Re: Save the Lake.

This is left of field, but if Lake was to walk, should we look at Bowden? I know he has retired, but he still looks like he has some life in him?

This is so left of field it is out of the ball park.

Re: Save the Lake.

I have a feeling that Brian will re-sign at the B&F next week, don't ask me why I think that, it's just a feeling I have...GOSH, I'm not often right, but I HOPE I am this time!!!

Re: Save the Lake.

Is there any rule against a listed player being an official assistant coach? We could put Aker on the base salary as part of the collective bargaining agreement and then top up his salary as remuneration for his contract as assistant forward/midfield coach or whatever title they come up with. Providing we have the funds it may free up room in the salary cap to pay more to Brian.

There certainly is a rule in place.

My gut feel also says the Lake deal will be finalised by the B&F. Maybe just wishful thinking. Just can't imagine Bryza at the B&F with the deal blowin in the wind.

Re: Save the Lake.

Hope a bit of Mackie rubs off on our Brian.

Defender Andrew Mackie was confident his teammates valued staying together over money.
"The last couple of years the boys have been taking pay cuts," he said.
"You can't buy premierships and to be a part of this is just priceless.
"You can't talk for everyone, but it's great to be playing in a great side and with great players part of it."

Watching & listening too much of what has happened over the past couple of days makes you wonder what's going on in Brian's head. We are so close to the ultimate success that it isn't funny, so if Bryza wants an extra 50K per year it makes you wonder what is important to him.

Brian really needs to work out what is important in his life and if it's leaving our club for a little extra moolah he can seriously eat shit & die.

I've never had the need to use the term lol but Mantis that post made me do exactly that - laugh out loud. "eat shit and die" classic! All valid points too by the way, except maybe the last one...

Re: Save the Lake.

If its simply a case of more $$$, then im with you Mantis.

I think Gia said it best when he said that if you win a premiership, you are remembered as a group. If you look at our past players since '54 their careers are remembered as individuals.

Lake and his brain fades!

Exactly Mantis. Greedy players never win premierships.

Re: Save the Lake.

Lake is seriously losing credos with this even if he eventually re-signs. He is hurting the ones who love him and love is a close buddy of hate.
Forget the money Brainless Brian, its a way to a dusty death. Have a word with Brownie, no don't have a word with Brownie.
Chris Grant needs to have a word in your ear.

They can do it in the A-League.

Kevin Muscat is paid as an assistant coach.

Re: Save the Lake.

I have heard that Brian wants an extra $50,000 on this forum, is this fact or guesstimate?
