A quieter year by his personal standards, Boak became the focus of opposition taggers on more than one occasion in 2015. The Power skipper was particularly impressive in a number of key performances where he worked hard to have significant impact, particularly against Melbourne in Alice Springs and in both games against Hawthorn.
Mitchell found himself changing between AFL and SANFL duties in 2015, but managed to play eight games on the national stage. The hard-running midfielder was also the club’s leading votegetter in the Magarey Medal.

Spending much of the next four months playing strong and consistent football in the SANFL, he was elevated back to the club’s senior team and played consistent football to see out eight of the season’s last nine games.
