Port Adelaide superstar Zak Butters remains eligible for the Brownlow Medal after having his one-match ban for striking overturned at the AFL tribunal. But the Power face another big challenge on Wednesday night when they fight the three-match ban handed down to spearhead Charlie Dixon. Butters was in hot water after whacking GWS midfielder Tom Green in the face in an off-the-ball incident on Sunday.

AFL counsel Sam Bird disagreed. “It’s delivered with some momentum, and it’s also an inherently dangerous act,” Bird said. “This is not a glancing with a few fingers to the side of the face. This is a strike to the side of the face.
