BOAK HAS FLAG GOALS

TRAVIS Boak has cried twice after games.

The first came when Port Adelaide went down by a heartbreaking three points to Hawthorn in the 2014 preliminary final. The second set of tears fell last year when the Power narrowly missed a berth in the Grand Final, losing by six points to Richmond in a pulsating preliminary final at Adelaide Oval.

“There were thoughts like is that our last chance for myself and Robbie and those older guys who necessarily don’t have as many chances left,” he said. Port gets another shot when it plays Western Bulldogs in another preliminart final at AO on Saturday night. “My purpose is to get the best out of myself. If that means I walk away with a flag great, that’s the ultimate. I have a goal to win a flag for this footy club, for the fans and the whole of Port Adelaide.”
