Press Conference at 11 AM

[G-Mo77]

Looks like Lake's signing will be official. Hopefully we can get some audio from it today. Tune into SEN and see if we get some air time.

[LostDoggy]

I'm so happy that Brian is staying - well, I'll be very happy when it's officially announced. Looking forward to 11am. Wooo hooo!! :D

Western Bulldogs defender Brian Lake has re-signed with the club, finally agreeing to terms following months of negotiations.

It is believed Lake has signed a four-year deal, with a formal announcement to be made this morning at 11.00am.

Lake's manager Ricky Olarenshaw told SEN's 'Morning Glory' there was never really any doubt Lake would re-sign with the club.

"We had to do a bit of fine-tuning," Olarenshaw said.

"There was never really a set time or ultimatum. The Bulldogs were really patient."

"I think we always knew at the end of the day we'd sign with the Bulldogs once we got the deal right."

Western Bulldogs football manager James Fantasia echoed Olarenshaw's confidence.

"We certainly had some very strong indications that it would be signed today," Fantasia said.

In other trade week news, speculation is mounting that Sydney has offered Carlton spearhead Brendan Fevola a four-year deal, in what has been the first sign of interest in the forward.

Nothing so far........

Waiting patiently.

[Cyberdoggie]

There was a quick snippett in the news with Rodney saying that Brian has decided to remain a bulldog for the rest of his playing career.

I was waiting for the press conference after the news but obviously sen and kb think it's more important to talk about horse racing.
