Am I missing something that others are seeing? I thought 1st qtr he was vintage boakamon linking up well with the mids. Fizzed out a bit after that but I don't think he looks 'cooked' like I've seen some say on here. Do I think a younger player could offer more than him in his possie at this stage? Yeah, but he's there for his leadership on field which we sorely lack. For all of his aging flaws, he's still the one with the most desire to win a flag out of them all.My mate D_One was in town from Sydney and we had a chat about Boak before the game, and we watched him closely during the game and yes I know he came back from injury, but he looks like he's just about done.
His leg speed is still ok, but his reactions have slowed down, and he looks like old man Boak when he's trying to pick the ball up off the ground. Kicking for goal wont improve, but players are still passing it to him to have shots on goal. Kicked 2 points for the game and I think he had a 3rd shot that didn't make it, but we both said Boak wont kick this as he was having a ping on goal.
