Kane Lambert retires [merged]

still has not played in how long rules for some and rules for others.

Vlas played in the preseason, lambert hasn’t played since round 22 last year. And again their injuries are completely different.

[Rampsation]

Is there another Lambert type hiding in the 2nd tier of footy across Australia? Its time to go looking for one.

Vlas injury was kicking related had been running fine the entire time.

Lambert is a running machine and will go down as one of the best bargain recruits    along with Grimes, that have come to the club. Champion club men and players

PREMIERSHIP TIGER TO WAIT

RICHMOND free agent Kane Lambert is likely to get back into the senior fold after his hip injury before discussions on his contract start.

Lambert has played back-to-back games in the VFL after managing a hip injury over the pre-season but the triple premiership player is yet to get into contract talks to extend him beyond this season.

He picked up 25 disposals and kicked two goals last week at state league level.

The hard-working midfielder has been a central player in Richmond's flag era, with his defensive running and ball-getting ability a key factor in the Tigers' midfield under coach Damien Hardwick.

The Tigers have missed Lambert so far this season, with the 30-year-old not playing at senior level yet after 13 games last year in an injury-hit campaign.

Lambert reaches free agency after being a late starter at the top level, having been drafted as a 23-year-old rookie by Richmond at the end of 2014 after a number of strong VFL seasons.

He is one of five premiership Tigers who are free agents this year, with Jayden Short in discussions over a deal that could be as long as five years. – Callum Twomey

Hopefully he plays out the season to the standard we all know he can produce and is rewarding with a contract extension. I would absolutely be waiting until the final rounds of the season if not the end of the season to resign him though given his recent injury history.

Lambert as med sub next week surely.

Kane Lambert was held over from a VFL match on Sunday in the hope he will be available to take on the Eagles in what is a critical clash for both clubs given their struggles this season.

“Once again, it was a five-day break, so if he played today, he was no chance of playing over in Perth,” Hardwick said.

“We will try to get him through training and see how he goes. He just didn’t quite look comfortable enough … last week.

“He will have a run around (on Monday) and try (to) prove his fitness. We have a short session planned, so we have to make a call one way or the other pretty early.”

Beat me to it

Last night showed how important he is to us on a number of levels

A great leader

[camboon]

I was thinking the same.

Great leader and he is well respected  by the players. He  gets the run going which is vital

Listening to his interview last night I couldn’t help thinking this bloke will be a coach one day

Thank you Carlton for discarding him

Going by the latest vid on the RFC website, Lambert has pulled up well after the game (touchwood)  .
