ZAK Butters has claimed the Fans' MG MVP vote for another excellent on-field performance against Geelong.

It was a tough evening at GMHBA stadium, with Port Adelaide's undermanned squad unable to steal the points from the reigning premier - going down by two straight goals.

Butters topped all disposal-getters with 30, adding six tackles and ten score involvements (one goal, two goal assists).

The explosive midfielder adds yet another game to his notable season, currently averaging 27 disposals and 4.3 clearances in 2023 and looking primed for a maiden All-Australian blazer.

He extends his lead atop of the MG MVP Leaderboard, looking likely to take out this year's award.

Coming in second place in the Round 21 voting was livewire Willie Rioli.

Rioli returned to the field against Geelong and immediately made his presence known, kicking three first quarter goals.

He added another goal in the second quarter to round out a productive evening for the electric small forward.

Rounding out the Round 21 votes was Connor Rozee (28 disposals, eight tackles), Dante Visentini (25 hit outs, eight clearances) and Sam Powell-Pepper (three goals). 

Port Adelaide has an eight-day break before taking on the Giants at Adelaide Oval. Tickets are still available for the match.
