Im guessing maybe its a reduced role or possible SANFL time? or does he have another offer elsewhere?
The conversation would have been around how the squad looks next year.
If we ( looks unlikely now ) get Perryman then there's one less wing spot available as Burgoyne, Perryman and a Drew/mid would be ahead of him.
So, do you want to do preseason number 19 with uncertainty about your role because right now the club doesn't know what your role will be and at 36 that's fair enough, we need to move past Boak at some point.

SANFL playing/captain/assistant coach role perhaps if he chooses not to go around in the AFL again?
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Yeah maybe there is another option within the wider club that doesn't take a list spot, if thats the case then the club would need to know pretty soon.
Boak has always enjoyed the back to the wall, earn my spot type of scenario though.

Will take the 36-year-old into a 19th season.
Boak will start 2025 on 371 games and could surpass Port legend Russell Ebert's 392 next year in playing the most games ever for the club.
Got to admire him, well done.
Serious question, internally does his 371 games include any stints with the Magpies? Lets say he plays 5-6 games there next year, does that go to the club record? Im guessing it would.
