Scandal Brian Lake gets sprung having a day out, does the public confession / rehab pledge

[Turnover]

Can’t wait for the rehab paparazzi shots, then the tv interview and magazine shoot with his new partner who has helped turn his life around.

 

[Redline]

Post footy life not being kind to Brian. But really why is this news? He’s not a current player. He’s just a bloke doing a line of coke.

Survivor put him back in the public eye. My wife couldn't name an AFL footballer yet knows Lake from watching the show.

 

[Dixie Normous]

What would Norm Smith think of this chooch? Would be rolling in his grave. Hand back the medal, mate

 

[RudyBlue]

Maybe he'll get a 2 hour documentary like Cuz did

Life of Brian?

 

[DERO]

Wouldn’t bother, I hear he already has a drug photo of every AFL listed player in the inbox.

Everyone bar the Hawthorn e players.

 

[josh_eagles]

so it looks like someone has gone in for a line with lakey, then taken a photo and dobbed him in.

s**t campaigner

George Burbury the ex cat by the looks...

 

[gardiner stand]

How true. Dale Lewis was crucified by the AFL and the media for speaking the truth. Drugs in football.....fake news

The AFL had a massive problem with drug use and their stupid rules enable it.
Just a generalisation but most footballers are dumb arses like most youngens theses days.
Tatts, instagram, Snapchat, drugs, alcohol and a hard road ahead.

Brian Lake was well liked at Hawthorn. He is a bit of a character.

But Lake didn't really form any strong friendships at Hawthorn. I think it was similar at the WB where he and Cooney were inseparable.

He is still one of us, and much loved, but he was a mature age married player with children who lived on the other side of Melbourne.

I wondered why we didn't see him on Fox this year. I thought he was good value.

What would you change about the AFL rules re drugs?

I wouldn't change anything personally , except the drug testing seems to not be working if Cousins and others never get caught.

Life of Brian?

He’s not the Messiah. He’s just a naughty boy.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Lake seems pretty likeable but he really burned some bridges on his way out of the Dogs. He’s done very well for himself in footy but he was always known for being immature off field. Take away structure and he’s clearly ended up in a hole.

He was on FOX until he had to go film survivor, he was a captain on the beep test and still did yesterdays heroes on bounce for the first probably 8-10 rounds. He left without explanation which I thought was sus, turns out he was just filming survivor.

It's hard to see him surviving this scandal

Don't worry, I got the joke straight away

Not even. Just doing something odd to his phone.

Yep. Question I have with these sort of things is whether they want or (more to the point) need to change.

I could be very wrong but someone like Lake just strikes me as a pretty normal dropkick.

He goes out and has a good time, sometimes takes it too far, gets in trouble, but nothing serious.

Then someone takes a photo of the obvious and it’s all “oh I’ve gotta go to rehab” etc. I mean give me a break. Do we really need these tearful episodes?

I reckon there’s a fair chance Lake doesn’t even think he’s done the slightest thing wrong and won’t change anything. It’s all PR, which is notoriously shitscared of the conservative population in a “lowest common denominator” sense.

I’m sure they’re told to do this garbage in case they’ve damaged a publicly visible career. I mean ****in Mumford ffs. Apparently there was talk of rehab. It’s some random video from years ago. He’s led a pretty normal life since.

It’s all just such bullshit.

there's sfa chance that he's going to rehab. couple of weeks in a private location and straight back to normal.

 

[1970crow]

Ugh, does he not realise how dirty phones are?

not after he's licked it clean.

 

[schmuttt]

Literally don't care at all, why is this even news?

Bogan does bogan things...

No secrecy for a start and zero tolerance,none of this 3 strikes Bull

If Mumford (the imbecile that he is) is allowed back , would you be happy to have your kids playing for GWS? An 18 year old leaving home for the first time with heaps of time and cash being mentored by this dumb arse. Don’t think so. Bring em home ASAP. Whitfield an example.

There are more players based in Melbourne doing recreational drugs than in Sydney.

 

[donbooger]

Good, keep these stories coming. I hope it desensitizes people and the media having heaps of there favourite footballers pictured dominating lines.

Tired of being told I need to care about it. I follow these blokes because they are footballers not monks.

Be careful what you wish for... (and I'm not being glib).

The main lesson of 2018 is don't go near Tiki torches. They are bad news.

So how did Grubby get through 40 odd days on Survivor?
