Kane Lambert retires [merged]

[dwaino]

Gets more up to speed every week. Will see himself lifted off the rookie list and onto senior list at the end of the year if he keeps it up I think.

Lambert ... sunrise ... sunset ... sunrise ... Gordon ...
We have a real old fashioned player here, the choice between the two is just so obvious!   Has taken a while to find his place & adjust to the speed of the game but he is worth the wait.  Tough, hard, composed, footy smart & rock solid!  Average kick, but makes up for it in other ways.  Kiss goodbye a 4th/5th round ND pick because we will be upgrading Lambert to the list.   

[Yeahright]

Apparently a shallow draft anyway so it'll free up a rookie spot to take a punt on another guy like this

He has only played 6 games?? I'd say that's pretty quick to adjust to the pace of AFL footy.
And he is better than an average kick.

Absolutely no penetration in his kick. Knew he couldnt make the distance from about 40 meters.
I like him though.

There is a massive difference between not being able to kick it very far and being an average kick.

I never said he was a bad kick.

It's a factor though

Just saw a bit of footage from the flirts quater when Lids caught Frawley holding the ball 20 meters from goal, 10 in from the boundary. The ball popped out and Lambert picked it up and could have quickly had a snap but had the presents of mind to stop and let Lids take his free kick at goal which he put through the middle.
It's small things like this that shows me he has a footy brain..and a future at this club.
 Nothing surer if it was Ellis he would have had a snap and most likely missed the goal..

Footy smarts is a rare commodity..lambert has it

Dimma talking about Lambert on 3aw:

* We were really happy that Kane limited Sam’s effectiveness. The majority of the time he did the job at stoppage and a little bit off the ball. I think he (Mitchell) had a lot of handballs, as compared to kicking. Sam Mitchell, for mine, is one of the barometers of Hawthorn. If you can limit his influence you can help yourself win the game and I thought young Lambert did a great job. He missed six or seven drafts and he’s come in and provided a really good impact for us thus far.

Miles on SEN too spoke about Lambert:

* He’s a similar player to Nathan Foley, I reckon, and we’ve probably missed that this year. He cracks in and he’s got a bit of speed on the outside and that bit of spark. In terms of his opportunity, I think he missed something like six or seven drafts. It’s a great story and he’s certainly taken that at the moment and, like everyone at the Club, I’m rapt for him. He’s going really well.
