Bachar Houli [merged]

[TigerTimeII]

Hope he can play because he sounds like trouble. Not a good sign that he refuses to show up at the b&f.

so what he stayed away, he had no business in going to their b and f when all yr he was never made feel part of the team

and y would he go when he wants to be a tiger

[Ramps]

X is right on this. Houli not turning up has nothing to do with his character. All I ever heard was that Houli is a pretty decent kid.

[one-eyed]

The line being pushed by Essendon is that a 3rd round pick (pick 50?) is worth nothing to them as they are only going to use 3 picks in this draft with Hird wanting to have a look at their current list next year under his coaching.

[big tone]

First sign for me that the great man James is delusional!! They have a much worse list than ours...IMO

Gee that's really nice James ... Is that supposed to mean something to us?

Oh I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Here have a really good pick for your VFL player. I'd hate to pay you what he is worth and then you not to get any benefit.

Very silly of them considering how strong the Top 50 in this draft is meant to be

Jordan McMahon turned up to our B&F and say what you like about his on field abilities - it took character and respect for the club to show up on the night after the year he has had.
It should not matter what kind of year any player has at the club, the B&F is an official club function and it is basic respect for the club - after all what do they say about club and the individual.
You may not think basic respect and courtesy are important values to a football club but I do and Bachar showed a lack of both to not turn up to an official club function while under contract.

[jezza]

The argument from Essendon fans is they are only going to use 3 draft picks so something that late from us is worthless. Would have thought it is better than  losing Houli for nothing as it could at least be used in another trade. And if Essendon are only using that many picks, they are more deluded about the state of their list than I thought.

My only slight worry with this scenerio is what West Coast will do in the PSD? My guess is nothing and let him go to use but still....

Look, Bachar Houli isn't exactly setting the world on fire with interest from other clubs, this rubbish about a bigger pick is a beatup from Essendon, they are lucky to get what we offer.  If he was such hot property they would be organising a better trade with another club as we speak, fact is, there is no interest.  We were targeted as a low finishing club with better picks imo.  I smell some duplicity in the whole thing.  Same with the whole Grigg thing.  Yeah they all want to be Tigers...
