Hardwick also confirmed today.  Stupid.

He hasn't played for 7 weeks wasn't in great form before that and had delayed start due to a calf complaint.

Actually smart to be cautious

Houli on SEN said he really missed footy when he was away from the hub. He added that while he is 32 he feels he still has more to offer.

So it sounds like he wants to go on next year.

Was shaky at the start of the year but has come back strongly.
I don’t think he’s the type of player who will play on when he knows his body or form isn’t up to it. Has earned the right to make the call himself I reckon.

Bachar Houli

State of play: Richmond’s only concern around Bachar Houli would be whether the 32-year-old wants to go around for another season – especially if he tasted premiership success for the third time in his career. The rebounding defender has been one of the first picked in Damien Hardwick’s team over the last five years and proven to be a durable player at Richmond, with an absence in 2020 coming due to the birth of his son. It’d appear likely he will ink a one-year deal over coming months.

Give him a year on less money.

Played well since return.

Caro said Houli is too connected to Richmond.

Even Eddie said Houli would be mad to leave Richmond and join Essendon.

Lloyd said he wouldn't like it if Essendon played a 32 year old Houli ahead of a 21-22 year old.

LOL bloody typo. Yes it should be "mad".

-------------------------------------

Veteran journalist Caroline Wilson pointed out that Houli was heavily ingrained in the Tigers’ fabric, with the Bachar Houli Foundation branded in the club’s yellow and black colours.

Lloyd said it would be a “very strange decision” by Essendon to bring back Houli, who played 26 games in four seasons with the Bombers at the start of his AFL career, while McGuire urged Houli to remain with the Tigers.

“It would be total madness for Bachar Houli to leave Richmond,” McGuire told Footy Classified.

“He is such an institution there, he’s so loved. What Richmond have been able to do with the Muslim community and his leadership roles – he’s going nowhere, I would’ve thought.”

Essendon is keen to poach Bachar Houli from Richmond, 10 years after the defender left the Bombers, but Tigers star Dion Prestia is hopeful his mate will stay at Punt Rd.

“I don’t think Bachar is going too far. Obviously, he has the Bachar Houli Academy which is linked to Punt Road and I can’t see him leaving,” Prestia told the Herald Sun. “I am not too worried about that.

“Bachar is a great Richmond person and one of the nicest people you would ever meet. He will be around here and finish up with Richmond.”

Let him go. His crappy tap on cost us momentum at the end there. Stick to what you know. Hand balling players into pressure and nice high kicks

Bachar Houli

Got a good chunk of the footy but wasn’t as penetrating as he is at his best. Just the one score involvement too, which he’d want to lift given his usual output.
