The difference is though WAT, there was a system to getting Houli. It wasnt just dumb luck.

I do wonder how much of this we have to thank Knighter for. Was he in on it too?  :shh

I know it wasn't dumb luck Al, but it was luck that gave the bumbers nothing for him.

Agree Y&BB, nothing to do with luck, all to do with arrogance and rampant stupidity on the Bummers behalf.

Is this question a crack at Bacher for being a Muslim?

Im not sure if it was intended, but i think its reasonable to say the use of the word 'faith' in this context is not PC and personally offensive.

Is he really Bojangles? If so I'd like to hear his version of events regarding this article.

Houli's new AFL ambassadorial work (Age)

Players lead multicultural charge
Caroline Wilson
February 15, 2012

Nine footballers have been employed by the AFL under a new, expanded multicultural program.

Daw, Nic Naitanui, Leigh Montagna and Bachar Houli will all be paid outside the salary cap to head up the program, under which the competition will continue to focus on winning the hearts and minds of Australia's multicultural community.

That core group will be joined by Harry O'Brien, David Rodan, former NRL duo Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau, along with Hunt's young Nigerian-born teammate Joel Wilkinson.

The AFL has identified that multicultural footballers make up about 10 per cent of 2012 club lists - roughly the same as the percentage of indigenous players.

Under a deal in partnership with Australia Post and encouraged by the completion of the new collective bargaining agreement Daw, Naitanui, Montagna, Houli and O'Brien will earn an estimated total $170,000 outside the salary cap in their ambassadorial work.

Richmond's Houli has been employed to help develop AFL programs across Victoria's six Muslim schools attended by about 15,000 children. The only practising Muslim in the league last season, he has been joined in 2012 by St Kilda recruit Ahmed Saad, who will almost certainly make his senior debut this year.

Bachar continues to show the way
By Tony Greenberg

Tue 28 Feb, 2012


It’s been less than 15 months since Bachar Houli arrived at Richmond from Essendon, but in the time since, his overall contribution to the Yellow and Black cause has been immense.

In the lead-up to the 2011 season, Houli convinced a combined total of 70 family members and friends to follow his fortunes at his new football home by signing up as Richmond members.

He then proceeded to well and truly repay their, and the Tigers’, faith in him, producing a fine season of football in a sweeping role across half-back, to finish fourth in the Jack Dyer Medal.

Far from resting on his laurels after the impressive instant impact he had at Tigerland, Houli has taken his persuasive powers to another level, signing a grand total of 94 family members and friends as 2012 Richmond members.

This fellow has great character and maturity for his age. Just gets the best out of himself and acts as a great role model on and off the field for the young fellows. I hope he makes the rebounding backman role his this year.
