Toast Travis Boak - Captain Courageous

If premierships are anything to judge by the last decade or so, backmen make better skippers. Harley, Hodge, Maxwell, McVeigh and Murphy/Eastoon Wood. Ling is the only true midfielder in that lot since 2007.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUGS captain / coach it is.
 
I personally do not think Houston is captain material. You need a player with mongrel e.g. Dixon and Jonas.

I hate to say it, but i love the way Tex carries himself and the way he was speaking to his players before the GWS game, even i felt motivated and fired up. Ollie can one day bring that, but he came out and said “I’ve always been fairly comfortable in being a leader, the only thing I questioned a bit in myself was being vice-captain (at Port Adelaide) at such a young age,” So as far as Ollie being captain, it will probably happen in the next 2-3years.
In the meantime, do we stay with Trav, or relieve him from the role to focus on himself, and hand the batton over to someone else for the next 2-3 years?

Houston does have mongrel.

Two examples are against GWS this year, Heath Shaw was being a campaigner so Houston challenged him. In Ballarat this year against the Bulldogs he showed plenty of aggression towards his opponents.

Here we have two different sports practicing both of their crafts together. In the simplest terms we are collaborating to improve skills; Dwight's (NFL) skill of "see ball, get ball," and Travis' (AFL) of "don't let him touch me!" Different ball, different fields, but the complex interactions between these two is extremely useful. Especially since they both bring different movement toolboxes to this competition. It's a great form of "repetition without repetition." The goals are the same, execution forces some adaptability and focus.

Fascinating and good on our cap'n.
By the way, weren't our coaches supposed to be doing some training with Arsenal as part of the Burgess 'deal'?

Our Captain showing a bit of toe ... he's quicker than most
 
Boak takes his role seriously, to whit his helping to recruit the players we took in the trade period. It's one of many instances where he has been a strong and active leader and not just a ceremonial one. I value that. I acknowledge that in the past couple of years I've thought that it was time for Boak to step down, that there were periods if he wasn't captain he would not have been guaranteed of selection. But at the moment I'm happy for him to go again, for probably his final year as captain.
 
Boak went from Santa Cruz California and working with Apiros and to Phoenix Arizona and working with Altis to improve his running/sprinting technique and his Speedendurance training with Olympic standard sprinters and hurdlers. Probably also did a few plyometrics exercises.

Learning from the best at @altis today some sprint drills and hurdles (wickets)



But he looks slow compared to the sprinters


But the Altis boys gave him and the club a tick



He used this resistance machine


Hard to see the cord providing the resistance but this black and white footage of sprinter shows how much resistance there is. Some interesting stats provided for the sprinter but Boaky's data isn't provided.
