Yeah I reckon his sister has made the move to Adelaide. That and a contract that runs until 2018 should keep him firmly in Port colours until career end.
Good news all around.
And the sister is going out with Anthony Biemans who signed up to play for the Magpies. I was a bit sKeptical of this move - a bit of nepotism unless it was part of the Boak package deal. But then again we call our selfs the family club and nepotism and family values are the same thing aren't they.
But I gotta say reading his bio - that whilst he didn't play VFL his side in the Geelong FL has played in 6 consecutive GFs and won 4 of those GF's.

“It’s been tough for Cassie leaving her mum and a big move but it’s good to have her brother around, and her mum, Chicki, has been over a few times as well.
“For Cass to be with her brother and for Trav to have his little sister here — they’re like best friends and have a great family bond.”
Biemans, 23, and Cassie started dating four years ago after meeting at South Barwon Football and Netball Club.
It was at South Barwon that Biemans, a hard-bodied midfielder/defender, won four Geelong Football League flags, including one last season as captain.
But he wanted to test himself in the SANFL and it just so happened that the Magpies’ program, under his former Geelong Falcons coach Garry Hocking, appealed the most.
“It’s been on my cards for a few years to come over to Adelaide and play footy, even before I met Cass,” says Biemans, who has been named in the Magpies’ leadership group.
“I met with two other clubs but I didn’t feel at home there,” says Biemans, who has been named in the Magpies’ leadership group.
“Buddha’s ability to communicate and still being able to have a joke but get the most out of you as a person and a footballer is second to none.
“For him to give me another opportunity to play the best football I can is great.”
The Magpies have not reached the finals since 2008 but Biemans, who has played in six consecutive premiership deciders, hoped to end that streak this season.
“I don’t like losing and don’t want to lose ever,” he said.
