3. Travis Boak (2006)
The all-time AFL games record holder for Port Adelaide finds himself at third. Travis Boak has been a consistent name at the Power since his debut season.
From then on, Boak has had quite the successful career.
In 2011, the former Geelong Falcon was a joint winner of the John Cahill Medal (best and fairest) alongside Jackson Trengove, leading the club in disposals, clearances and inside 50s.
2013 and 2014 were (then) career best seasons for the Victorian, where he averaged 25.3 and 26.6 disposals respectively and was named All-Australian both seasons.
The former Power captain (2013-2018) has shown in recent years that he is getting better with age.
Another best and fairest in 2019 was followed up with his career-best season in 2020.
Boak showed no signs of slowing down, averaging 22.9 disposals and 5.1 clearances, ranking elite in both categories. This was all in shorter game times. The veteran midfielder played all 19 games for the Power while accumulating 20 possessions in 14 games.
His stellar season saw him named vice-captain of All-Australian team, and was runner up in the Brownlow Medal count (career high 21 votes) and AFLPA MVP.
The three-time Showdown Medal winner continued his form this season, playing every game and averaging 27.8 disposals, 4.8 tackles and 6.2 clearances.
