HE’s been a leader on and off the park and inspired a legion of Port Adelaide supporters to stick through the tough times.

And despite the difficult years he endured in his early times at Alberton, Travis Boak’s record in milestone games is actually very good.

The former skipper is yet to taste defeat in a milestone game, even enjoying a win in his AFL debut way back in 2007.

Ahead of his 250^th AFL game, portadelaidefc.com.au has taken a look back at Boak’s milestone moments.

For the first time Boak faced a milestone game away from Football Park. It didn’t matter as the Power went on to win anyway. It was hardly an inspiring performance but sometimes a win is a win. The now skipper had a difficult day in the trenches with 15 of his 19 disposals being contested. He also had four tackles and eight clearances as the Power snuck past the Suns by just nine points. Matthew Lobbe earned the three Brownlow votes after an incredible 56-hit-out 12 tackle, 16 disposal game.

Perhaps Boak’s best milestone game win came in his 200^th game to open the 2017 season. Against a formidable opponent in Sydney at the SCG, the Power shocked many by powering away from the Swans in the second half. Boak earned two Brownlow medal votes for a courageous display which saw him rack up 26 disposals, three tackles, three clearances and two goals. Sydney’s Lance Franklin was named best on ground for his four goals in a losing side while Ollie Wines was busy for the Power with 33 touches and nine clearances, and Brad Ebert had 25 touches, nine clearances and an incredible eleven tackles.
