Make no mistake- Bachar will be a very good player for the Tigers. Even better than Grigg IMO. Grigg is a work horse, Bachar has some real skills.
Was treated really badly at the Bombers for a long time hence him not even turning upto the clubs B&F.
Really looking forward to see what he can do at Tigerland!

But why would he have been treated unfairly, just unlucky?

Hird today talking about Houli...

Bachar Houli was a notable absentee after his botched attempt to secure a trade to Richmond during last month's official exchange period.

"We'd love Bachar to be here on the list but he's made a decision that he doesn't want to be," Hird said.

"You cut your ties and you move on. We're a proud club and a club that's moving somewhere and if he doesn't want to be part of it, that's his decision."

Houli is expected to enter the NAB AFL Pre-season Draft, where he is expected to make his way to Punt Road.

Proud of what exactly Jimmy?

The way your Club treated Matthew Knights

Perhaps your proud of your constant denials on "On the Couch" when you kept saying week after week after week that you wouldn't be coaching Essendon when every man and his dog knew it wasn't true

Proud of how you spoke to a coach of another club while he was contracted to that Club...

Yep lot to be proud of there  :wallywink

I think he's proud of his 4 year, $5m contract which you might find will supplement the annual dividend he gets from Gemba.
Don't blame him, I'd be proud of that deal too.

Good stuff WP :clapping

Add also proud of refusing to trade Houli for a 3rd round pick and losing him for nothing because they told us they wouldn't use it and then delisting two players just a month later right before the draft :stupid. Seriously what a rabble to stuff up like that  :rollin. Whether Houli makes it or not, I hope our pick 47 becomes a 10-year player to really shove their own stupidity and arrogance up 'em  :thumbsup

[Comment From joejoe: ]
Hi Paul, do you think the Tiges will secure Houli in the pre-season or late in the national draft?
   
   
Paul Daffey:
Hi Joe,
I can't answer this with any authority. Richmond has made some mistakes in drafting cast-offs from other clubs, but admittedly that was before Hardwick's time. Maybe he figures the Tigers need a bit of grunt around the packs in a young team.

Certainly can't Paul - that is nothing answer that doesn't even come close to answering the bloody question

Wasn't the question "do you think the Tigers will get Houli in the PSD or ND?  ???

This is a pretty simple YES or NO question to me

Answer = YES
