The AFL today congratulated Travis Boak on his career milestone as he plays his 350th game for Port Adelaide against Richmond this Sunday. Boak is the 23rd person to 350 games in the VFL/AFL competition.

Boak was pick five in the 2006 AFL National Draft debuting in Round 12, 2007 vs Essendon.

The former Port Adelaide captain is a three-time All Australian (2013, 2014 and 2020), a two-time Port Adelaide Best and Fairest (2011, 2019) and Brownlow Medallist runner up (2020). Boak is now the 15th person to get to 350 games as a one-club player and the first to do so from a South Australian-based team.

AFL Chief Executive Andrew Dillon congratulated Travis for his achievements both on and off the field as he celebrates his latest milestone.

"It is well known to everyone in football that Travis is a player of the highest quality, but he is also distinguished by his contribution to the Port Adelaide and South Australian community.

"Travis has dedicated years of service to supporting children and their families impacted by cancer through his role as an Ambassador for the Childhood Cancer Association. In 2021, Boak was the proud recipient of the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award for his outstanding contribution in the community.

"As a multiple All Australian and Best and Fairest winner we're thrilled to be congratulating Travis on this important milestone."
