More info on Travis Boak

An inside player with goodish pace. Not express but quick enough. Very clean handler of the ball in contested situations where he is composed and very hard at the football. Good mark for his fairly small size and throws himself in despite his slight frame. Pretty versatile and can play down back as a rebounding small defender.

He was initially a surprise pick by many who follow the Power, deciding to draft Boak at pick number 5 in the 2006 AFL Draft and was recruited from the Geelong Falcons, and at the time, the equal lowest pick taken in Port Adelaide's AFL history.

On June 17, 2007 Boak made his AFL debut in Round 12, 2007, in the Power's 31 point victory over Essendon.

In Round 19 against the Carlton Blues on August 11, 2007 Boak played a career best game and gathered 28 disposals and kicked 2 goals in the Power's 23 points win. His performance was awarded with an AFL Rising Star nomination for that round.

Boak also played in the losing 2007 Grand Final.

HE'S had to deal with homesickness, the grief of losing his father and the battle to play in the AFL.

How will he go DT wise this year? i am looking for a midfielder under 290 k and am serioulsy considering him, good idea?

[Cartman121]

Is it Boak's time to stamp his authority on the game in '09? He was very solid as a 2nd year player but i'm interested to see how he fits in with the current midfield. Port seem to have a plethora of midfielders to choose from, wondering where Boak fits in with all that and what his prospects are for 2009. Cheers.

[Toots Hibbert]

Will play every game barring injury in what's likely to be his breakout year.

25 NAB Cup players to watch

Travis Boak (Port Adelaide)
Port passed on eventual NAB Rising Star Joel Selwood to take Boak fifth overall in the 2006 NAB AFL Draft, but the club has been delighted by the progress of its young gun. He is likely to spend more time in the engine room this year, where Port fans hope his undoubted class will shine through as he takes his game to the next level.

Happy Birthday Trav.

Absolute gun player! I reckon he will differently win a Brownlow in the next 3-5 years. Would give up a lot for him to cross over to the Dons.

I think so to, or at least come close.

No, however I may consider giving you Boak just to avoid having to take Leroy Jetta .
