Zak Butters says it's almost time to seriously think about what the rest of the AFL has been talking about all year.
And Port Adelaide's star midfielder says it will be emotional, regardless of where he decides to play from next season.
The AFL's hottest property insists he's yet to seriously weigh multi-million dollars from rival clubs to return to his native Victoria when his contract at Port expires at season's end.
"It's obviously a big decision," Butters told reporters on Wednesday.
"You think about everything ... there's emotion attached to it, definitely. No matter what the decision is, it's going to be a pretty emotional one from my end, no matter what I do."
Butters on Saturday night will play his 150th AFL game when the Power host Carlton at Adelaide Oval.
