1:00 PM Tue 21 Jun, 2011Just past the midway mark of the 2011 season, a new contender has emerged for the dual unofficial titles of the AFL’s most improved player, and best recruit from a rival league club . . . Bachar Houli.

The dashing left-footer is averaging 21.7 disposals per game and is ranked No. 5 at the Club for total disposals, with 261. He has collected 20 disposals or more six times, with a career equal-high 31 touches v Port Adelaide in the Round 10 Darwin clash.
