Toast Congratulations Travis Boak - 350 games

[TeeKray]

Congratulations to Travis on notching up his 350th game this weekend.

He is only the 23rd player in VFL/AFL history to achieve this milestone and the 15th player to do it at one club.

He also breaks the Port games record this weekend too which is a lovely touch

Congrats Trav

Thought he looked good again on the weekend playing off the wing. He looked cooked a few years back playing in the forwards, then had a renaissance and almost pinched a Brownlow for his efforts, hopefully this year is renaissance number 2 after last year.

Keen to see him break the games record next week

 

[ClintEastwood]

Champion. Can't fault someone like him who goes to extreme lengths to always prepare himself well. Univerally respected player. Even my dyed-in-the-wool Crow uncle raves about his love of Boaky.

Congrats Travis!

Huge Achievement
Big Congrats to the The Love Boak !

 

[Macca19]

Massive!

 

[PowerBaz]

He ran like a 20year old on the weekend, amazing really. He could go to 400 no problems and I dare say he will easy, basically 1 more year isn't it?

 

[snozulu]

Congrats on 350 Trav.
Boak is a great club man and professional player. I also really loved how he helped out SPP too.

Well done Trav, you are an absolute Port Adelaide legend

His game on the weekend was vintage trav
Gut running
Showed off his side step
Missed a 5050 set shot

Robbie finished without a flag - it'd be sad if Travis were to suffer the same fate, after devoting so many years of his life to our club. Have a great game on Sunday, Boaky!!!

 

[HugeJohnson]

Bit rude of Trevor to choose this week to play his 350th. This is Nick Daicos' week in the spotlight.

 

[JimmyBC]

Thrilling

 

[TazD]

32 should've been higher

 

[NoddyHolder]

32 should've been higher

Number 6 was way over rated. I wouldn't have had it anywhere near my top 12

 

[Brian McGee]

Universally respected. I can’t imagine anyone across the afl industry having anything bad to say about this guy. Great ambassador for our club and I hope he continues the year at the top of his game.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Bit rude of Trevor to choose this week to play his 350th. This is Nick Daicos' week in the spotlight.

Correction: every week is Nick Daicos' week in the Victorian spotlight.

 

[dirty2]

Well done boaky! You have tried ya guts out!

 

[Marmozet]

Not that it would bother Boak, but he hasn't played a milestone match at home since his 100th vs Carlton at AAMI Stadium in 2012.

• 150th vs Gold Coast at Metricon, 2014
• 200th vs Sydney at SCG, 2017
• 250th vs Collingwood at Marvel, 2019
• 300th vs Collingwood at Marvel, 2021 (and in front of no crowd too)

 

[Willsy10]

An absolute warrior and criminally underrated by some supporters because he hasn’t won a flag in a team sport. It’s like saying Robert Harvey is crap. If we were looking at port games in isolation he is only behind Tredrea and Gray.

Wanganeen is probably best over a whole career but I think Boak edges him out for influence at Port.

Words can't adequately express the importance of Travis to Port Adelaide.

He may not have saved the club as Ken suggested but I still remember the re-signings in 2012 when the vultures were circling. Geelong sent the brass band over to seduce Boaky and while he may not have been the first to re-commit, he was the big fish we had to land.

He cast his die with that decision to stay at the club and bound himself irretrievably to Port Adelaide.

Travis is the ultimate football professional, a great human being and an overall class act. His commitment to continual self-improvement and lifting the standards of those around him are testament to his love of the club and the game.

Trav is irrevocably woven into the fabric of Port Adelaide and will always be a PAFC champion. So disappointing he has not experienced the ultimate success, but his career is still legendary.

Congratulations Trav on a fabulous and extensive career and here's to adding some more chapters to this enthralling storybook.

Congratulations Travis, a truly marvellous achievement.

He, like the Port Adelaide Football Club's all-time games record holder, Russell Ebert, is the consummate professional. He makes sure that he does the right things to be ready to play the next game.

He has never shied away from doing the hard stuff and always puts his body on the line, just like Russell and just like Russell, he can't wait to play the next game and he makes absolutely sure he gives himself the best chance of being selected again.

Well done Travis: 349 games so far, 350 coming up and more on the horizon.

For the record, Russell Ebert played 392 games for Port and a further 25 for North Melbourne, the only player to play every single game for North that year. Not bad for a 30 year old!

He's playing in the best, most complete team of his career and this could well mean a Premiership for him and the Club he has devoted his life to.
