Lambert on track to re-sign with Richmond

While an abundance of list management decisions are facing Richmond in the coming months, Kane Lambert is very likely to be at the club next year.

One of the the Tigers' recent drafting success stories, it's understood Lambert is on track to re-sign with the club.

Lambert, 24, was taken at pick 46 in the 2015 rookie draft, having forged a strong career in the VFL, first with the Northern Blues and then for Williamstown.

The midfielder/forward was elevated off the rookie list early last year, only to seriously injure a shoulder on debut against the Western Bulldogs in round two.

However he enjoyed a strong back half of the season, playing every game from his senior return in round 13 until year's end, including a solid showing in the elimination final loss to North Melbourne.

Lambert began 2016 brilliantly; he collected 28 disposals in the season-opener against Carlton. However after a serviceable opening month to the campaign, his season was interrupted when a collision during the round six match against Port Adelaide led to a cracked rib and punctured lung. Lambert spent time in hospital as a result of the incident.

He has been largely subdued since returning in round nine against Fremantle, but it's believed the Tigers have little doubt Lambert will remain at Punt Road in 2017.

Seemingly stuck in a mid-ladder rut, nearly half of Richmond's list remains uncontracted beyond this season.

While Corey Ellis and Nick Vlastuin penned new deals last month, restricted free agent Ty Vickery, David Astbury, Jake Batchelor, Troy Chaplin, Ivan Maric, Shaun Hampson and Ben Griffiths are all yet to re-sign with the Tigers.

Youngster Reece McKenzie announced his retirement on Thursday after battling mental health issues.

The Tigers, who were beaten by Collingwood in the race to lure Greater Western Sydney star Adam Treloar last year, have been linked to Gold Coast's Dion Prestia and Giant Jack Steele. Both players' deals expire at season's end.

Been playing too deep lately for me (haven't see PA game yet). Needs more midfield time. Tough little man.

Quick, lock him up before he gets poached 

[🏅Dooks]

Form is concerning. Might not be the player we thought he could be.

It was an extra $650K and a job a MMM for his girlfriend Bents...

[Stalin]

An extra 100k-150k , on top of the 'under' money ball offer we would of put up

Get her a job anywhere FFs...

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I like this guy as he is at least tough. However, he has not played well lately and needs to be dropped. As people rightly say, he is a depth player who can come in and play a role. We have been playing him like he is a starting 22 player. Well, I guess he is in our team, as it is so putrid....

[TigerMonk]

was shocking last night considering conditions suited him

[Heart of Darkness]

Has been poor since his injury. Agree that playing him so deep doesn't suit him either. Needs s spell in the VFL.
