Port Adelaide coach Matthew Primus isn’t sure if he’ll play Travis Boak should the key onballer signal his intent to leave the AFL club.

Victorian-born Boak will decide his future in three weeks when he visits his family near Geelong during Port’s mid-season break.

Boak is out of contract at season’s end, with Geelong believed to be pitching to win the services of the highly-rated 23-year-old midfielder.

“Travis has put a timeline on it and obviously after three weeks when he goes home, he’ll decide then,” Primus told reporters on Friday.

“We’ll certainly be asking where his decision is at.

“We don’t want it to drag on until the end of the year.”

Primus was uncertain whether he would continue to play Boak if he wanted to leave Port.

“I’d have to think about it, but it would be a really interesting discussion,” he said.

“That is where it will be great to know exactly where we sit early on because we are about the here and now – but we’re also about where we need to be by the end of the year, the next year and the year after that.”

Primus was unfazed by Carlton coach Brett Ratten saying this week the Blues would also be interested in signing Boak.

“I’d think every club would want Travis,” Primus said.
