September 9, 2015Richmond — Kane LambertALMOST one year ago, Lambert produced a scintillating individual performance in Williamstown’s VFL semi-final against Werribee.
His four goals — three came in the fourth term — and 32 disposals won the game for the Seagulls, as well as the hearts of Richmond, which later picked him up in the rookie draft.
This September, Lambert has the opportunity to make the same impact on footy’s grandest stage.
After an injury-interrupted start to the season, Lambert cemented his spot in Richmond’s best 22 towards the latter half of the season. Between Rounds 16 and 23, he booted seven goals and averaged 20 disposals, nine contested possessions, four marks, four clearances and three inside 50s.
With the ability to win his own ball due to his sharp, tough skills around the stoppages, Lambert could have a major influence this month.
He proved last year that he could perform on the big stage, albeit at the level below the AFL.
And Lambert would undoubtedly enhance his reputation as a big-game player should he help get the Tigers get over the line for their first finals win since 2001.
