Toast Brian Lake announces his retirement (6 October 2015)

[MrFujiMoto]

Pretty reliably informed he is not going on. Unfortunately SEN have this right if they are reporting Lakey is not going around again. Love Lakey but trust the Hawks on this

Hale and Lake

 

[Great 2008]

Shite.

 

[MightyHawks]

was hoping for one more year

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Two had to go, hope it was amicable

 

[PNess]

Gutted. Hale looks clearly spent but Lake is a freak, is there a player who reads the ball better, intercept marks so strong and can body the biggest gorilla forwards like he does?

 

[Long Live HFC]

thanks for helping deliver the 3 flags you crazy coconut.

 

[loki04]

Wonder if you guys will chase M.Talia now.

Lake out - M.Talia in.

WB Talia to Hawks for Pick 18 ?

 

[BigRough]

Had a feeling he would be given a gentle push. Great way to go out.

 

[bradburygold]

Barrett too. No chance on Talia. We have the following all needing more game time next year (roles will be mixed around):
Howe
Litherland
Heatherley
Spangher
Brand
Schoey (when not fwd)

 

[halfback dasher]

Absolute star for us for us , played with passion and grunt !!!
Thanks Lakie !!!

 

[PREMIERZZZZZ]

Thanks for everything Lakey. I hope this isn't because the club doesn't think we can win it all next season. 3 from 3, congrats mate, great career.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Both have retired

 

[cryptor]

Writing was on the wall when months ago the club seemed to have this awkwardness about it when Lake kept talking about wanting another year.

At least he gets to go out on a high. A third straight premiership and not a bad little highlights package from his last game.

Damn, thanks Brian, has been the best ride with you on your golf buggy.

Talia better talent then all of them.

 

[suedehead]

What a champ. Cheers for everything, Lakey!

 

[HawkMongrel]

Makes me sad that he isn't going around again. He was magnificent for us and the Dogs.

 

[bradburygold]

Well done to these champs!

 

[grizzlym]

No thanks to Talia. Would prefer to punt our 'redeemption quota' on Bennell instead.

 

[Off The Couch]

A massive thank you to Brian Lake for three amazing years - he will be missed especially in the big games


3 premierships and a norm smith medal - I wonder if it gets better than that

 

[threesixpio]

Seriously one of my faves. My best mate has him as his absolute fave
