That is the part of his game that he has improved that has blown me away. A few years ago I thought there was no way this guy makes it. He was a battler with limited skills, but the biggest problem was every time he got a shot on goal from more than 40m, he couldnt make the distance. Seriously, 35m was his range. Last night I remembered this as he was going back to take the shot. Nailed it from the 50. Impressive development from him in so many areas of his game. Starting to get serious attention from oppo teams now. And rightfully so.

I thought he had about 50 touches!
Every time Higgo got the ball I thought it was Lambert.

So cool!
Kicked some of the best goals in the finals last year
Sealer vs Geelong
First goal vs GWS
"Oh yes, yes, yes, yes" vs Adelaide
Plus the run down the wing that he didn't kick but resulted in "it's tiger time, that's what it is"

A grader?
He was in someone’s top 50 at the start of the year

incredible that he could do that, how the hell do they increase their kicking range? technique? leg power?
It could be fitness. At training he probably had the range, but in games, with fatigue, couldnt kick over 40m. Now after becoming a running machine, racks up 15+ km a game, he can take the kick no probs.

Turning into one of my favourites.
If I had a son Id tell him to watch how Kane plays.
He just keeps running.

I really love this bloke. He's a footballers footballer if you know what i mean. Real high footy IQ. To top it off, seems a real good bloke. The perfect type of guy to have around the club when you have a young list like we have.

He had hip spurs removed during last years pre season that have freeed up his kicking motion

Reckon we have a 22 that does this these days.
It's the swings and roundabouts that all clubs have where high draft picks don't make it but rookies and late picks more than make up for it.
That drunk guy that writes for the Sun and does a show on Fox.

Been a lot of talk about how much better he plays with Prestia in the team. The numbers totally bear this out. Check out his per game averages with and without Prestia over the last two years.
That is fantastic.
It's like they complete each other.
Move over Marcon. Lambert has found his soulmate.

Great post and agree I didn’t think he would make it. Credit to him and the FD.
