News Boak Steps Down

[Visenfest]

Thanks for your service as captain Boaky.

Put me down as another who would prefer Jonas to take over as captain.

Lol get a load of the picture channel 7 use. As if he's some disgraced knuckledragger.

Thanks Boaky, now he can get down to concentrate playing footy and hopefully regain some off his mojo on the field.
Ill be forever grateful for what he did for us during the dark years,

I liked Boak's style of captaincy: Working his ass off and staying humble. Always cringe a little when captains are outspoken in the media. Whoever replaces him, I hope they're the same.

“Lol hey guys can you find a picture that makes it look like he’s been stood down? Yep, that’s the one!”

Farken hell these cnuts are Australia’s answer to Fox News.

Brilliant captain.

So many times when someone needed to stand up and spark the team (particularly during 13-14) it was Boak. When he had a moment or opportunity to win us the game he always delivered.

#ThanksBoaky

Massive news.

I honestly don't think we have a replacement ready.

 

[Amarula]

Is anybody else getting a sense that this is another important issue that's been around for a while that is now being faced head on?

Got the job when we needed his strength and unselfishness.....and his timing to hand over the reins perfect also, thanks Boaky for the service a job well done...enjoy the last few years hopefully the mojo will return....

Next in line?
After Ollie's miss last year I thought he might not be ready.....but I think he just has to be ready.....it's time to grow, it's time to Go Oliie! (TJ would be good also but I just prefer the longer term appointments)

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I have always and will always love you Trevor Broke.

Had always been Club/team first and today is just another example. **** I hope he tears it up next year.

I reckon Ollie is the type of player who will grow a foot with the captaincy!

One that knows how to kick a footy though the sticks hopefully

 

[chachi11]

Legend.
Teared up a little watching that vid.❤❤

 

[Schulzenfest]

Positive news, unlike most I'm not a big Boak fan, this will allow him to focus 100% on his career as an undie model

Meanwhile you can get back to focusing 100% on being a dickhead.

A sad day but the right move. I think Ollie gets it and lifts his game to the next level ala Boak in 13.

 

[Julia#13]

No matter the criticisms of him as a player the last two years, he has cemented himself as a massive part of our club history. Has lead by example and proven himself to be of exceptional character. He was the leader we needed in those dark times, and a bloody fantastic player during this period too. Hope to see him finish off his career with a bang.

 

[Adz2332]

Was expected but still doesnt make it any easier to take. Was a well spoken, well respected captain.
Congrats on the run.
Hopefully now can concentrate on his own form

An absolute star... Play him in the midfield please.

They had to pick a photo goes with their “Boak pushed out of Captaincy role” story that will come in a couple of days....

Boaky controversially steps down as captain.

It's been as much an honour to have him lead this club as it has been an honour for him to lead it. He's been a fantastic leader on and off-field and has always put Port Adelaide first throughout his career and most importantly when the big decisions have been made.

Well done Travis, a brave call a hard call but a call that will see you continue to contribute to this club at a high standard.

We dips our lids to you, a terrific Port Adelaide leader.

 

[jac147]

A captain who could handle both the on field and off field jobs. However the time is right for Trav to concentrate solely on his game. Replacement? Tommy or Ollie?
Would Ollie spit the dummy if we went for TJ for a couple of years? I’ll be the fence sitter on this important club decision!

 

[chickentendies]

Was just about to post this myself. Inclined to agree with Surjan - I think Jonas is perfect for the role.

 

[WHOME]

Meanwhile you can get back to focusing 100% on being a dickhead.

Oh sorry, great captain, great player, love ya Trav, is that better?

He stuck by the club during the bad times. He could have easily gone back home to Geelong in 2013. Can still remember the delegation led by Chris Scott storming into town and trying its hardest to lure him away from Port. His actions always spoke louder than his words. That made him such a good captain. Well respected as a leader by the players and the fans.
