Yes and no IMO - Gillies doesn't have a fraction of Boak's trade worth. In that way, he's probably more able to engineer a deal with the club of his choice, because we won't demand the same price for him.
Yes fair enough.
But at the end of the day, my main point is that IMO Boak is a B grader who is out of contract and wants to leave (assuming he does for this thread) and is therefore worth a single mid first rounder plus some sweetner and NOT what port fans are asking for. Thats all.
I would be disappointed if Geelong are forced to give up more than that, and if this will be the case, hope we pass.
