SEN | Brian Lake is set to fight a ban from football in the wake of a suspension which pushed him over the threshold.
The three-time Hawthorn premiership player copped a two-game suspension playing for Caroline Springs in the Western Region Football League and subsequently received a letter informing him that he had been “de-registered as a player and official in line with the National Player & Official Deregistration Policy”.
The two-game ban has seen Lake pass beyond the AFL Victoria mandated threshold of 16 games suspended.
