Toast The Renaissance of Travis Boak

[tribey]

He wont make it unfortunately, he dominated nor will he finish top 5 in the brownlow.

He’s had a superior season to groupthink darlings Cripps and Cunnington.

 

[RossFC]

If he doesn't make it he has only Ken to blame. Was moved out of the midfield in recent weeks because apparently we need to accommodate Wines and Rockliff, and his form predictably suffered as a result.

Yeah thanks Ken for screwing up one of the few things that went right.

That's our Ken. That failed in previous years, failed earlier this year, but go back to the well again. Live and don't learn.

 

[Dav]

This deserves a bump.

As many have said already, could be on 9 Brownlow votes. Hard to believe he could get even better after another season.

 

[Schulzenfest]

With his current career trajectory, Trav should be the best player in the competition by the time he's 45.

 

[Liam PA]

Another BOG. In Brownlow contention.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

i've said it before but he doesn't do all that useless running Hinkley and co. told him to do playing that nothing high half forward position for 2016-18 seasons.

I watched him closely 3 home games in a row in 2018 mainly concentrating on where he was running and stopped doing it at half time of every game because he did so much useless and unnecessary running that he had bugger all left in the tank come last quarter, and when we needed a captain's effort to win the close games, he didn't have enough left in the tank and he usually did a lot of poor kicks driven by fatigue. His delivery inside 50 improved last year and has been bloody good this year.

I'd have his children if it wasn't impossible....and a bit weird.

Weirdo lives matter too mate!

I for one am rooting for you!

I'd fight you for them.

Boaky is now leading the AFLCA Player of the Year voting. He's also gone from $41 to $15 for the Brownlow Medal since last night.

 

[Marmozet]

Can’t believe we wasted 3 years of his prime in a role that wasn’t his from 2016-18.

 

[Ports1870]

Our best Brownlow chance in years I reckon

He's technically lead it all 3 weeks, as he polled 10 in Round 1.

That's on Ken Hinkley.

 

[Power Raid]

Boaks comparison was Selwood given the draft

 

[JimmyBC]

That's on Ken Hinkley.

A sackable offence alone

#sackhinkley

 

[chachi11]

❤❤ love you Trav!!
My wife got a photo with him last year and I told her how jealous I was....He's mine Farkin...back off woman!

 

[Harlott]

That's on Ken Hinkley.

I wrote in another thread that I can't wait for Boak's autobiography to find out who had the big hard on for the idea.

 

[Powerage]

He would be the oldest winner of each and there would be no player more worthy of that distinction. If any veteran could do it you would think it would be in a shortened season like this one.

We've been a bit light on for players who can play on into their thirties compared to some clubs over the years I reckon so its nice to see two or three doing it.

Was last yr as well at alot better odds than I got today lol.
I will go as far as to say Boak has been a better player than Selwood over there career's if Boak got picked by Geelong he would have them premierships.

Yep, I'd take Boak over Selwood too. I've never understood the wank off over Selwood. Take out his protected species free kick leg up and he's not that great. Boak is a much better rounded footballer.

 

[davo999]

He’s just such a good character Boaky , he’s learnt how to get the best out of himself , I mean he’s not the fastest bloke , the best kick, mark, athlete but he just puts in , he’s got a great vibe about him off the field , loyal , can’t fault him really . Will go down as a great of our club.

 

[RossFC]

Does anyone think this role cost him the captaincy? He could very well still be captain if he stayed in the middle and performed like this.

 

[Kingfish73]

Boak is back to one touch. During Hinkleys demonising of his role 16-18, he lost his confidence and touch. But that is back in spades. Has been a machine first 3 rounds.
