Re: Following our ex's...................

You'd struggle to find many Dogs fans who think 'geez, I wish we kept Higgins'. It was time for both parties to move on, and the subsequent results suggest it was for the best.

We've slowly weeded out the players who caused me the most hair pulling moments (Higgins, Stringer, Adams, Dahl for example) so I'm pretty thankful

I remember being on a boundry screaming for him to get up after one of his belly flops. Lying on his stomach ball watching. Frustrated the BJesus out of me!

I'd forgotten Higgins had played for us TBH.

Re: Following our ex's...................

I bear him no animosity. He gave his all and was a big contributor in 2016. His form fluctuated in the following two years and he did not improve his major deficiency - disposal - in that time. Wish him well but will be gutted if he plays well against us.

I love watching Aaron Naughton actually get on the park more than six times a year.

Maybe its time for Marcus to admit that it wasn't our medical team's fault that his refusal to shed muscle mass keeps leading his body to breaking down.

You're doing it tough when even AFEL.com is unsubtly riffing on your durability.

I LOLed recounting a former club profile on the 'Spec' from a couple of years back ...

As a footballer, how would you like to be remembered: "Reliable"

Not sure what you mean RS, he was very reliable.
You could rely on him being on the injury list 90% of the season.

Marcus Adams must be approaching Tom Williams and Adrian Campbell in terms of non-durability.

Brisbane have the best medical team going around (based on the past couple of years).

If they can't get him right, we've dodged a bullet.

To be fair to Campbell he did have one of the worst knee injurys in the history of the game. The medical team at Monash Medical Centre compared it to the damage a motorbike accident would cause when they bought him in.

The Age reporting Brian Lake in custody over similar charges, again. It doesn't sound like he's got much of a chance of getting bail. Nor should he.

The guy is spiralling so much, even the footy boys club might be reluctant to bring him back.

Norm Smith medallist Brian Lake faces court on stalking charge. The Age.

Troubled former Hawthorn premiership winner Brian Lake has been charged with a number of new offences and will spend his second night in jail after being arrested over an incident on Tuesday.

Police said they arrested a 37-year-old Caroline Springs man at a house in Aintree, in Melbourne's outer west, about 9.30pm on Wednesday.

Lake, the 2013 Norm Smith medallist, has been charged with stalking, entering a place likely to cause a breach of the peace, theft, criminal damage and committing an indictable offence while on bail.

He appeared at Sunshine Magistrates Court n Thursday and has not been bailed.

It's expected that Lake will return to court to be sentenced on Friday afternoon.

Lake faced court in March charged with failing to answer bail, assault, trespass, property damage and stalking in relation to an Aintree address, believed to be that of his estranged partner.

In February, Lake's manager, Marty Pask, said the former player was receiving treatment for mental health issues in a private clinic.

He allegedly stalked a woman between February 15 and 17 this year, keeping her under video surveillance at her home address and saying he was listening to her private conversations via iPad software.

It's alleged he entered the Aintree property on February 17 and damaged a bedroom door valued at $200.

Lake played 251 AFL games, including 197 for the Western Bulldogs before crossing to Hawthorn, where he won three premierships and the Norm Smith medal.

The 37-year-old has become embroiled in controversy since his retirement in 2015.

Last July Lake spent six days in a Japanese prison cell after an alleged alteraction with a Japanese local while playing for the Indonesian Volcanoes in the AFL Asia tournament.

He was a contestant on Survivor Australia last year and has previously revealed the emotional turmoil of returning home in June last year to discover his wife was seeking a separation.

Re: Following our ex's...................

So (1) aggravated burglary (dropped), criminal damage, stalking, unlawful assault and trespassing. Plus (2) fail to answer bail, unlicensed driving and speeding. Now (3) stalking, entering a place likely to cause a breach of the peace, theft, criminal damage and committing an indictable offence while on bail.

On remand.

In serious trouble, bigly.
