Recommitted Zak Butters [RFA 2026] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

[Cleric]

There plenty of speculation that Butters will ask for a trade either at the end of the year, or at the end of his contract.

He is on a mill a year at Port, so money isn't the factor.

 

[AFDogs]

I'm led to believe we're interested and if he's from Darley, location wise, we'd make sense.

Bont needs to get in his ear.

I wouldn't want them talking too early, if I was you.

Only one of the players is out of contract this year.

Hearing Port are interested in Parish. They're in a Premiership window and Ken needs to keep winning to stay in the job. Essendon would likely pay a decent amount of his salary so minimal cap impact for Port.

This one has just kept bubbling away.

Can see it being tied in with a Butters trade; sending a ready-to-go player and a draft selection Ports way.

Bacchus Marsh boy? Might be time to bring this one home.

What is Bont going to say?
You already have players wanting out and by the sounds of things, the current culture isn't what it should be.

Butters would make a good fit in Geelong though.

Club Supported:
Adelaide

Unsurprising that his name was spelt incorrectly, too

One thing is for certain, if he requests a trade it definitely won't be to the Crows

That was a random post.
Sometimes things sound better in your head than they do when you write them out.

 

[TheBoss]

So does he nominate Geelong this year or next?

 

[Mofra]

Last I heard was Bulldogs & Geelong making monster offers to bring him home, Port leading the race with a monster offer for him to stay.
Largest contract in Port's history set to be on the table.

Doubt that the Cobras have got enough coin.

Came from the Darley Football Club, you'd never see him in a Cobras jumper.

Hmm, but will it help Ken keep his job though?

Obviously things have changed somewhat since last trade period, but interest is interest

It’d be like me starting a thread about gun Collingwood players who were seeking trades

Like, I wonder what the motivation could be?

This is a football discussion forum, where one discusses football. This is the drafting and trading section where people discuss the possible trades of players.
Zak Butters is a player who has been in the media recently about asking for a trade.
If you feel that you don't want to discuss it, then don't, and certainly don't post to deliberately try to derail the thread into some shit fight.

Want to provide a source for that?

Never seen anything that states as a fact, that Butters is on a million a year. Guaranteed it was only around 650k to 750k when he signed last for the few years so he could then put the effort in and get what he's deserved by his efforts. Hence the initial contract being a couple years. That's how Zak roles clearly. He wants to prove himself first.

So this 1 million contract that he's already allegedly on, IMO is garbage. But, he will no doubt be worth that and more and Guaranteed he will remain at Port and sign an extension.

If he leaves it would be to the Dogs, is what I hear.
