View Full Version : Brian Lake..You discrace
This is by far the most disgraceful act i have ever seen in my life, all though devastated i can respect himfor taking a sensational pack mark, but to pretend you are injured is a sin against the game that we all love. Lake i hope you take a long hard look at yourself and hopefully in the future regret what you have done.

Stupid thread. You threw the game away yourselves. You rushed 4 behinds and butchered a 25 point lead in the final quarter.
I would think that Lake is a better kick than Minson?

If we had kicked straight we would of beaten your mob. The ball was given to Minson who isnt the best kick in the world. The 30 seconds lost time cost us as well.
the 30 seconds probably helped you in hindsight,seeing as we had the ball in our forward line when the siren went.

Yeah and it ended up in the hands of our tried and true deadeye dick Minson. Get off the grass champ. Only Richmond could let a lead like that slip. Today we played pathetic, which sometimes happens when you play a pathetic team. We should have been 4 goals up at quarter time, not to mention the fact that your cheat Richo claimed a mark that was clearly a goal.

very ordinary OP but you have just about topped it with that display of petulant posting.
Other than that well done Dogs, never thought you were out of the game and wasn't surprised to see us freeze up in the last 5. Can only be taken advantage of by a team that runs the game out and that is what you guys did, despite us outrunning you for fair portions of the game. Admittedly the Dogs were under par today, but the Tigers didn't play too bad themselves

I don't know what's more of a disgrace, your very presumptive argument that Lake feigned injury, your lack of mention of the fact your team threw away a lead that led to that kick being the match equaliser... or that you can't spell disgrace??

He probably is injured but who gives a ____ if he did fake it. He took the risk that if we kicked a behind there wouldn't be much time left. Also there was the risk that no1 would be able to outmark Richo if you guys got the quick centre clearance but seriously hold the ____ing phone until you see what eventuates from it. The bloke wouldn't have limped off the ground if he wasn't hurt. He was told to get off and if he was fine he would have stepped over the line and ran straight back on after Minson's goal. How's it feel to ____ that one up Tigers?
And Mods, sorry for the over-use of ____.
you squandered the lead and now your complaining about him, maybe the richmond team should be looking at themselves
The umpire gave the ball to Minson anyway which I thought 'oh no' this could really go anywhere.

The 3 closest people were Welsh who had 5 behinds, Wight who we're never sure about and I'm assuming Minson was pretty close even though he wasn't in marking contest.

So your story is he pretended to be injured when we hadn't kicked the goal wasting time we could use to win the game or try to win after a miss. Doesn't make sense.
Misguided Richmond supporter. Please direct your comments to the couple of Richmond players who 'ran through' (my backside) the Bulldogs goals in the last quarter to give us a couple of points. I know you are not in the right state of mind after that unlosable loss - but please, have a good hard look at your team. They really are rubbish like your supporters have continually said on the talkback radio stations for the past few years. And yes, the Bulldogs played like crud - but you still couldn't win it.
Im very concerned about Brian Lake, is he right for the Eagles game or what? :D

Gilbee was standing inside the centre square when the mark was taken... the correct decision was made.
Can't deny it. Looked very cheap to me. There is nothing to say Lake wouldn't have kicked it, so you can't say it changed the match result. But still a poor effort - game in to disrepute comes to mind - don't want to give Tiger fans any ammo though...like i just did.

How about I go to the Richmond board and call them a bunch of chokers? It's a valid argument. The thing is, it would be appropriate on the main board or at worse, Bay 13.
By all means, keep the thread open, but get it out of here. It just doesn't belong.
On the issue itself, watch the replay and you'll find the ump ordered Lake off the ground. The OP has made an utter fool of herself.
Have noticed a couple of posts mention a bloody Aker......what happened to him, is he o.k??.......only saw last few minutes of your game, didn't see him out there......congrats on your draw,... I think,....its a horrible feeling, but at least you didn't lose...cheers..

It's a bit like booing the opposition for backing up over the goal line to give a point away, isn't it?

To label Richo a cheat would suggest that you have not
Out on the field in the heat of battle you could no know in those circumstances as to whether you have taken a legal mark or not, hence we have 3 field umpires 2 boundary umpires and 2 goal umpires.
If they get it wrong (incidently I think they did) that is not the players fault.
Why don't you just enjoy the fact the your team got out of jail today because the Tigers stopped attacking and tried to save the game instead of winning it.
Im sure in a couple of years with more experience they would manage to hold on in that situation but today they didn't and the teams share the points.
At the end of the day it was a better result for the Tiges than anyone expected and a good result for the Doggies considering they where 19 points down with 3 and 1/2 minutes to go.

He was busy concentrating on not colliding with a goal post he took the ball over head and he didnt have the advantage of a slow motion replay.
I can assure you that if the mark had been disallowed and the goal awarded Richo would have conceded without argument.
He may get a little frustrated at times but he is not a cheat and he has more integrity than most guys running around out there
Don't have a problem with Richo's integrity, and there have been plenty of players who have tried to con a goal umpire over the years. It's not the reaction to the decision that matters it's the initial act, players always try and push the limits to gain advantage, not just Richo.

Welcome to Fairydreamland. Population - You.
Mate, that is the biggest laugh I've had in a while. I love watching Richo play and it will be a sad day when he hangs up the boots, but to suggest that Richo would have calmly handed the ball back to the ump if that kick had been (correctly) awarded as a goal, is truly comical.
The man with the biggest persecution complex in the game (sometimes warranted!), would not have done as you suggest in a million years.

if you actually watch the replay closer, minson was in a front and centre position about 2 metres in front of the pack ready to rove the pack. so, the ball did infact travel over his head, so it can be argued that the ball went to the right bloke.

So it's ok to say that Brian Lake is a cheat. If you look at the footage, he went straight to ground with the injury, was attended to by the trianers and then instructed by the umpire to leavt the ground.
Richo has admitted that he took the mark over the line.
Stop whining

Typical Richmond supporter...what about the fact we kicked 4.10 in the first and should have kicked 10.4 and iced the game there and then or the goal umpire who didn't pay the Gia goal when Richo marked the ball about 2 feet behind the line?!?! Or the fact that when you are 19 points up with about 5 minutes to go you got creamed...good sides don't let those leads go...we would have much rathered to have Lake kick it than Minson anyway. And as for Nathan Brown giving it to the crowd early before celebrating the draw; what sort of disgraceful act is it to celebrate a draw ?!?!?!?:D

It was a great mark, would have been good to see him finish it off. I don't think slanging matches are doing any of us any favours, Richo played a great game and ran his heart out all day, I can forgive him for being slightly late to the contest. Lake took a great mark end of story, It's the umpires responsibility to judge if he was right to kick it. It was a really entertaining match and slightly heart-breaking.

Lake wouldn't have known how long was left on the clock, and even if he did, there was still time for Richmond to take the ball forward (they actually did, and that was after a secondary bounce). Your best tall defender doesn't leave the ground in that situation unless he has to. Imagine Richo (his opponent) had marked and kicked the winning score after Lake went off. It makes no sense for such an important defensive player to fake an injury and leave the backline exposed like that in the last seconds of a close game, especially when the teammates close to the mark were Welsh (0.5 for the game) and Wight (a worse option than Lake), with the next in line Minson (not a reliable set shot).

All i have to say about the incident is IF he did fake it then its more of a worry for us than irritating to richmond. For the people out there that have seen a movie called The Replacemnts will know a quote of "winners want the ball when the games is on the line." Harris didnt want it because he didnt trust his kick. If it happen to be in general play in the grand final or something like that, he would have had no other option but to take the kick.
I would have perferred to see he take the kick confidently and miss it than fake the injury and pass it on.

I just want to know how Minson got the kick anyway, he wasn't in the pack, if anyone, Welsh should have been given it from the umps, not Gilbee, not Minson.
Even closer to Lake was Cam Wight. Not sure my heart could have stood watching Cam steer through one of his helicopter punts.

Isolating all the incidents in the match is pointless, no one can change the past.... it was a draw we move on.... Do you think Terry would have brought it up on his own? The media asks the questions..... and then we bag the coaches and players for giving honest answers..... would you prefer they said "NO Comment"....... They're just people speaking their minds, who cares??. I wouldn't take it to seriously.
P.S I don't agree with the thread title.

We had a bellowing unwashed one near us standing at the back of about bay 31 . Wallace and brown talking of integrity is the greatest football irony of all time. The celebration of the over priced t-shirt producer was hilarious.Dodged a bullet today but hey i'll take the 2 pts.
Yes Terry you are going bald time to move out of denial:p

Yes Wight would have missed then Gilbee would have slotted the winner after a turnover from the kickout.

Hypocritical Tiges supporters..:rolleyes:
takes me back a few years a ago when captain courages Wayne Cambell went down with a similar suspect injury. Giving the ball to a left footer on their preferred side.
Dont call the Kettle black you clangers.

I agreed with you but then I saw your post on the Richmond board. regarding Judas Brown's oh so brief post match celebration.
He celebrated because he heard the whistle and thought he was getting a freekick for the hand in his back.
Which he freak'n should have!!
Love it.

yep lake is a disgrace but yet richo admits to marking the ball over the line but yet still claimed he marked it in to rob us of a goal.

Don't get why you say you agreed with me that Isolating all the incidents in the match is pointless, no one can change the past.... it was a draw we move on.... when your posting in threads like this one yourself.
Did I bring up the Brown incident? I was just clarifying it to someone who was personally attacking him, with a little gest thrown in. Anyway I think i'm pretty fair and level headed enough to know that. Thanks for the heads up though i'll try and be perfect.

Suggest you try a smiley face when you are "gesting".;)
Bryser You Bloody Beauty !!!
Most of these incidents are always blown out of proportion the moment some reporter looking to fill page 3 of the Monday Sports Liftout asks a coach a question straight after the game in the heat of disappointment at not winning a game they should have. Wallace could have answered it better instead of stirring the pot and fueling his ego for headlines and there are lots of justifiably bitter Doggies supporters who want to spend a lot of time hanging it on him. The annoying thing for me is that it is still an issue on Monday night news services and will be talked about during On the Couch and Footy Confidential EVEN THOUGH Lake has gone in for scans to check the extent of the damage. I strongly doubt he would be wasting the medical resources of Melbourne to continue the "discrace"( I know it's misspelt)
Reality check - he was injured enough to go off the ground regardless of all the conspiracy theorists and has enough sense to know he would still have been needed to stop a possible Richmond attack since he is the only backman we have capable of spoiling.
Let's give it a rest and worry more about the possibility that we may be missing our most important and irreplaceable player this week. Let Richmond and the baying media waffle on about this non-story and ignore the fact that Richo admitted he was over the line ( I don't care about this either - I've said elsewhere 200 things happened after that event that could have changed the result)
