Brian Lake

Yeah, yeah.

Brian Lake.

Brian Lake, yeah.

These are all things they can't do.

But I'm going to look at

We've got so many friends this week.

It's the Brian Lake medal.

So Harris Andrews, jeez, we had him on last week off the back of his three-peated Jack Buckley medal.

You can only suggest that Brisbane are going to bounce back and win this week easily.

So Harris Andrews instantly ineligible.

But what we did see...

So remember when I said Brian Lake was 11.7? Yes.

His grand final in 2013? Yes.

Nope.

Big Brian Lake with the Norm Smith.

Correct.

Jackie Gunston.

I wanted to chuck in one of the best quotes I reckon I've heard.

It was from Brian Lake after he was asked what his legacy would be, having changed from the Bulldogs to the Hawks.

And he said he wanted to be remembered as a Bulldogs life member and a Hawthorne premiership player.

And I think if people can have that perspective of when legends move on...

AFL have the Gary Ayres Award for the best player of the final series.

I thought let's put together the Brian Lake Award.

For the best defender of the final series, Brian Lake last obviously genuine fullback to win a Norm Smith medal.

Norm,

yep.

So here we go.

With this round of defending, obviously there's only two teams, four teams that played, so the four teams are only eligible.

With one vote, his first and last vote in the Brian Lake medal because his team is out, Disco Turner.

I don't want to go to the top ones, but some steals that you've loved throughout your time.

Brian Lake, Brian Harris.

Yeah.

Yeah, he just is such an inspiration to me.

Well, I mean, he could move, he should move up to third by this weekend.

Brian Lake's 181 in 2006, it's next.

And Lake has played six extra games to this point, so O'Donnell's gone really well there.

Uh, speaking of Bukhu Kamas, you just mentioned him.

The Dogs have lifted their offer from three years to four for him, so it's now roughly the same deal that Carlton had pitched to Kamas.

Okay.

Number six, Brian Lake.

Oh, yeah.

He arrived, um, at Hawthorn.

We just do the best we can.

So Jack Russell's gonna stay and give us number one straight out of eight o'clock, 'cause Tommy Green wants to hear who it is that has turned their career around.

Stuart Dew, Shaun Burgoyne, Damien Hardwick, Josh Gibson, Brian Lake, Matt Kennedy, Jordan Lewis, Nick Newman, Marc Pitney.

Is it Pitto or Pittonet?
