Surely not. God I hope not.

I'm not sure I'd place any credit in something written on that site, it's just bigfooty in a different format.

There were earlier reports that Marty Pask was asked on SEN about Lake's Bulldogs contract and he said that Hawthorn will pay all of Lake's 2013 and 2014 salary on a new 2 year deal. I didn't hear it, so this is second hand.

Question - who was the last 31 year old to be traded for a 2nd rounder?

I reckon we've done pretty well out of this deal. Lake wouldn't have played another final for us and maybe lasted two more years taking up a kid's spot in the side. Won't stop me missing him though, was definitely was one of my favourites.

If this is the case it is ok, but the fact he would be on the veterans list next season and only a percentage of his wage would be under our cap means we have still bolted.

I found this, doesn't exactly answer the question of who pays, just that it is a whole lot less.

If this is the case,
one :isn't it illegal prior to trade talks
two : hope the Hawks never win a flag again.

Got a new contract at Hawthorn.
Had his contract ripped up

[Maddog37]

So he wants to leave the club and get paid $200,000.00 less than if he stayed.

Doesnt sound like a man that was keen to hang around..............

I wonder whose fault that is.

[jeemak]

I wonder whose fault that is.

So, from many reports things deteriorated between Lake, Eade and last year's coaching panel, and it's now shaping that he wanted out under the current coaching panel..............

There's a common demoninator in all of this.

Its his own fault, the guy is a genuine space cadet.

He put the loop in fruit loop.

You know this for a fact do you.

[Desipura]

Probably not, just like you do not know if Pask is spinning crap about Brian being free to walk next year.

Desi, players only walk if they are not happy at a club. Happy players are ones that are looked after by the coach and management of the club. If we manage our players properly, they wouldn't want to go.

In Lakes case things are already coming out:

1. The club decided they don't want him at Fullback.

2. The coach barely talks to him half way through the season.

What do you expect him to do?

To call him a fruit loop, is disrespectful to a club champion.
