Richmond's Bachar Houli was a surprise nomination as an elite [by Champion Data], but while his data sample was small, his five games for Essendon in 2010 were solid and his numbers at the Tigers this year don't lie.

With Ellis. Morris. Dea.  You would think houli will be asked to move up to wing/forward line.

Jimmy goldenballs gave the one of the only two elite players to Richmond for free.

I think running defender role is the perpect position for Houli. It exploits all of his strengths and allows him to move up to the wing to penetrate the F50 on the attack. Not a real in and under type but has beautiful poise and skills. Has more run than Dea though Morris could be great here too unless the coaches are grooming hom for the midfield rotations.

[Coach]

I thought Morris was a back pocket?

[Judge Roughneck]

Morris. Rance. Grimes
Ellis. Post. Batchelor.

Even without dea if Ellis is in the side the is only 3 spots in the backline. ( or even of he isn't. You'd assume we'd play ey least 3 kpp).

It's a good sign to find new back man and more our better players (deledio,
Newman, houli, conca) into more forward/midrotation

[JVT]

I think Newman would move before Houli, purely because Newman would work better there.

I'm a big fan of Houli off the bank flank too. Mind you, if someone like Ellis was able to in time play to the level of Houli, I'd love to see him play off a wing as well. Though I still think he's one of the best we have for the HBF job at the moment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xodsPPbN4Xg I love at 0:50 how he first dealt with his immediate opponent, then accelerated for some room and then looked up to assess the options instead of just blazing away. And I reckon it's pretty vivid in most people's memories, but the goal at 1:10 

The Bummer tards at work still reckon Houli is a dud.

The following article was featured in the 2011 Fighting Tiger Yearbook.


It was just as well Bachar Houli invited two tables full of family and friends to the Richmond Best and Fairest this year.

Richmond’s 2010 pre-season draft recruit didn’t turn up to Crown Palladium anticipating a top-five finish in the Jack Dyer Medal, but by the end of the night, after a whirlwind first season at Tigerland, he was on the stage accepting the Fred Swift Medal for his fourth placing.

“To be honest, it was probably one of the greatest moments of my life,” Houli said.

“Footy is not an individual sport, but to come from another club, play 22 games, and achieve what I did, is hard to describe.

“I’m rapt to be recognised in the top five this year, but I know I haven’t reached my peak yet, and I want to do everything I can to help Richmond achieve success.”
