Player Watch #23: Kane Lambert - Retired effective immediately

[guruisatiger]

Lots of goosebumps moments watching Kane Lambert's show reel. Wow. What a killer he was at clutch moments. We should have nicknamed him The Dagger!

Will go down as a Tiger great. Thanks for the memories Kane.

In tears watching this,, wow what a champion
A true legend and a huge legacy he has left
Thanks toad, look after Bruno woof woof

His speech to the players is up. Very emotional. Big week for the club this week with his retirement and Shedda’s 300th. Lets hope we are up for the fight on Sunday and do it for Kane and Shane

Amazing speech. Dimma holding back tears.

 

[_RT_]

Farewell Kane. Will forever hold a place in the hearts of Richmond fans for the part he played in bringing success to Richmond. Hopefully he is kept around as a coach in some way.

Such a Humble Tiger Man!!!
amazing

 

[Growapair]

He was the man in 2020, his two goals in the 4th quarter of the prelim against Port was the only reason we made the grand final. His composure is surely missed.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Great tiger did the right thing by the club

 

[tigersab]

One of the best and so under rated. What a bloody legend and what an amazing retirement speech. Tears! Would have been a great candidate for captainancy (if only his hip was OK). Hope you stick around the Tiges for years to come.

 

[cairo tiger]

amazing speech, hes got coach written all over him. amazing young man.

 

[BILC]

You're a star Lambo, thankyou for all the amazing memories.

Tiger for life.

 

[Dont_Argue]

Dimma”s recpaction to Lambos kind and honest words is a sight to behold….

Could always count on Kane to stand up in big moments! Port prelim final in 2020 when he kicked 2 clutch final quarter goals to win us the game stands out most. Incredible club man

Interested on the timing… effective immediately. Could it be evidence that the club is conceding that we are unlikely to make finals and therefore no point trying to get him up for a last roll of the dice. No other explanation on why this is coming this week, as opposed to season end or earlier on. This chronic condition has been there since start of the year.

Could also explain why Dimma lashed out… must be so frustrated at how the season went south over the last weeks

 

[DickieKnee]

Absolute champion for us. If it wasn't for his hip I'd reckon he would have been a Monty to take the captaincy from Cotch this year after hearing his speech.

 

[_RT_]

Wouldn't be against Kane being put on as a development coach first and foremost and work his way towards becoming an assistant or future head coach down the track.

Im not crying, you are
That got me bad

Kane Lambert is the heart and soul of a true Richmond man!
God I love this club

 

[tony__montana]

One of our best. What a player he has been for us.

Dont let him go!

 

[dean33]

Thought Lambert played really well, took some strong marks for a bloke that's only 178cm.
Also liked that Castagna kid, got plenty of it, didn't use it exceptionally well though.
If Lambert keeps to that standard in the next 2 NAB games I'd hope he's a starter come round 1.

All the best lambo what a star.

Loved this post from way back in 2015, pretty much nothing has changed with the castagna kid lol

 

[Area51]

Great speech by a Richmond Man.

Dimma is right so much can be learned from the way he went about it.

 

[OnTheRocks]

A fine player for your mob and a big loss. Tough shoes to fill. Respect

 

[RoaringTiger]

Such a quality person, its no surprise we have had so much success with people like him, cotchy, dave astbury etc leading the way. And a bloody good footballer. Hopefully he stays at the club in some capacity.

 

[voorhees]

my God, the retirement speech to the team mates is just a heart string puller.
A multi million dollar hollywood production doesn't come close.. A player saying goodbye to his premiership mates, now that's emotion.

I think he is just cooked. He said it himself, he can't contribute anymore. He could to some extent at the start of the year.
