Opinion Travis Boak

[Doctor Feel]

Writing was on the wall in the trial match at Lizbeth when Boaky noted his lack of explosiveness compared to the Melbourne players. He put it down to Melbourne playing with an extra 30 rotations. Aker was spot on at the start of the year when he said we've been overtraining.

It was Hammer that made the comment re: explosiveness.

 

[cmpower]

He's spent and the players are spent. I don't think Burgos fitness plan is going to win is a premiership, tell him to shape
Up or ship off

So did Boak, said it on his regular breakfast radio spot at the start of the year.

 

[Papa G]

We'll have 1 more year of shit before we make this change.

 

[Forzaport]

I'd leave Boak well alone. He's lost a yard of pace and can't kick over a jam tin this year. Must have OP or some form of leg/groin injury that has slowed him down. Still far and away the best choice for captain IMO.

Poor thread... and disrespectful.

 

[Pommie power]

100% negative. Didn't even give us a chance.

Ummm how? He has done himself a disservice with his media performance today. Not exactly good leadership qualities are being displayed on national radio and TV.

 

[Visenfest]

Not happy with his captaincy currently, but he's clearly been carrying something and he has points in the bank. He at least deserves a chance to turn things around.

Also has a hell of a lot of money in the bank thanks to the PAFC.

True but what happens this weekend if we get rolled by the biggest losing margin in showdown history with an "injured" captain having 0 influence on the game?

 

[BornPort]

I'll be interested to see what comes out at the end of the year about whether he's injured or not. Seems like people trying to make excuses for him at the moment. Usually when a coach is questioned about a player being injured they'll answer with "everyone has niggles etc etc" but Hinkley has been absolutely emphatic about him not being injured. That said I'd give him one more year.

 

[SilenceOz]

Agree with the rest, give him another year.
But drop this whole 15 man "Leadership group" idea, too many chiefs.

Boak leads the midfield, Trengove the defence, whoever steps up for the forwards.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Says the guy who relentlessly trashes Pittard with all levels of disrespect, get your ****ing hand off it.

 

[snozulu]

We literally have no one who could replace him. Maybe ebert?

Jackson trengove captain and pittard vice wines to leadership group

I heard Hammers VC has caused some riffs.

Is it too early to elevate Ollie to VC next season under Boak for one more year, before elevating him to Captain in 2018?

 

[Changaneen]

Lets smash it. Everyone that wont turn up to games. While were at it lets smash Trav too. Lets smash Ken. Kochie. Lets ****ing smash eachother. Im sure you lot were born with an extra chromasome.

I would go with Boak (C) - Ollie (VC) - and the only other two I'd like to see in the leadership group, would be Ebo and Trengove

 

[Giraffe]

Yes and Pittard or if he leaves Trengove.

Port's slump needs no explanation,it's simply NOWHERE NEAR GOOD ENOUGH.great lack of skills all round and still suffering from too many BIGHEADS . simple as that.

Boak could get jabbed up with the East Keilor Nitro Sauce, have 50 & 5 and we'd still be lucky to put 8 goals on the board with the forward line we'll field this week.

 

[Visenfest]

Also has a hell of a lot of money in the bank thanks to the PAFC.

As does any player on our list. Being an AFL player kinda pays well. Try again.

Then you refer back to my original post for your answer. Carrying something + points in the bank = a chance to turn it around.

If he was carrying something why would we play him this week?
