Bachar Houli [merged]

I thought Baker was fine the last few weeks but ideally should be in the forward line for me.

Tell you what though, he has some tenacity and balls in defence, makes up for a few of our softer players

[WilliamPowell]

If they haven't got it yet the club needs to get his signature before the prelim, or the price will just keep going up.

The price won't be going up. He has an offer

The offer is the offer, won't be changing IMO

We have cap pressures, players need to understand that. If they want to remain part of something special then they sign.

Great club's have players who forgo more money to keep lists together

I know it sounds harsh but it is how it is.

Houli had a very average game, easily his worst for the year. He couldn't get the space he usually gets, they were onto that and nor could he run himself into the game.
But it has been a ripping year, best I can recall for the Tiges
Yes he gets the 'cheap ones out the back' but isn't getting the ball to the best kick in the immediate vicinity part of the design? Do you really want Broad munging it forward?

Your post makes no sense, Houli has a stinker of a game by his previous standards, when for the first time in his life he is asked to be a genuine defender.

No kick outs no cheap out the back receives just being responsible for a player and he struggled.

And after this you say his price is going up????????????????????

Good post....

Would Houli be AA if he didn’t take the kick ins this year??
Does a Houli type backman that only averages 18 possessions a game become AA??

Honestly Houli is the least of our issues people just don't understand his role his asked to play.

100% agree. I love the kid and am happy for him to be out there.

Big balls, sticky hands, has a real go. Not afraid to stand up for his mates either.

[Rampsation]

Houli has been a terrific player for us. He kicks well. He is fit. He has another 2 years in him in my opinion.

[mat073]

I thought we were done Houli bashing.

Surely he answered all his critics 30th September 2017.

A lot of opposition supporters wish Houli played at their club.

Excellent news

[one-eyed]

RICHMOND defender Bachar Houli has capped a career-best season by inking a new contract at Punt Road for 2020.

Fresh off his maiden Virgin Australia AFL All Australian blazer, the 31-year-old will extend his AFL career into a 14th season.

Despite averaging a career-high 27.7 disposals this season, the former Bomber was forced to wait until recent weeks to receive a contract offer.

He has also provided a significant contribution off-field after launching the Bachar Houli Foundation, focusing on football and leadership programs for Islamic youth.

"I'm very happy to continue my football career at Richmond, and to launch the Foundation that will support Islamic youth to develop their leadership and cultural connection," Houli said.

"I'm really proud of the work we've achieved so far with all of our programs, and I'm incredibly excited to take our work to the next level with the establishment of the Foundation with the Richmond Football Club."

“Bachar is an outstanding person and player, and we love having him at our football club,” Richmond List Manager, Blair Hartley said.

“He’s having an exceptional season, and we’re looking forward to him continuing to have an impact next year both on and off the field.”

IMO Houli's game last night was right up there with his performance in the 2017 GF. Brilliant game and B.O.G. for mine.

Best game for Bashar this year as poor as he was last week was as great as he was this week.
