Lake's report

[Go_Dogs]

Didn't see it live, but it happened basically right in front of where I was (although I was about 50m back in the covered stand). Didn't look fantastic on the replay, bit of a raised elbow. Those who saw the game on TV, how did it look?

Pretty important player next week, and would hate to see him rubbed out for 1 or 2.

If he gets a week it'll be a disgrace, I think he's pretty safe.

I dont think its as cut and dry as others here seem to think. He made contact so it will be closely looked at. 50/50 chance in my opinion.

Re: Lake's report

it shouldn't get looked at, but with the AFL he has a change to get 1.
He doesn't have carry over points does he?

Hope he get's a week.

He is dumb and a liability on the ground.

Re: Lake's report

He was looking at the ball and it was a glancing blow that hit just after he kicked it, should be fine.

Because the alternatives are so palatable.
I'm not disagreeing with you that Lake's making stupid decisions that shouldn't be made by a player of his experience, but without him out there next week our tall backs (ie whoever comes up from Willy this week) are dead meat. We have no other decent matchup for Roughhead. If he isn't out there next week we are toast.

Yes, I tend to agree it could go either way - with the MRP's lucky dip system anything can happen.

He should be right can't see him getting time for that.

Well if he does then it would be the biggest injustice of all time.

Re: Lake's report

The only issue could be his residual points - even then, I would lean toward it being thrown out rather than even being assessed.

And we need him on Friday - badly. Let's see how he performs on the September stage.

I have absolutely zero faith in the tribunal system. I wouldn't even try to guess what they'll do.

Re: Lake's report

Voss said last night after the Hawks game that Lake should get off.

Re: Lake's report

Saw the incident this morning and I've gotta say that if he gets suspended for that then the AFL has lost the plot.
