Only going on his 2012 season thus far he's performing at around B+ level which is infinitely better than any options we have currently. Don't think he's worth more than 450 K though. Averaging around 22 possessions and 6 clearances a game with a fairly low disposal percentage. (This may be due to a lack of support and the role he's playing though).

This is true and I would prefer to get a guy like Dangerfield or even Caddy but we have so much room in the cap (even more if senior players move on) that it will really depend how we structure the contract as to whether it is worth it or not. Would we want to be paying him $550-$600K in the third year of a contract? No but if we can pay him $800-850K in the first year of a 3 year contract and $400K in the last I wouldn't be complaining.

    I must say I don't know a lot about him, but if that is true don't we already have 12 & 22 of them?

    The guy has always been a gout runner, even in the under 18's pre draft.

    The bombers & Cats aren't salivating over him for nothing...

    It's like when people were saying Patty Dangerfield was overrated, when I called for us to trade for him last year... We could have offered Aaron or Sylvia, or even the Russian.

    Now it's almost too late for Dangerfield, unless we offer him the Southern Stand.

    But it's not too late for Boak...

    We lost the Gaff, when that big fish got away. Don't lose this one.

    Travis is a gun, but the only player on our list that would be an acceptable trade for him in Port's eyes would be Trengove. That's how highly rated he is down Alberton way.

    He doesn't have the breakaway speed that we desperately need, but he does have the ball-getting and goal-kicking ability that we also desperately need.

    I think if any club was going to get him it would be Geelong...but it's a moot point as I can't see him leaving the Power.

    Surprised as to how many of you think he's actually worth getting...Lol.

    Another plodder, which we already have enough of.

    Bump !

    Build our own. Good draft, good system now, go down the Geelong path. We have our Ottens.

    I've changed my tune about going down this path, especially now that Dangermouse looks to be off-limits.

    More prudent would be two take the two best mids in the draft and load up on a few cheap, hard bodies to help protect them as they and our other talented kids develop.

    Give me three Magners @ $150k per season over one Boak type @ $500k.

    He'll slot straight in.

    Get him.

    Players in sides that are building momentum like Dangerfield at Adelaide or Foley at Richmond, whereas someone like Boak at Port could be more realistic so good thread.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
