Zak Butters is the most sought-after name in the AFL, with his future beyond 2026 yet to be determined as he weighs up a massive free agency call.
Butters has emerged as one of the best players in the competition, earning the last three John Cahill Medals, whilst also claiming two All-Australian blazers and the 2023 AFLCA Champion Player of the Year.
The Power have made abundantly clear they will do everything in their power (excuse the pun) to keep the star on-baller amid fielding heavy interest from a host of Victorian clubs.

The Hawks' midfield desires haven't changed after failing to land Zach Merrett last year.
Sam Mitchell has coped, even in the absence of Will Day, but the acquisition of Butters would all but cinch premiership favouritism, regardless of this year's result.
Hawthorn has the capital; they have the coach; they have the list; they have the entertainment and excitement. It's a tasty sell.
But would Butters' head be turned by a modern-day rival? The Power and Hawks have played off in multiple fiery encounters over the past few years that has drudged up some not-so-nice feelings.
