ZAK Butters has once again claimed the MG MVP vote after the youngster put on another clinical display in the midfield.

Butters was vital to Port Adelaide's 22-point victory over the Western Bulldogs, with his contested efforts and silky smooth on-ball skills playing an integral role to the win.

He racked up a team-high in disposals (31), clearances (6) and score involvements (11), complemented by a significant 21 pressure acts and a goal.

The young maestro's night-long battle with the Bulldogs' Tom Liberatore proved an entertaining match up for the crowd at Marvel Stadium and those at home. 

It was Butters, however, getting the last laugh as the Power stormed home to claim its tenth consecutive victory.

For the sixth time this season he claims the maximum five votes and extends his lead atop of the MG MVP Leaderboard.

Runner-up in the Round 13 vote was big man Charlie Dixon.

Out of action for the last month, Dixon quickly made up for lost time - slotting three first quarter goals and quickly exerting his dominance in the front half.

He added another major to his tally in the third quarter, finishing the match with four goals.
