Boak has relinquished the captaincy.

TRAVIS BOAK will step aside as AFL Captain of the Port Adelaide Football Club after six seasons in the role.
Boak, 30, is the club’s most capped AFL skipper with 137 games as captain, 135 of those games since taking on the leadership role officially from Dom Cassisi in 2013.
The 2011 club champion has twice been All-Australian and played all 22 games in 2018.
But he says now is the right time to allow a new leader to step up.
“Six years into the job I think it’s the right time to hand it over to the next person, whoever that is,” Boak said.
“I’ve hit 30 now and I’m at the back end of my career so I think it’s a good chance for a change of direction.
“The club is in a good position with everything that’s been set up off the field and on the field with all the players we’ve got in in the past few years, so it’s a perfect opportunity for the next person to come in and take the lead and push the group forward.”
