Is Brian Lake a Premium?

Will big Brian be in the top 7 averaging backs come years end?

Cheers!

dont think he will be a top 7 averaging backman, but have had him from the start and hes definitely a keeper
hes a premo slowly getting back to his best

Yeah, his ability to junk so hard has me envious and at 350k for a top 7 back, could be a steal!

Definite keeper if you have him.

He is a master of junking it up. He has some occasional downs but what defender hasn't (well, except for Lids). Still, he's a fair way off my top 7, so I wouldn't be trading him in.

Top 7 Defs:
1. Lids
2. Scotland
3. Carazzo
4. Goddard
5. Waters
6. Shaw
7. Adcock/Broughton/MJ/Birchall/Suckling/Heppell/Grimes <-- These are all players I'd have ahead of him.

Like most defenders this year..some weeks they are on it..others just tagged out or tagging others themslves. Lake can still bust out a good 100+ just wont do it every week. Still good value at his price IMO though :o

He won't be in top7, but he'll be close. I would say he's a keeper D7, but not a premo.

I'm keeping him. A few of those crap scores were in bad weather and Lake absolutely carves up Etihad under the roof. Love him at my D6 or 7.

My team is so good, I have Bircahll has as D1

Take out his round 1 score and then yes.

He is averaging ~87 not including that which is where I want my prem defenders to be getting. Above 85+ and they are a keeper, especially given how poorly some defenders have been going this season.

I started with him and won't be trading him barring injury and/or a massive form slump.

captain dt · June 19, 2012, 04:49:12 PM

he wont be top 7

Windigo · June 19, 2012, 05:02:47 PM

I got him in a few weeks back.

You can do worse than pick Lake. Bit of a risk, but his scoring has been sold aprat a few poor weeks. But you will get that being a full back.

But you are ludicrously good if you can get tons as a full back. ;)

....Junk time or otherwise. ::)
