Richmond forward Kane Lambert said the Tigers had been put through "a refresher" on their game style for late in games when they hold a manageable lead following last Friday night's loss to Collingwood.

Speaking at Punt Road Oval ahead of Tuesday's Brando's Buddies clinic, Lambert said ultimately it was down to the players to carry out the plan on field.

"We trained this all summer and unfortunately we failed to execute," Lambert said. 

"It's out of the coaches' hands at that time of the game and as players we take responsibility.

"We should have been better in that last five minutes."

On his own form, Lambert was pleased with the impact his growing fitness base and increased size had had in the opening two rounds.

The 24-year-old, who arrived at the Tigers as a mature-age VFL recruit, has been particularly impressive late in games and he admitted he was a fan of the new interchange cap "to some degree". 

"With the rotations being capped at 90 we've got to find a way to stay on the ground longer and be more efficient," he said.

"If that can be late in games and I can use it to my advantage then I'm happy with that."
