Zak Butters names Western Bulldogs as preferred new club
Superstar free agent Zak Butters has nominated the Western Bulldogs as his preferred new home. 7NEWS Sport reports the move comes amid an astronomical offer that is being called the biggest in AFL history. Butters’ nomination signals a potential major shift for the Bulldogs’ playing list if the club secures him. The size of the offer, by reports the largest ever seen in the competition, suggests any deal would represent an unprecedented financial commitment for the club and could dominate the off-season conversation. No further details about the terms or whether other clubs remain involved have been provided in the report.
