From today's Australian...

Houli is understood to be proceeding with his bid to join the Tigers despite the arrival at Windy Hill of new coach James Hird.

If a suitable trade with the Bombers cannot be arranged, Houli is a realistic chance of being secured by Richmond in the pre-season draft with no compensation to Essendon.

There you go I'd I've thought he'd want to be a bomba

Dons get tough on Bachar Houli (Herald-sun)

Dons get tough on Bachar Houli

Herald Sun
October 02, 2010


ESSENDON midfielder Bachar Houli could be forced into the draft as the club prepares to play hard ball in next week's trade negotiations.
Houli remains undecided about re-signing with the Bombers, and Richmond and Carlton are believed to be strongly interested in the promising playmaker.

But Essendon was determined to re-sign Houli, 22, and would "dig in its heels" if he requested a trade, a source said yesterday.

a poster on BF claiming that Houli did not attent the b&f. Also on the bummer board someone claimed that they didnt spot Houli in the footage of the fitness testing Hird put them through.

With the bummers wanting to play Hardball it is seemingly more likely that he will become a tiger via the PSD, which would probably make the houli deal the best value out of all the rumours so far.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

against Houli via the draft but via the PSD, you would take that any day of the week unless something better pops up

The Herald Sun also reported that Essendon was determined to hold onto midfielder Bachar Houli, 22, who has been linked with Richmond and Carlton, and would resist if he requested a trade, potentially forcing him into the NAB AFL Draft.

Houli via the PSD would be great. Will cost us nix. Only way I want him at the club.

Feel that Will, McGuane, Tambling and any others who we can trade for can get us some valuable picks in the draft.

Houli won't make it to the PSD. More likely he will be taken up by a club with their later picks in the ND!

He doesn't have to nominate for the National Draft if he doesn't want to

Oh well then tht changes things slightly. Would just have to hope he doesn't get taken by GC, WC and possibly GWS (if they have any picks) then which makes the chances much improved.  :thumbsup

We'll have either Pick 2 or 3 I think
It will either be

1. GC
2. WCE
3. RIC

or

1. WCE
2. RIC

Not sure if GC get any PSD picks as they have the right to just sign uncontracted players, they don't really need a PSD selection.
The one thing that may change that completely is if the AFL give GC the first x PSD picks based on them not signing their full compliment of uncontracted players

GWS will get the first 5 rookie picks, like GC17 did last year, no PSD picks as they aren't in the AFL next year
