News Rucci: Travis Boak may not renew contract at Port Adelaide

Re: Travis Boak may not renew contract at Port Adelaide

I tweeted Thring and just got a reply from him

"Thanks for spot Steve - unfortunate mix up. Two in a row for the Power this weekend? Chances?"

Hopefully that means it can be fixed

Whilst he might be a loss for you guys, just think about this. This year's draft has been compared to 2001 for talent. There are no priority picks for not winning enough mataches, so GWS & GC get only 1 round 1 pick. Geelong still have the Ablett pick up their sleeve which can be on traded. So get this you end up with likely Pick 4 & pick 5 working off the current ladder. Not bad in a very good draft.

No we don't because Geelong's priority pick is tied to where they finish on the ladder even if it is traded.

and we have to nominate before the season if we activate it for the upcoming draft dont we?

 

[Pedro59]

definitely said "Speak to Mum about it, and his sisters"

no mention of his Dad... Thring needs to be made aware and fix it

YUP agreed de said Speak to Mum about it

so ..what a beat up over nothing!

..................nothing

Originally I thought not, but I think what I read applied only to the 2011 draft.

So for 2012 yes what you've posted appears to be the case.

Five to activate compo picks.

 

[Forzaport]

^ Only if you've banked the pick must you nominate at the start of the year. If you lose a player at the end of this year you'll be able to immediately activate your pick like north did at the end of 2010 (unless that rule has changed)

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Geelong did bank it, so I assume we couldn't activate it for this draft if traded.

 

[Portmanteau]

Surely it stands to reason that a team who receives a 'banked' pick in a trade could use it in the immediate draft period.

The only reason they would guard against this is so that the team who initially received the pick doesn't tank for draft positioning once finals are out of the question.

A pick that is banked has an established value for use in a trade once the season ends.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I know we can't use the pick this year as we didn't activate it but surely a team we traded it to could? After all North were able to immediately activate the pick they received in the Hale trade.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Jeez we are talking like he's actually gone. Scary

Thring has made the edit in his online article.

Just heard Hutchy on 5AA. He reckons that Boak is a 50:50 chance to go to Geelong. Geelong has lots of room in its salary cap, so can make him a big offer.

 

[Macca19]

I guess all we can hope is if he does leave, he ends up sitting in a back pocket getting 8 kicks a game like Shaun.

 

[finbarr]

Caro was 100% certain he was going to Essendon 2 years ago. A "done deal" she said.

 

[pastmyprimus]

If Caro was 100%, and Hutchy is only 50% certain, must mean that Boak is staying

 

[Schulzenfest]

Just added 50k or so to his contract.

 

[PatientMental]

He is never going anywhere. Robbie signed, enough said.

 

[El_Scorcho]

He has to have that sort of influence more consistently but to think some of you would have had him out of the side is staggering. Thomas and Pfeiffer will never play a game anywhere near that level in their lives.

 

[Dalphonso]

Last week I wasn't worried especially with his performances but BOG Today so we really need him to stay.

 

[HugeJohnson]

If we let Boak and Pearce go we may as well rule out finals for the next 5 years at least

 

[pstew2dstew]

Yup was great today I will eat my words this week he was phenomenal...


But I want him to back it up against stronger opposition before I think he is a superstar.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Well a game like that has been a long time coming.

Looked like he was enjoying it, so hopefully he doesn't go anywhere.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

this is correct!
