    Brian Lake rumour

    This type of story comes up all the time in Adelaide, but allegedly has purchased a home back in Adelaide, near the beach, and his wife desperately wants him to play for an Adelaide based AFL club.

    He is still involved with a Childcare centre though with Eagle & Cooney in Altona?

      I'll worry about it just before trade period next season.

        I'm almost certain he married a Melbourne girl

          I call bullshit.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Nope.

            Had the pleasure of meeting his in-laws a few years ago @ a Dogs game @ Perth.

            Really nice people, btw. Introduced me to the great man as well.

              We could demand any player on the Crows or Power list for him. Club Champion etc.

              I hope he stays @ the Dogs.

                I usually like rumours..

                But only when it involves someone not possibly leaving our club

                      Me too. I thought he married a single mum from Melton and moved to Caroline Springs.
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Re: Brian Lake rumour

                        I spoke to him briefly at a Selector's Table dinner about 3 years ago, and he was saying he already had 3 properties then, including one in Adelaide.
                        Has he actually bought another one, or has he just traded his old one in on a new, improved version? Might also just be another investment - good time to buy, after all...

                        BTW, when does his current contract expire?

                          I doubt the Crows would have any interest in him given their large list of talls who can play back. Port may have some interest.

                          Given the way the side is heading, I doubt any player would be jumping ship, but if we have a terrible 2009 who knows.
                          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                            Every team in the comp would jump all over him if he was available.

                              How do I get a membership to that foundation? Brian would be one of the first 3 on my team sheet each game. I would be particularly naseous if he ended up in adelaide.

                              We love you Brian Lake/Harris/dont care what your name is just stay at he dogs!

                              Dya reckon throwing him up forward for the NAB cup as a trial might keep him keen? He does love a goal...
