MIDFIELDER Zak Butters has claimed the Fans MG MVP for his performance against Richmond, with the young livewire’s 28 disposals, five tackles and six score involvements earning him the honours for Round 21.
Butters didn’t have any trouble getting his hands on the ball, racking up the touches around the ground and making his presence known in the contest.
After pressuring Richmond’s Nathan Broad into deliberately playing the ball to the boundary, Butters converted a classy snap to top off his well-rounded performance.
Butters claims the maximum five votes for the first time this season and moves into eighth on the MG MVP Leaderboard.
Coming in second place was Sam Powell-Pepper who had 12 disposals, four tackles and six score involvements.
The bullish forward didn’t necessarily stuff the stat sheet however his relentless pursuit of the ball and determined second efforts caught the eye of the Port Adelaide faithful.
His Round 21 votes further extend his advantage as the ladder leader, with the fan-favourite certain to claim the award for 2022.
Rounding out the votes this week were silky operator Connor Rozee, midfield maestro Ollie Wines and the evergreen Travis Boak.
Port Adelaide now shifts its focus to its Round 22 match up with Essendon on Sunday.
