AFL Women's career
Western Bulldogs

Lambert missed the Bulldogs' round 2 match, being sidelined due to injury.[6] She returned to the team the following week playing against Melbourne at VU Whitten Oval.[7]
Collingwood
Lambert was traded to Collingwood in May 2017.[8] She was packaged with the Bulldogs' first round draft selection (3rd overall) in exchange for the 1st, 4th and 12th picks in the 2017 AFL Women's draft.
Collingwood re-signed Lambert for the 2019 season during the trade period in June 2018.[9]
The position of coach in the AFL Women's All-Australian team is traditionally awarded to the coach of the premiership-winning team; as no premiership was awarded in 2020, the coach position was not awarded.
