Title: "Life and Death" - Richmond's back 6 creed
Post by: one-eyed on March 31, 2013, 12:58:04 PM
The Sunday Footy Show showed a pic of Houli on Thursday night with tape around his wrist with the words "LIFE AND DEATH" written on it. They asked Griggy about it and he said our whole defensive group came up with that and are using it (as a creed) to say fight to stop opposition goals as if your life depended on it. To Grigg's knowledge only Houli had it written down.

Love it! 

It's great to see elements of the club rid the stain of mediocrity from its culture and wipe it clean.

Breaking down those walls of poo that has plagued it for 30 years.
Creating a new culture and a win at all costs mentality. I've been banging on about it for years and finally the club is ridding itself from those virulent toxins that have plagued it for years.
It's a great step. Building a new breed of winners on a foundation of victory and success.
A new horizon and prosperous future.

......It's about time too.

wallet did many of this at his time at tigerland

anyway it didnt  really work in the last qtr


we still are hopeless at stopping a run on and momentum v the opposition

every team knows we are mentally weak and can give up quick goals too easy

we must change this to be a top team

Interesting to see Houli have 'Life and Death' written on his hand but still be tentative about standing under the footy several times.

Clearly he was just reading the life part during those periods....

Can't remember the exact instances but there was a couple, reckon it was at the Punt Rd end when the footy came in high to half forward and Houli was under it and you could see he didn't want to go back.

Worst duck or look I saw was from Vickery early on in the game.  Went for a (semi)contested mark and heard some pressure - definitely wasn't looking at the ball when he dropped what should have been a very gettable catch.  Just as well he took plenty afterwards because it wasn't a good sign at the time.

Actions speak louder than words. If implement the sentiment will bring confidence. Need to be able to withstand surges from other teams.
