TRAVIS Boak will lead Port Adelaide for the sixth consecutive season — a club record in the Power’s 22 years in the AFL.
And Boak has a new leadership team around him including prize recruits Tom Rockliff (ex Brisbane) and key forward Charlie Dixon (ex Gold Coast).
Rockliff rises to Boak’s seven-man panel before playing a game for Port Adelaide. The All-Australian midfielder joined the Power as a free agent at the end of last season.
The Port Adelaide leadership group retains vice-captain Ollie Wines, midfielder Brad Ebert, defender Hamish Hartlett and fellow back man Tom Jonas.
Lost from the leadership group from last season is utility Jackson Trengove who has moved to the Western Bulldogs as a free agent.
