Travis Boak vs Rory Sloane

[Super Hans]

Who do you think is the better player and why?

 

[ThisIsJake]

Really really close.

As an opposition supporter i'm just that little bit more scared when the ball is in Sloane hands so i'll go for him.

I also think he will really step up in the absence of Danger, AA 2016 imo.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I see this ending well.

Sloane for me.

 

[Zgope1]

prefer Boak's disposal- chicks love both of them the bastards

 

[Masqualero]

Really, really good poll. Kudos Pogba.

Went with Sloan, just love his desperation at every contest and the way he hunts the ball carrier.

Both guns - good poll. Boak just for me

 

[Heaps of fun]

Pretty close but I prefer Boak. Stronger in the contest.

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Awesome poll .. I chose Sloan cos I think he's a little more damaging .. then I changed to Boak cos he seems a great leader .. but now I'm back to Sloane. Both guns

 

[Chrizzt]

Close call on the two.
Sloane has the better ability to extract the ball, but Boak does more with it. Sloane has more ability to take on the tackler and charge through, while Boak's ability to sidestep and change the angles is elite.
IIRC Boak was number one in the comp in 2014 for % clearances leading to a score, and top 5 for kicks i50 retained by a teammate.

 

[eth-dog]

Boak. He's an absolute beast.

 

[Galaxy]

Sloane.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Sloane dog Sloane.
Love the way he plays always tries his guts out,always hard at it.

boak for me... first player to get tagged, great leader etc

sloane this year will have to work without dangerfield and will see a lot more taggers and attention. will be interesting to see how he goes...

that said would love him at port !

 

[Milanista28]

I went Sloane but it's so close.

 

[CollarJazzKnee]

I can't split them! Absolute jets. Would love either at Geelong (still a bit flat we didn't get boak)

 

[MinerBoy]

Boak for me. The player to stop at PA. Terrific leader.

Boak for me. The player to stop at PA. Terrific leader.

Have rated him highly since he was drafted.

Unfortunately, I cant shake the feeling he has been tagged out of a couple of finals now.

He was bloody terrific in the PF v us in 2014.

Unfortunately, I cant shake the feeling he has been tagged out of a couple of finals now.

Been well held by Crowley in the 2014 Semi, and while he couldn't get much space on Macaffer in the 2013 EF, he did break free to kick 2 important goals for us that game.
Conversely, he was near BOG in his other 3 finals under Hinkley.
Sloane has been more consistent in his 5 finals, however he hasn't been tagged in them, and has never broken the game open like Boak has in a few finals.

 

[juss]

Boak for me, feel like he can do what we need at the Tigers, which is step up in big moments of big games.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I think Boak can be nullified easier than Slaone, but is that because he's targeted more by opposition?

It's a coin toss for me. Both are terrific players.
