region and last month poached new player acquisition manager, Michael Regan, after a long stint at Port Adelaide as list analytics manager.

The Power are digging in on the future of Butters amid the league-wide interest and are adamant they will not trade him this year unless there was a mega offer the club couldn’t refuse.

He is contracted until the end of 2026.

Industry sources said on Tuesday only a head-turning offer of three first-round draft picks, or a player such as St Kilda superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, would force Port to even consider a trade this year.
