| NEWS: Lake could again be in All Australian contention this year but he is certainly not performing on a fantasy perspective the way he has in past years. In previous years it helps your possession tally when you play for a top 4 side who shares it around. This is no longer the case in 2012 although he has been having a terrific season. Analyzing Lake's game on AFL.com.au's The Whiteboard, Matthew Richardson believes "One of the ways to beat Brian is by constant movement, by not standing still, and keeping him on the move because I think he can get a little bit lost at times. If you want to lead in straight lines on Brian Lake he'll beat you nearly every day of the week (because) he's got really good speed, he'll stay with you and spoil and then he'll mop up and get the football, and we know how damaging he can be. He's a man the opposition need to watch, because although he plays on the last line at full-back, he can be an offensive weapon as he sets up many scoring opportunities from the back half. He likes to get into the corridor and drift down and if you're not focused on him, he can push right down and put the ball inside 50. And the Dogs love to give him the ball because he's a very, very good kick, he's a smart kick and he generally hits the right options." | ||||

| NEWS: Lake recently said ''Last year was tough, there was no doubt about that. So you could say there was some demons in the back of the mind - can I get back to how I was previous to those injuries? It was a long pre-season and a bit nerve-racking getting out there for those first couple of games. But now that I'm getting the confidence back in the body, and the fitness, everything is feeling pretty good.'' According to The Age Lake is "Regarded as the best intercept mark in the AFL at his peak, Lake is averaging more grabs from opposition kicks in his seven games this year than two years ago. He is also ranked 11th in the league for intercept possessions, averaging eight a game this year, a category he led the league in 2010, with 7.4." | ||||

| NEWS: Lake looked like the player he once was in Round 6 as he took his biggest scalp in a long time, in Travis Cloke. Western Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney said "I think he enjoyed playing on a fantastic player and it brought the best out of him." Lake said in pre-season that he can return to his All-Australian form this year. Round 6 was certainly a big step in the right direction. | ||||
