Boak bristles at Chaplin's passion after goal

PORT Adelaide skipper Travis Boak has taken a swing at Richmond defender Troy Chaplin and his passionate celebrations late in Sunday's 20-point win over the Power.
The former Power backman contributed to his former club's demise, kicking two crucial goals in the final quarter and making no effort to hide his elation.
Chaplin grabbed at his Richmond jumper and then ran with his arms outstretched like the wings of an airplane when he booted a goal to end any chance of a Port comeback at Etihad Stadium.
The win was obviously sweet for Chaplin but Boak pointed out the Tigers were still languishing in 12th spot on the ladder despite three consecutive victories.
"They were winning so I guess he can do what he wants, but I hope he's enjoying the year they're having," Boak said on Monday.
Speaking on AFL.com.au's Access All Areas, Garry Lyon also took aim at the Tigers defender.
Fellow Access All Areas host Damian Barrett described Chaplin's actions as "contrived passion".
"I didn't like either, I have to be honest," Lyon said.
"If you're going to be consistent throughout that sort of stuff, he might have ripped his jumper off on a couple of occasions earlier this year when he wasn't quite getting the job done, old Troy."

Chaplin showed plenty of raw emotion after kicking both his goals against Port.
“I don’t even know what it was. I probably looked like an absolute idiot,” Chaplin explained to the ‘Herald Sun’ about his goalkicking celebrations.
“To the boys’ credit, we played a bloody good side and to get the win is great.
“I had the match-up on Westhoff and the call was made to go and tag him, and I was able to isolate at stages and it worked out pretty well.
“I was able to kick a couple at a pretty important time. The first (celebration) was about emotion and the second one I didn’t even know I had kicked it. I picked it up and put it on my (right) boot.
“The win meant a lot to me and the boys because of the way this year has gone. We had built this game up to be a big game.”

stuffing sooks.
-
lmao have a whinge Boak. Sore loser. Must suck to lose to Richmond then. Again.
-
Played a great role. There is more pressure on Port now that we beat them. They are not 100% to make the finals so Boak can think about that. ;D
-
what a bunch of sooks - loss cut deep, EAD port
-
Boak. :'(
I love it ;D :thumbsup
LMAO@Lyon saying "I didn't like either, I have to be honest," Lyon said.
Yes Gary, we all know how "honest" a man you really are.......
-
I reckon he was doing it as a bit of play towards Matty White who did the same thing a few weeks ago when he kicked a goal, grabbed his jumper the same way! No mention of that on the Monday by the two flogs as it doesn't generate the interest Richmond does.
I say good on him, damned if you do and damned if you don't
-
it was a peetake of white doing it 2 games into his career at PA, did anyone mention what a stuffwit he looked that day ::), snivelling little silly, if his wallet didn't weigh him down , he would have kicked a few more yesterday :shh
-
Jack at the end of the game came right to the wing after the siren and pulled on the jumper to the roar of the Richmond crowd.
The bloke loves bleeds Y&B and will never leave Bazza Hall.

Bojo, doesn't it go "pull the other one, Boak it plays jingle bells?"
-
I want to see all our players show more of this sort of passion.We have been meek and mild for too long .I want to see that arrogance that was once sooo Richmond return
-
Haha winners are grinners and the rest can please themselves.
Garry Lyon is "The Hairy Malaka"®©™
Anything he says or does is irrelevant.
-
To be honest I didn't like it either and I think it is actually symptomatic of the weakness in attitude that was demonstrated yesterday.
Chaplin's celebration, the 'dedicated to the fans' stuff, the RFC social media outpourings all show a club and a playing group that has not absorbed the sheer failure of the season they have produced, and instead can forget it all with one better performance.
All that does is show me nothing much has been learnt.

all true but port are still sooks :thumbsup

Had respect for Boak but that certainly takes it down a notch, bloody sook
-
I don't mind that he said what he said. Our players deserve that. They have been hopeless when it mattered most.
Now they are winning "Junk Time Games".
Just like when you are losing by 15 goals going into the last and you kick 6 goals to 1 and lose by 10 goals. That has been our season.
-
I was at the game and loved every moment of it, including Chaplin's celebrations. I like seeing blokes enjoy their footy.
Was an entertaining game.
Been a poo year of course but I love seeing a good win like that no matter what. Just shut ya gobs and enjoy it, otherwise why bother posting, watching games or paying any attention to the afl at all since we lost so many early games and clearly won't make the 8? You obviously still care too. Just enjoy it. I'll never stop loving the club even when they let me down.

Sometimes you are most critical towards the ones you love…….only because you are so desperate for them to succeed.
I enjoyed the win too but that's different to not being critical of the performances of the club when it counted.
-
How can you win? Show no emotion and you are not engaging the fans and are robotic, show emotion and Gawwy doesn,'t wike it,. FO Lyons go and be a plumber or something useful, i am sick of him, and while you're going to trade school take Wallace with you, journalists??? Schmernalists
-
Loved every bit of the day, cocky port and their supporters can suck a fat one.

boak got 40 touches
chaplin was awful (as per usual) untill westhoff was finally manned up by hardwick - after ripping us apart
"They were winning so I guess he can do what he wants, but I hope he's enjoying the year they're having," Boak said on Monday.
fair point really
shyte year largely due to chaplin. our worst player
-
Just want to clarify.
Multiple posters sook about White pulling on his jumper after kicking a goal.
Multiple posters happy with Chaplin pulling on his jumper after kicking a goal.
Not being smart arse in any capacity, but whats the difference?
-
when westhoff went back
and chaplin stayed back
and each was more or less a loose man
port kicked about 4 goals : :whistle

I barrack for Richmond is the freakin difference.
White pulling his jumper was disrespectful to Richmond as Chaplin was to Port and I dont give a rats about Port screw the opposition thats what!
Get it yet

Many of chappys games over the last two seasons have been disrespectful to the richmond jumper
:whistle

Nup, seems a bit silly to me.
Matty White, good on him. I thought the boos were disgusting. He is a tiger at heart and we stiffed him. I for one am extremely happy for him and how he is playing.
Good on him for the passion.
Good on Chaplin as well, first time ive liked him in a Richmond jumper. And the players mobbed him, so they obviously love having him around.
Well done Whitey and Chaplin on the weekend for mine. Show some passion. You can shove robots up your lemon and sars
-
Reeks of poor sportsmanship imo. Lyon has never liked the Tigers ever since he wrote the article comparing his beloved Melbourne and Richmond and then had to continually wipe the egg off his face ever since :shh
-

Surprisingly Wallace had no problem with Chaplin's celebrations. I do not have a problem with them but I wished we could have showed that passion all year and not towards the end of the season when the season is effectively over.

When you lack mental toughness, you fail to show up. You fail to give life 100 percent. You hide from the challenges that, if conquered, will make you successful"

WGAF!!!!
Hopefully next year when we beat Port and he kicks goals he will do cart wheels, fire swallowing, walk a tight rope, swim with whale sharks and tame lions....We should be in the four, what will they whine about then..
FFS, really, move on.
-
it sounds like Boak has moved on. He might finish top four, at least play finals. Good player too.
Why did we not tag him btw
-
I liked both Chaplins' behaviour and Boaks.
Chaplin looked like the player he was at Port for a change. Was a brilliant come back by Boak.
Footy was the winner.
-
Bit more to it according to media.
It seems Chaplin sent an email to Port after he skipped out for more cash, telling them how they could become a better club.
No wonder Boak hates him.
-

Doesn't sound like that at all. If he really didn't care because he is going going to play finals and we aren't :blah :blah then he wouldn't have cared about Chaplins reaction or the loss....but he obviously did enough to speak not only to his team mates but the media.
I'd say it cut him up big time regardless of ladder position etc. Just a sook :nopity :wallywink
-
TravisBoak been largely responsible for winning 11 odd games while Chaplin has playd a key role in losing 11 odd...

Its a Tribal thing

Because he was largely ineffective.

Yes - only BOG by a country mile and the main reason Port were able to stay in it for so long. But apart from that - largely ineffective.

I don't care if he is the best player in the league and they haven't lost a game in 5 years - it's still sour grapes. If he didn't care and had moved on he won't have brought it up to the media in the first place. We're not comparing player or team ability here. We are simple stating the obvious - he lost and an old team mate celebrated beating him and it stung. I say he should have moved on and been a bigger person before he decided to have a go at Chaplin publicly.
Just make him look like a sook. :'( By the way since when is it better to put one of your own teams player down and take sides with an opposition player. Which side are you guys on :shh :P
-
Sour grapes doesn't worry me greatly. At least he cares.
Chaplin seems to play in a disinterested fashion imo at times. Seemingly not trying enough to get to a contest or assist his team mates when required.
Which I find infuriating when blokes like boak Morris rance go at 110%
-
See I don't think Chaplin is disinterested. I think he is fairly poised and measured with his play. He's one of those guys who seems to be never pressured and have more time than he should. I think its more his temperament rather than his attitude. As a defender I don't think you get the opportunities to have 'wins' like a forward whose kicked a goal. You don't see many full backs doing the aeroplane after they have fisted the ball away from their opponent so last game was probably his first opportunity to show his passion for the side. :-\

That's terrible

boak got 40 touches
chaplin was awful (as per usual) untill westhoff was finally manned up by hardwick - after ripping us apart
"They were winning so I guess he can do what he wants, but I hope he's enjoying the year they're having," Boak said on Monday.
fair point really
shyte year largely due to chaplin. our worst player
That's embarrassing to even make that comment "until westhoff was finally manned up by hardwick - after ripping us apart!
Westhoff had 14 possessions at an efficiency of 64%, no marks in the f50 and zero scoring!
Chaplin then follows the big goon forward and kicks two goals.......well bugger me
Stop letting the facts get in the way of your one way tram track comments
-
By wealth off you mean Westhoff
But I agree he wasn't ripping us apart, he had a crap game truth be told
-
If Astbury plays again this year maybe we should just leave Chappy forward and see what happens. Rance, Grimes and Astbury 3 talls KPD's.

I was alluding westhoff was more damaging as a port back man than what Chaplin provided on the rebound. A position the esteemed commentry team stated on the replay. Its a hard task to take forward 50 marks whilst not in the forward line.
It wouldn't be the first time an opposition loose man in defence has had a largely influence in the positive for the game as opposed to when Chaplin has found himself loose.

Westhoff was poo for the whole game and at no stage did he have a large influence in the positive, simply because his man didn't allow him. Blinkers off please

Agree. :thumbsup
-
Why Chaplin go forward then
To even up the numbers (man on man). Westhoff wasn't doing the damage, it was Logan and Broadbent running free that was causing the problem. Westhoff was ineffectual.
-
Boak showing the pressure of losing 4 of the past 5 games. Out of the Top 4 after being top of the ladder.
If he buckles that easily on field then I don't like what's coming up for them in the next 6 weeks.
Karmas a bitch boaky, ask Brent Moloney
-
Barrett said Chaplin's Oct. 2012 departing email was a thankful one to Port in totality but a couple of lines got under the goat of those at Port. Chaplin told them back then that they had a good bunch of blokes coming through but that they had a lot of work to do and at his age he didn't believe he would be around when they finally became successful if he had stayed there. He also said the Port group had to work on some "issues" before they would become successful and those issues had caused them to stagnate.
-
Fair call at the time before they replaced just about everyone from the top down to the coach. Hindsight is awesome.

IT was the Travis Boak snipe he never believed would come back to haunt him.
“I hope he’s enjoying the year they’re having,’’ said Travis Boak of Troy Chaplin the day after Richmond’s Round 17 win over Port Adelaide.
Chaplin had kissed his jumper after kicking two late goals against his old side, with Richmond still so far from contention Boak thought he had a free swing at his former teammate.
Now as those teams face off on Sunday night the Chaplin-Boak war of words is just another beautiful little sideshow that will entertain the punters this week.

Boak = :stupid :wallywink :doh :outtahere

I hope we get up and Chaplin is in the after game interview with Dimma and some one brings this up, I also hope that the response no comment see you guys next week, no more questions!

'Just a bit of banter': Boak downplays Chaplin sledge
Harry Thring
afl.com.au
September 1, 2014 3:56 PM
PORT Adelaide skipper Travis Boak is downplaying any tension between him and former teammate-turned-Richmond defender Troy Chaplin.
Chaplin grabbed at his Richmond jumper and then ran with his arms outstretched like an aeroplane when he booted consecutive goals to end any chance of a Port comeback in round 17 at Etihad Stadium.
It came after Chaplin sent an e-mail to the players on his departure from Port, suggesting the Power weren't ready to take the next step.
While the victory tasted sweet for Chaplin, his side still languished in 12th spot on the ladder and Boak sarcastically said he hoped the defender was enjoying his season.
However, Boak has now been forced to eat a little humble pie in the lead-up to the Power's elimination final against the Tigers on Sunday at Adelaide Oval.
The Tigers haven't lost since beating Port and upset the Sydney Swans last weekend to sneak into the finals.
Boak insisted the banter between the pair earlier in the season was just that.
"I'm sure he'll be pretty happy with his season the way they're going," Boak said on Monday.
"It was a bit of banter after a game and it might add a little bit [of spice] externally but for us, we're just worried about getting the job done on Sunday.
"That was pretty much all it was."

Don't normally pot players, but this bloke is one that riles me up.
If we going to use FA we must get more bang for our buck.

Well we must get someone better than Blair.

Has it dawned on anyone else that when Chaplin played well we won and when he had an ordinary game we got smashed?
Certainly in our top 5 most important players.

Either that or he only performs against the crap sides

Probably because his bad games are so stuffing bad they kill the whole teams momentum. ;D

excrement?

Cannot wait to get port down to the MCG is all I can say, they are gonna get the MOTHER of all receptions when we roar for their blood.
Here, here Boak is in my sights...... :thumbsup

Actions speak louder than words.
Talked the talk and Boak and his teammates walked the walk.
No point yelling and creating the most hostile atmosphere imaginable if we dish up the skata we did yesterday whether at the G or at Etihad.
Look where they were 2 years ago. Since then played 3 finals won 2 and us played 2 and pantsed, pillaged and pathetic in both.
Enough is enough.

exactly Tucker spot on.

That's just a relationship.
Not a proven causal-relationship.
Maybe Chaplin just looks good when we win?

I'm sure someone with an interest in stats would be able to show a clear pattern in Chaplin's good games and RFC wins.
He had a mare on Sunday, no question but it was significantly contributed to by the thunderbird in the coaches box.
We were unable to hold our defensive structure and had Chaplin and Rance taken into areas of the ground we didn't want them to be, we were unable to create a spare defender to influence the contest, despite Port doing it at their end.

Again that doesn't prove a lot.
I could argue that the wins where Chaplin plays well are due to midfield pressure which makes his job a piece of cake being spare man back.
From what I've seen visually I don't think he's a match-winner.

Travis Boak is a dead set tosser !
He's gettin it both barrels next time those flogs play in Melbourne.

I hope Boak enjoyed his season too. For all his trash talk, he'll be watching on next week from his lounge room just as Chaplin will be.

I'd rather be Boak than Chaplain - as a player, the club he represents and as a bloke.

Well booey for you , suck on a fat one PA lost :lol

what a great captain he is. Hopefully cotch can reach those heights

Don't make me spew up
-
funny you mention that owl as thats exactly what i felt like doing in adelaide when i witnessed the mother of all hidings led by Boak.
They may not be playing off in a final but they have earnt respect.
His a gun whether you like it or not.

Perhaps join the fanboyz on a PA forum , in case u didn't realise this is a RFC one :shh
-
Boak is a bitch. Just like Cox.
-
I hope he's wnjying their season

So who cares what Boak said and what this is the bloke ked from the front against us two weeks ago while our skipper chose to kick into the wind
Boak almost got in a GF. Port have earnt respect in the last two years by winning finals.
Whilst we have made finals how many finals have we won and have we been valiant in our losses?
Don't think so but Port have. I'm with you Angus and this presents half the problem we've had to wear this skata for more than 3 decades.
-
I'm gonna put some fair coin on port missing the finals next year. They're due a horrible run with injuries. Couldnt even finish top 4 with absolutely no injuries to anyone of note all year. If we had their injury list we'd be top 4 easily.
Easiest 10 grand I ever made :shh
-
be careful Phil..during their mid season slump didn't they have their 2 key defenders out for several weeks?
-
Lost 5/6 then. They need a key forward , sarge 4 goals from three finals won't have gone unnoticed :shh

Boaky might have learnt a lesson here. Actually can see them coming back but might not be until 2026. They have talent but like most teams (ours included) they are susecptable to losing confidence and multiple games - this can derail a season. Equally and for the same reasons (confidence) they can win multiple games which I'm sure we will see again next year.
