PORT Adelaide skipper Travis Boak has taken a swing at Richmond defender Troy Chaplin and his passionate celebrations late in Sunday's 20-point win over the Power.
The former Power backman contributed to his former club's demise, kicking two crucial goals in the final quarter and making no effort to hide his elation.
Chaplin grabbed at his Richmond jumper and then ran with his arms outstretched like the wings of an airplane when he booted a goal to end any chance of a Port comeback at Etihad Stadium.
The win was obviously sweet for Chaplin but Boak pointed out the Tigers were still languishing in 12th spot on the ladder despite three consecutive victories.
"They were winning so I guess he can do what he wants, but I hope he's enjoying the year they're having," Boak said on Monday.
Speaking on AFL.com.au's Access All Areas, Garry Lyon also took aim at the Tigers defender.
Fellow Access All Areas host Damian Barrett described Chaplin's actions as "contrived passion".
"I didn't like either, I have to be honest," Lyon said.
"If you're going to be consistent throughout that sort of stuff, he might have ripped his jumper off on a couple of occasions earlier this year when he wasn't quite getting the job done, old Troy."
