    An out of contract Chris Judd. Lake is not out of contract.

    Talks of trading are premature. Supporters and players seem to be throwing the baby out with the bath water. Alot can happen from now until the end of the year.

      Yes Brian Lake is one of the best Fullbacks we have had in the past 30 years, so why would let him go. Pity his manager is such a wanker.

        If we do try to negotiate a release, can someone help Fantasia with it?

        I fear what we might receive if he's left to his own devices.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          I will be surprised if Lake is with us next season.

          If he goes it will be a bizarre situation, a totally bizarre situation.

                Lake will be too old when we start to rise up the ladder again.
                I found this part interesting. Could we afford to lose Minson, considering Hudson looks finished, Roughead is injury prone and a mediocre second ruck atm, and our next best ruck in Cordy would theoretically have played VFL reserves last week if not for the Foxtel Cup. If we got rid of Minson we would have to get at least one big bodied semi experienced ruckman who could offer us something until Roughead is ready for the number 1 mantle.

                Getting rid of Minson, as much of a spud he sometimes can be, isn't a realistic option for us.

                  You know that if Brian is bog in a good win this weekend that a lot of this crap being spoken will magically disappear.

                  Footy is very fickle especially when the media get a sniff.

                      Disagree. This "crap" and "media sniff" due to his managers comments this morning.

                          I won't be. This will get sorted out.

                            Ricky O has done a little backflip according to this article posted at 7.30pm this evening, he says Lake's not leaving.

                            Brian Lake's manager Ricky Olarenshaw has denied his star client wants out of the Bulldogs.

                              This has all started with Ricky's throw away line of clubs being in contact with him!Why oh Why in a middle of a contract would Lake's manager talk about other clubs sniffing around!
                              Maybe just maybe there's something going on with Rocket and Brian.
