Games - 5
Goals - 3
Best and Fairest - Outside top 10
Date of Birth - 27th February 1982
Recruited Pick 71 2001 draft.
Height/Weight: 195cm, 104kg
Dreamteam Price: 258 points; $276,800 (-$137,500)
Supercoach: 294 points; $338,800 (-$169,900)
Stats history: Brian Lake (AFL Tables)
A horror season where everything possible went wrong is he only way to describe Lake's 2011 season. Over the preseason Lake under went 3 serious surgeries with his knee, hip and shoulder that required an extensive rehab and severely limited his preseason.
Just 3 games into his season he was sent back to Williamstown in order to find form and recapture his ability to contest despite his wishes to not play and just train as he felt his body was not up to playing at that stage. Coming back for a further 2 AFL games that ended with a horror game against Geelong where nothing went right until a last quarter 3 goals that fell his way when sent forward after the game was lost.
He ended the season with the tabloid footy media reporting he is likely to be traded out of the western bulldogs, but western buldogs coach and administartion wanted nothing to do with trading out their full back star and he remains at the bulldogs with a further 2 years on contract.
As is the way with great players in australian sport, supporters and media are quick to want to right them off after a bad run but with a decent preseaon the 2 time all australian has the ability to get back to his best and again be the premier full back of the competition.
Notable Games:
The fact nothing is in this section says a lot.
