Tigers draw a 'line in the sand' ahead of Lions clash

RICHMOND is preparing to draw "a line in the sand" against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Saturday night, defender Bachar Houli says.
The Tigers were shock losers in round two, falling to the Western Bulldogs by 19 points at the MCG. But it was the way in which his side lost that concerned Houli the most.
"It's just about attitude. Sometimes it happens with three or four players with certain efforts one action leads to another," Houli said on Tuesday morning.
"We're still growing as a team. I think we've come a long way but it's about rectifying our mistakes earlier and not following up with the same mistakes.
"Unfortunately that wasnt the case on the weekend. We carried out similar errors and it cost us the game."
Houli dismissed the notion the Tigers lack strong on-field leadership and revealed an honest feedback session with coach Damien Hardwick formed a critical part of the club's review of the loss to the Bulldogs.
"The coach gives you honest feedback - it's about agreeing and accepting. If there's a contest we didn't go 100 per cent at, the coach would pull us up about that," Houli said.
"We're going to move forward, draw a line in the sand and not make the same mistakes."
Richmond is hopeful star midfielder Brett Deledio will be fit to return for the clash against the Lions, along with Shane Edwards who was a late withdrawal ahead of the match-up against the Dogs because of a calf issue.
The dual best and fairest winner missed the duel with the Bulldogs through suspension, but would not have played regardless as he continues to battle his own calf problem.
Deledio and Edwards were both on light duties at training on Tuesday, completing stationary ball work and jogging laps with Reece Conca (hamstring).
Deledio left the track early after a conversation with Tigers physio Anthony Schache, but Houli said he expects both Deledio and Edwards to rejoin full training on Thursday to prove their fitness for Saturday night.
"They bring a great intensity to the game, they're hard at the footy, they're great when it comes to second, third efforts, we kind of lacked that a little bit at the weekend," Houli said.
Conca is still up to a fortnight away from a return as he deals with an ongoing hamstring concern.
"It's a little bit disappointing, but Im only a couple of weeks away, so its not quite as bad as what we initially thought," Conca told the club's website.

Tigers lacked right AFL attitude: Houli
AAP/ West Australian
April 14, 2015
Richmond defender Bachar Houli says his AFL side didn't turn up with the right attitude in their 19-point loss to the Western Bulldogs last round.
After an impressive opening round win over Carlton, the Tigers were off the pace at the MCG.
Richmond defender Bachar Houli says his AFL side lacked the right attitude against the Bulldogs.
"Our attitude was the main bit that came out of our review," Houli said.
"We lacked intensity in certain areas and it goes to show that if you don't come with the right attitude you're going to come out second best.
"We've held each other accountable and we're going to come out with the right attitude from the first bounce."

FFS.
New age interviews.
Sadly, it's a massive reflection of their mindset and the now irremovable culture that is
embedded in Punt road.
I feel as though I'm reading a private schoolboys column about their inter-school comp,
one where everything is protected and winning is an accolade bestowed upon one for simply turning up.
"Everyone is a winner guys, even if you don't win"
Forget ANYTHING successful happening to this club.
They don't have a stuffn clue nor do they understand the true meaning of the word Team.

i think it's time those with a VFL attitude played there!

hhhhaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
oh dear oh dear it couldnt be funnier if they tried. what a rabble. they want to thank their lucky stars bl have some pretty key players out to injury other wise id back em to win.
how many times does the attitude have to fly out the window. before the line is actually drawn in the sand.
they seem to think doing nothing is drawing a line in the sand. they seem to think backing in blokes WHO CONSTANTLY FAIL is drawing a line in the sand. how many times does it have to happen for soething to ACTUALLY BE DONE.
NOW IM GOING TO READ IT AGAIN IT WAS GOLDEN.
-
It's hard to defend. Might be better they let actions speak for themselves
-
The real problem is that it shouldn't get to needing a line in the sand. If the attitude and effort is right then the line in the sand becomes moot, and the ONLY ones who control attitude and effort are the players individually and collectively. Top sides don't ever need line in the sand games.

If one needs to draw a line in the sand more than once,
they've already failed.
-
dimma is probably having lines rather than drawing lines the limpgot
-
We need a crunch ball
-
Hasnt this already been done after our last 2 finals performances?
Sick of hearing it
DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
-
how many times do these overpaid, under performing, prima dona scrote scabs have to be embarrassed when they turn up thinking it will just happen, before they realise what stuffing attitude is required, week in week out?
and don't tell us you do not lack on field leadership when, for the umpteenth time, you have just told us that they turned up with the wrong attitude, again!
When you smear poo on toast and try telling us it is caviar, the smell and taste give it away pretty quickly.
-
Instead of drawing a line in the sand, should't we be using the stick more effectively to write out an SOS? ;D

under performing prima donna scrote scabs. thats very good.
theres an old saying: you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time.
they keep coming up with this sort of rubbish, its clearly directed at appeasing the few or is it the majority?? who swallow the garbage.
there is no other reason for our players doing this type of article.
finally i think most are asking WHEN WILL THE COACHING STAFF FINALLY DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND AND ACTUALLY ACT. The players have had their chance how many times now.

Line in the sand and we're playing Brisbane :lol
I'd like to see the line in the sand before we played a tough side, like the Hawks, Swans or ...Bulldogs... :help

We are starting to sound like a characterless club like Nought drawing lines in the sand against weaker opposition. Hey Nought played Brissy last week after a 13 goal walloping the week before against the Crows. Sheesh we really are clutching at straws.
This club has no shame, no pride and certainly no guts.
RFC Recurring Failure Club.

The club clearly believes such verbal diahrea is rhetoric to the fans ears.
Scarier even still is nobody at the club seems to have been prepared for the loss on the weekend,
otherwise, one hopes, there would be some kind of strategy to deal with media.
Rolling the sand in the line out AGAIN is proof that - the place is about as professionally run as
a hot dog stand.
They deadset think they're playing finals and winning one this year, which imo is still placing the bar too low.
The Ironic Tigers.

why not do it last week?
why not before the hafey game?
same old crap from the lads
-
While we are busy drawing lines in the sand, the opposition is playing tough, hard team footy and winning...... :whistle
-
I'm heading up to Brissie on Saturday.
Family live near the beach, might head down there and draw my own line in the sand to see what actually happens when one does it
Will let you all know
;D

It makes a mockery of the club thinking it had improved enough to go deep into finals this year.

Is the word deep a pun?
-
Makes me cringe when players say crap like this.
Talk is cheap. What's the bet we don't see them walk the walk?
Issue is the leadership imo. If you can't get the players up its a coaching/captain problem.
-
im sure they can get the players up, its just that in the showers after the game doesnt count
-
Hard to say a line in the sand has been drawn yet as Brisbane are terrible but the most pleasing thing from tonight was how we buried them in the last. No mercy is part of the attitude we need to deliver on a regular basis.

Apparently the term has a completely different meaning in the middle East.
