Boak was ok, unfortunately he is a poor finisher in front of the goals. His contribution is still good if not at times frustrating.

We should drop both.Are you campaigners for real? Jed ******* McEntee runs around every week with 1 disposal and no influence yet we want to drop a 35 year old still racking up 25+? Take a look at yourselves.
Unfortunately he has made a career of missing important goals. Is not a clutch player, never has been. Has never had the required hunger to lead his team to greater heights. That said he has been a good servant to the club.When are we gonna call it like it is with this guy?
His career achievements are worth about as much as Kornes 4 best and fairests or Hinkleys 5x coach of the year awards.
We’d be better off with a debut player on the ground in a tight game
Was really a mixed bag game for Boak, attack on the ball was decent and the chain handballs but he mixed that in with dogshit shots on goal and stupid turnovers at crucial times. In the context of the game yesterday, I'd give him a pass based off his attack on the footy In a game that needed to be won in the contest.We should drop both.
The ball always slides off his boot. On either side. His ball drop/and or his kicking action has always been suspect. He has never improved it..... in 17 seasons on an AFL list. Yeah yeah he works so hard on his fitness, body, connections, Red Bull endorsements and being a great human first, footballer second, we know, but the biggest flaw in his game he has not improved 1 iota in 17 years, often to the clubs great detriment.in 2014 when we blitzed the Tigers I recall he kicked a nice one on traffic then, apart from that he never kicks them in those moments, why?
Still gets the pill ok, but either turns it over, slips over, or gets caught these days.Was really a mixed bag game for Boak, attack on the ball was decent and the chain handballs but he mixed that in with dogshit shots on goal and stupid turnovers at crucial times.

Fair point. I'd still love his experience come the tail end of the seasonStill gets the pill ok, but either turns it over, slips over, or gets caught these days.
Boak, Burgoyne and Farrell all got enough of the ball, but their hurt factor was close to zero.
Boak isn't too dissimilar to Ollie Wines in that both could slot the occasional right foot over left ear hole goal in `traffic,' but that was a long time ago.in 2014 when we blitzed the Tigers I recall he kicked a nice one on traffic then, apart from that he never kicks them in those moments, why?
Maybe he needs to starting looking to kick points and the goals will come?Boak isn't too dissimilar to Ollie Wines in that both could slot the occasional right foot over left ear hole goal in `traffic,' but that was a long time ago.
They are extremely unreliable set shots with Boak being the worst, including almost certainly costing a Showdown win a couple of seasons back that I suspect regardless of which club they were playing for the vast majority of senior mid fielder types would have kicked.
Harsh maybe, but a mate of mine is of the opinion if he had to score a point from a set shot 30 metres straight out from the goal square to win a game the pill would probably sail out on the full for no score!
You never know that could help. lolMaybe he needs to starting looking to kick points and the goals will come?
Now with 0.9 for the year, surely one goes through eventually
He wasn't spectacular but considering how we started the game, I thought he added well into the midfield when Wines went down.Was directly involved in 4 of the 11 goals we kicked
