Bachar Houli [merged]

[Jackstar 1960]

6 weeks
Broken wrist

[Francois Jackson]

he needs to rest up and come back in round 20 for trade value.

he is average and we dont need him. Alah can have him back now

The new Andrew Raines ....loved by the media ...loved by the opposition too because he turns the ball over..

[mat073]

I actually thought Bacher would go alright this year with the introduction of Yarran.

Thought he might get off the chain a bit ( with Yarran attracting more attention ) and do some damage with his "elite" kicking .

Unfortunately as we approach the halfway mark of the season that plan is yet to get off the ground.

[Yeahright]

Any news on his injury ? With out him and mcintosh off halfback we somehow won the game. Would we have been better or worse off with him ? Yes he's soft as butter but be provides drive off halfback. Turnover riddled drive that is.

Maybe it shows the over reliance on him. We look for him at all times and the opposition only have to apply slight pressure and he becomes too fumbly. Without him we looked for other options and had versatility which made us less predictable

RICHMOND defender Bachar Houli is expected to miss up to 12 weeks following wrist surgery on Monday.

The 28-year-old hurt his wrist at training on Thursday and missed Saturday night's thrilling one-point victory against the Sydney Swans.

The Tigers are understood to be awaiting an exact prognosis but expect Houli will spend a lengthy stint on the sidelines.

Houli has been a key player in the Tigers backline and is contracted for 2017.

He is yet to have the chance to play alongside Chris Yarran who was recruited from Carlton to play as a running defender but is yet to play a game for the Tigers due to injury.

More to come

Wrist surgery puts Tiger backman out for 8-10 weeks

RICHMOND defender Bachar Houli is expected to miss between eight and 10 weeks following wrist surgery on Monday.

The 28-year-old hurt his wrist at training on Thursday and missed Saturday night's thrilling one-point victory against the Sydney Swans.

The Tigers are understood to be awaiting an exact prognosis but expect Houli will spend a lengthy stint on the sidelines.

Houli has been a key player in the Tigers backline and is contracted for 2017.

He is yet to have the chance to play alongside Chris Yarran who was recruited from Carlton to play as a running defender but is yet to play a game for the Tigers due to injury.

Houli has played 118 games with the Tigers after 26 matches with Essendon and triggered a clause that sees him a certainty to play on with the Tigers next season.

Houli told K-Rock Football on Saturday night he had been looking forward to playing alongside Yarran since the Tigers secured the ex-Blue during last year's trade period.

"Hopefully we can play some footy together this year just to show fans that we have picked up Chris to in a way give me a bit of a chop out. What is more exciting is seeing young Corey Ellis take it to the next level," Houli said.

"He is showing some glimpses that he can carry the ball and deliver the ball really well off the half-back so that takes a bit of pressure off myself and Chris as well, so as much as we're all waiting for Chris to bounce back, we've got some really good talent."

I am a tad happy with that news.
All I need now is for BEllis to do a slight hammy and its complete.

It's bad when it's come to this.

So who do we upgrade? The cream?

Who would you upgrade?

IMO its a really good opportunity to upgrade someone that maybe isn't quite 100% ready. Give them a few games and let them see what is required at the level. Maybe Chol or Moore?? Both have shown good signs in the VFL. Nothing really to lose.

Thoughts??
