List Mgmt. Geelong's interest in Travis Boak

[Farmer2Goggin]

On ablett "back then" he was a light, low disposal small forward. He should potential to be a good small forward. People who think he was looking like an out and out champion are considering him as he is now.

Spot on , Ablett didn't play midfield consistently until he got the rocket about his fitness following Cooks famous review.
If Bundy turns out to be 75% as good as Gaz we'll all be doing handstands.

If thats the case, where are you getting your supposed info from ?

BTW - where is his manager going to be Wednesday afternoon ?

Oh, and have you dug up a PM from me .... or were you just making that up as well ?

his family leak, port adelaide leak
good luck to him
he will be an average footballer - as opposed to a premiership player
move on - i delete pms i don't keep them

move on your club is a train wreck

PS are you saying that the announcement wil be made on wed - one small warrior

FFS why doesn't Boak piss or get off the pot?
He's had more than enough time and if all he wanted was to ratchet his price up he hasn't got the character to be at our Club. $700k what a freaking joke !!
We have bigger fish to fry starting next Saturday - it's called Finals Football.

rubbish - the only one talking truth is his manager
and he is saying nothing

his family leak, port adelaide leak
good luck to him

So if his manager is the only one telling the truth, and his manager is saying nothing, then where are you getting your information ? Obviously not from the manager because you just said he doesn't say anything (although he has been quoted several times in the media over the journey - for instance Sat Aug 18 he was quoted as saying they were dealing with Port). I doubt your talking to Port Adelaide, so you must be talking to his family, which apparently according to your first quote above are telling lies, unless you are fabricating your story.
There have been quotes from both clubs as well as the Kangaroos over the past month to the media, with names attached so its hardly the clubs 'leaking', they are being specific about what is released to media.

move on - i delete pms i don't keep them

Funny that the one item that would prove your tall story is conveniently deleted.... and when I call you on it, you crack the shits and get aggressive.

No I'm not saying the announcement will be made Wednesday, I asked you where his manager was going to be. You can work the rest out yourself. (but announcements are generally not made the day the manager flies in, but when it suits the club/player .... and the clubs presentations are Friday night, so I am guessing it would be either on the night or before).

there is now way Gazza jnr is a better mark that Menzel, Fasolo or few other the other names i mentioned

Yea there is because he just is. He has strength for years on that lot and more spring and timing. Plus as said he is an Ablett and moves and uses his body much like his father. Those others are ok in this area. Jnr is the absolute best for his size. Is part of what makes him the absolute best player in the game and best we have seen since Carey.

Those boys have already gotta a better marking highlight reel than Gazza jnr his entire career.

No they don't.

he's a supremely better player of course, but his aerial game is quite ordinary in comparison to most others in the AFL and that's no blight at all, it's just fact

It's no where near fact and more like debatable opinion.

TSW has Boak on the Port board as making the announcement that he is staying on Wednesday so hopefully the saga ends then, or it shall prove that no one has any idea as to what the hell is going on

Guys of you want to compare players start another thread for it

Nah, TSW (and others both on the Port Board and elsewhere) have the meeting occuring Wednesday. All things being equal announcement would probably be Thursday/Friday.

I was waiting to hear what his manger/his family/your imagination or whooever else you claim to be getting your obviously incorrect, and always changing info has to say on the matter.

However given you have lied about PM's I'm fairly confident you were lying about that stuff as well ... I'm not sure anything is going to be forthcoming.

Has he signed?
If not then let's wait and see before you accuse ppl of wrong information. No body knows what's really going on. Everyone is just saying heresay, that's both sides.

Im accusing him of lying about PM's (and will happily back that up), and as a result suggesting he's probably doing the same elsewhere. Indeed we will see, given his latest post on Boaks coming and going conflicted 100% with quotes from officials, and information gathered on our side of the fence, most of which came out earlier the same day.

 

[The rabbi]

We lost Ablett and won a GF the next season. Isn't Ablett a special enough case?

Going after Boak is seeking a star for the sake of it. We have an abundance of good types in his area. I want culture, not stars.

I will be relieved when Boak signs with Port and all this speculation is over.

It reminds me of other great saviors of the GFC like Brian Peake, Stephen Reynoldson.

And frankly, there is no guarantee that the Cats will be the club to secure the services of Boak even if he does leave Port.

After loosing both Ablett, Ling and Rooke you could say we'd lost a little power, and hard in and under in the mid.
Like most of us I don't like seeing Joel so "one out" as he seems to be at times, so, yes, we need to find some big bodied mids fast. Toy? Maybe, Sylvia?........Wells has his work cut out for him!

After watching Simpkin on Sunday, still think he has the potential, Stringer's good as well, but the kids a lightweight would need another 10kg.
Just not enough big bodied players amongst our reserves that have AFL skills, apart from these two and only Simpkin has the body size.

I keep hearing about Shroder cutting it up in the 2's and that kid has a huge frame considering his age. I know we are looking to fill that 24 yo age gap that we have, but if the shoe fits does it really matter?

 

[thegerman]

Sort of over this debate. If he comes, so be it.

Just the heap of crap on these pages by the usual suspects is quite annoying.

Agree mate. The usual warriors and mine is bigger than yours schoolyard squabbles.

Yes, he's gotta have a big pre and aim for the Big time 2013, a bright light from Sunday.
Was impressed with a kid named Sully.

 

[darren forssman]

I wonder if TSW's sources also told him that Primus was going to be sacked the Sunday before the week hewas 'meant' to be signing. (TSW has always had him inked Btw)

throw enough shit at a wall and some is sure to stick.

however, if true, and someone of influence is leaking information about your coach being sacked a week before he is are you not concerned?

i personally think boak will stay with port, but that along with everything else is just speculation. i look forward to another thursday/friday deadline with hopefully a resolution this time.

I think he is referring to The Smallest Warrior

apologies, i may have misread your post and interpreted it as you saying tsw predicted that primus was gone the week before he was fired.

Still here

Port have paid the bill you can go back there
