Port Adelaide’s General Manager of Football, Ben Rutten, has been questioned on star midfielder Zak Butters’ long-term future at the club.

Butters will be in high demand from rival clubs being a free agent at the end of the season, but Rutten and the Power aren’t going to rush him for an answer.

“He is a big part of our future and our plans, but we also get that it is part of the game,” Rutten said on Wide World of Sports.
