Bachar Houli [merged]

[Yeahright]

I reckon I have been pretty consistent over the years on players I don’t rate and pretty consistent why.
Beliis from almost his first game, Houli in the last 3 or 4 years and to a lesser extent Grigg.
The first 2 are as soft as I have ever seen at AFL level. Ever!

So I reckon if I see things I feel are soft I’ll say it and I do not see it with Short. Not even a little bit.

Ellis poos me in a weird way that yes he’s soft. But then he goes back with the flight and takes good marks at times or at least spoils (like today)

Houli again was one of the best for Richmond, in its 27-point victory over Greater Western Sydney at the MCG last Sunday, racking up a team-high 30 disposals, along with five inside-50s, eight marks and 647 metres gained.

It was the sixth time in his 13 games this season that Houli has had 30 disposals or more.

To underline the important run-and-carry Houli consistently provides the Tigers’ team with, he is ranked third competition-wide for total bounces.

He’s also ranked seventh for metres gained per game, ninth for effective disposals per game, and 10th for uncontested possessions per game.

He was allowed total free reign of the half back.

Leon Cameron admitted at quarter time they weren't going to try and negate him at all for the rest of the game, despite his impact.

I sincerely doubt he'll be allowed that kind of freedom going forward.

No mention of his man, a first gamer, kicking a third of their entire score and getting in their best players??
He is a backman after all....

Houli talking about his life, family, faith and footy.

Serious question

Do kick ins after a point is scored count to the kickers stats when they run out of the square?

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Yep.

That is literally why his stats are so high. Up to this point I thought I was the only person who had recognised it while people in the media keep writing about how good his year has been...

Blessings be upon the bearded one !

You could, in fact, mount a case that Houli is playing the best football of his AFL career this season.

He is averaging averaging 27.9 disposals, 6.0 marks and 5.0 rebound-50s per game.

And, to underline the important run-and-carry Houli consistently provides Richmond’s team with, he is ranked second in the competition for bounces. He’s also ranked 10th for uncontested possessions per game, 12th for metres gained per game and 19th for disposals per game.

Six times in his 14 games this season, Houli has racked up 30 disposals or more, with an AFL career-high 38 touches against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium in Round 11.

The Kick-In King...

[Assange Tiger 😎]

I mean, look at what the courageous Outsiders Leader has been saying.......

[WilliamPowell]

He is 2nd on the comp for bounces because he runs 5 metres and 8 times out of 10 and bounces the thing

Meaningless stat IMO

Shaddap you pack of infidels, Bachar is my man, he is just smart enough to focus on what needs to be done and not get his magnificent beard all mussed up for no good reason, may a thousand virgin mobile phones await him in valhalla.
