[Mr.Craig]

I think you'll find Boak's lowest score of the year was 53 LF. Why do I remember that? Because it's the week I traded him in. :(

A top 20 DT average in 2013, I think he could sneak up a few more places. Six scores over 110 is a good sign for what could be to come. I doubt I'd start him but might have a nibble if he's undervalued at some point and has a nice run of games coming up.

Thanks for picking that up MrC

[tbagrocks]

This guy should be a beast! Great unique!

[pommyadam]

also requested this guy (along with Ward) as a potential POD that I'm looking at
liking the fact that he can go bang, and scores should improve in an improving Port side

[Ricochet]

Personally I don't think he will go 110 in 2014 so I def won't be starting him. Happy to be proven wrong though

[Jimmykidd]

I'm really interested in Boak. Will be a nice POD for sure. Nice round 9 bye helps.

Cracked the 100 AVG for the first time in his career last year (106). Does he have the potential to go 110? 110+? I'd say absolutely. But will he..? I'd definitely take the punt.

For arguments sake, out of the 5 guys that are priced around the same as him - Sloane, Libba, Fyfe, Goddard & Cotchin(Most upside obviously) who would you take? :)

[Ricochet]

I'd definitely take Cotchin, Fyfe and Goddard over Boak. As I've mentioned before he had a much easier draw last year. His average against top 8 teams last year was 94 and he didn't play Sydney at all. Still a good average but not quite in elite yet. He will one day soon though

[_wato]

I think this may be Boak's year. Could push 110 but it could be bias because I love him as a player.

Won't be picking him though.
