yep agree

I am starting to like his form of late. Backs into packs and goes in hard when required

That holding the ball against was rubbish too

Was really happy to see him go backwards blind and wear the hit, got straight back up and kept going.

Still questionable under real pressure and makes particularly poor decisions going into the fwd 50.

Did a nothing kick into the forward line trying to be too cute when there was nothing on but he did play a good game. We'll be a good team when he's our depth HBF

When we have superior options at chb / hbf



With Chaplin and houli being depth rather than expendable. The back line and aide as a whole will be strong .

Thought Houli had been exceptional the last two game.
Has really put his body on the line and gone when he's had to.
Let's hope he can keep it up.

Plucked a ripper ball out of the air in defence in the dying minutes to save one of the big desperate pushes by Sydnos at one stage, he has been throwing himself into it lately.

A few weeks back he copped a heavy hit and realised it aint so bad, dusted himself off and got right back into it. Sometimes the fear of copping it is worse than wearing it

You might be right there Scarface but I reckon he's been better all season in that area. I'm shocked and rapt at the same time. Didn't think you could teach courage ?
It was brought up tonite on AFL360. Robbo made the hard call on his history of not going hard enough and Dimma agreed.

Houli made Mark Robinson's top 10 'likes':

4. BACHAR HOULI: If this bloke wasn’t playing for the Tigers they would be in far greater strife. Arguably his best game of his career against the Cats with career-best disposals (33), career-best tackles (9) and one off his career-best rebounds (eight). A simple tactic to stop Richmond’s run is to close Houli down. Clubs try, but they can’t do it. Go on, say it aloud, NINE TACKLES FOR HOULI. The whole Carlton team had 47.

He was magnificent and kudos

Needs a shave. And no, not being racist. Batch needs a haircut as well

maybe the beard is the source of his playing ability?
