Re: If Lake leaves what would be adequate compensation?

Lets get back to the thread title, what could we realistically get for Brian Lake if he was to leave us?

So what is the plan to fast track Boumann?

No plan. If the choice came to play Wight or fast track Boumann i would choose to fast track Boumann. That is all.

Two first-rounders at a minimum, I would have thought.

One established club leader just below superstar status (must be a key position player) + one later first round/early second rounder would be a fair trade.

Brian Lake would be to the Dogs what Travis Cloke would be to the Pies, or Kosi to the Saints, or Roughead/Rioli to the Hawks, so it would have to be in that range, one would think.

Realistically? Middling first round pick + out-of-contract established key position player in three-way trade (Hale?).

By the way, Lakey, Jonathan Brown (remember him?) turned down way more money and a far longer contract from Collingwood and Carlton to stay at at the Lions. If it's good enough for Browny...

Re: If Lake leaves what would be adequate compensation?

Came across this article on superfooty.com.au, some insight from Paul Roos. This at least gives us a hint as to what we can expect from Sydney come trade time.


"A lot of talk is about all our players going and how much money we've got," Roos said.

"There's no such thing as free agency, so there's got to be a reason a player leaves (a club to go to another).

"Generally by now you know which players might be leaving - so certainly, in terms of the war chest, we will keep it for another day, to be honest.

"We will try and get a couple of quality kids, at least, but we will probably have six, seven or eight spots at the end of the year up for some younger players.

"But at this stage, it will be unlikely we will be spending too much money on players from other clubs."

Bulldogs fullback Brian Lake has been touted as a potential replacement for Barry but Roos said he expected the defender to stay at his current club.

Realistically we could maybe get a first round pick or a young player who has just been recently drafted such as Travis Boak and maybe and another player such as Troy Chaplin or a 2nd round pick.

I doubt we would get more than that, also we need to keep in mind depending what club is chasing him, he may nominate for the pre season draft.

That's a very real prospect. Whilst I think he will stay, we need to be flexible and a first round pick and a sweetener might be the best we can hope for.

I would be 'happy' with a first round pick and maybe a later round upgrade.

I don't think we have a serious chance of winning the flag in the next 2-3yrs anyway, so the more quality kids the better.

Top four twice in a row, with a gun midfield yet to peak, a solid defensive group and a forward line that only requires one or two of our developing kids to jump out of the box a bit quicker than expected (with perhaps Barry Hall just around the corner) - I'd say we're a big show for the next 2 or 3 years.

Re: If Lake leaves what would be adequate compensation?

I'd expect a good pick (1st round) and a decent player.

Lake is very highly rated by other supporters / teams and will be AA full back this year.


Having said that, I think he's staying.

l will second that.

l now so many things can happen year to year but we are close.
