Port Adelaide superstar Zak Butters has nominated the Western Bulldogs as his preferred destination.
The Power confirmed that the club had been informed by Butters of his choice of club, the Dogs beating Geelong for his services provided they can secure him via free agency or a trade.
Port Adelaide will have to decide whether to match the massive, nine-year offer to Butters or force a trade. If they choose not to match, they will receive pick No.5 in the national draft - the selection after Port’s first pick.
Butters’ decision is a bombshell move that will drastically shape this year’s AFL trade period.
The Port Adelaide star ended months of speculation about this future late last month when he confirmed he was heading back to Victoria.
