Sadly I reckon he’s done for the year.
Lambert did come back for the prelim with the same injury but was a shadow of his earlier season form and he had an extra week to do so.
You can’t carry players in finals - we learnt that the hard way in last years prelim.

Lambert played finals but not very well; no where near his damaging best in the Prelim. Stacky's game is built on his agility and power through his feet and ankles so as much as it hurts me to say it, I'd prefer to get him right for a solid pre-season.
He initially played very well as a forward so perhaps his form drop was caused by something else. He can play the game, reads it well, anticipates what is about to unfold, not selfish, great agility, very clean one-touch player, great kick, great mark and has proved he can play forward or back. Moving out of the backline did not add to his form drop.
His ankle injury could only have been avoided if he did not play at all. It's just the risk you take with playing footy, VFL or AFL.
I don't know the extent of his original calf tightness (which can indicate a minor strain) but he may have needed more than just 1 week out and it depends how well he did his re-hab. He needs his lower legs fully fit and that issue may have caused his poor game v. Blues, we don't know.
None of us like the fact that Stacky is injured but that's just footy, like the Rance injury and Jack's time out with a PCL, s*** happens. It's how he responds and gets ready for next season that will decide how good he can become. We all hope he is not so satisfied with what he's done this year that he thinks he's got nothing more to prove and becomes a "one-season wonder".

Bubbles!!! Welcome back mate!
Dimma told one of the coterie groups he was dropped for disciplinary reasons.
Kick up the ass unfortunately turned into something else

Lambert also had gastro, didn't he?
Anyway, unlikely we'll see our young superstar again this year, which is a real shame.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
It can be a good thing when a player misses a premiership opportunity and is driven to take his chance next year, driving the whole group forward in doing do.
nice to see PRE is working in Waikiki , welcome back Struggler
Only so many Hawaiian tropic models can keep a man tied down CC
I heard something similar from someone who knows a thing or two.
There was the suggestion Stackman might have been enjoying himself a little too much out and about late at night.
But nothing seems to have come of it.
In Dimmas press release he says Stacky thinks he’ll be back next week!
Love the optimism

Please make it happen. We need him to replace Short and give us another option for Cameron if Grimes is needed to plug another hole.
Saw Stackman earlier today, still walking around with a significant limp.
Told me the Doc is looking at second week of finals, but Stack is pushing for next week.
From what i saw today, he is no chance for next week. IMO at best, he might make it back for the VFL grand final (if week make it).
