Still playing some good football is Houli.

Should be his last year tho as he is ageing, prone to soft tissue injuries, and blocking the development of a younger option. Same with Cotchin. Astbury too although he doesn't seem to have the soft tissue issues.

Cotchin can go on if he gives up the captaincy and only plays -say- 15 H&A games a year with less time on ground and stints up forward... :shh

Houli should pack it in before the MSD so we can get Josh Green or Jackson Callow... :shh :shh

Assuming he gets picked?
He's been picked.

Saturday night's match will mark star Tiger Bachar Houli’s 200-game milestone with the Club.

A crucial contributor for Richmond across his 11 seasons at the club, the triple premiership defender and 2019 All-Australian has averaged 22.6 disposals per game throughout his time at Tigerland.

Played well earlier this year but you have to wonder if some of our vets are struggling week to week. Same with Jack and Astbury - started the season well but now they are struggling to win contests and impact the games.

I hope Houli retires so we can draft a big midfielder in the MSD.

Really want Soldo to have a crack and returning later this year.

Time for Bachar to give it away. Looked real bad when he wouldn’t run back with the flight

Bachar won't be retiring so...

I'm expecting Soldo to go on the LTI list, so we can have a MSD pick

Its the only way to get it done

Was the old Houli last night. Needs to start performing the way he plays in the big dance or the end will come fast.

well then it doesnt get done. End of story.

soldo wont be going on the LTI so no mid season pick.

Houli’s attack on the ball / man has always been fringy at best, but his run, carry and delivery more than made up for that. Right now he can’t kick over a jam tin and he misses more targets than a blind skeet shooter.

Only reason I'm flagging Soldo on the LTI list is because he's just had more surgery to clean up his medial ligament. So that's more rehab time for him. Just think he is going to struggle to get back this year. His knee wasn't a straight forward ACL, there was alot more damage than that
