Hardwick backs Houli rating

Hardwick believes Houli, who was starved of opportunities in a four-year career at Essendon, is elite for the position he now plays in at Tigerland.

“As a half-back flanker, he is elite at what he does,” Hardwick said.

“He wins the ball back well, he uses it effectively by hand and foot, and he plays the role that we want in the side to an elite level.”

Bachar is a better player than I first thought and Brandon Ellis is a very good young footballer

Houli sets the bar higher

Richmond defender Bachar Houli has been a revelation for the Tigers since crossing from Essendon at the end of 2010.

But despite two years of excellent performances – he has played every game since arriving at Tigerland – the 24-year-old wants to take his game to another level.

Heading into the 2013 season, he has a simple goal.

“Just to keep improving.  For me as a running half back, I want to get the defensive side of my game up there, and let the offensive side look after itself,” Houli said.

I know you can't read too much into pre season but have been super impressed by Bachar's work. Looks set for his best season yet..

[Francois Jackson]

Would like to see him go to Coburg this week. With Buldogs to come Nick V could come straight in for him.

Worst game I've seen him play tonight.

He was hopeless

[DCrane]

His first 2 games have been below par, but I think he might have one more chance left in the bank after 46 straight games for the tiges.
But then again, I thought Nahas' 35 goals last year might have bought him an extra week but I was wrong.

[tony_montana]

No more chances fromme, he's being cut from my dream team, wtf was I thinking?

[Loui Tufga]

I agree, we can't keep carrying both Grigg and Houli. One needs to go and knights or Vlas needs to come in.
