Bachar Houli [merged]

[Mr Magic]

Another who's escaped bait of scrutiny in the loss. Along with Brandon I have not been impressed with how he's started the year. Needs to lift in a real hurry. Don't think he cuts it away from half back.

are you just working that out magic.cannot effectively play in the midfield and sides are beginning to take him deep and make him accountable in defense.
hes great when we can play the game entirely on our terms but a total liability when we cant.

Credit where it's due. Think he has improved the defensive side of his game markedly in recent times and would hope you'd agree but he was sloppy against the Suns.
It all got too hard..

I cant believe how bad Houli is playing. Second guessing, cant hit a target with a handball, terrible kicking

Yeah, he does stand out against the rest of the team doesn't he.

[The Machine]

Yes he has many friends I know

[Phil Mrakov]

Had the game on his foot and lost it

Fair call. Have question marks over his ability to take it to the next level but far from our worst yesterday.

[Coach]

Saw him put in a good effort in the last (I think). Liam Jones took a brilliant mark but good to see Bachar make him earn it. Couple of really poo handballs yesty but not our worst.

[tony_montana]

one of our best

again 

[Judge Roughneck]

If they are going to play him every week move him out of tha back line

[The Machine]

Houli was one of our worst yesterday, played like a pretender...not good enough. Needs to lift big time and set the standard of what is required to play for the jumper not running around giving half efforts 

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Well said.
Houli is a winger to half forward. He isn't naturally defensive.

[The Machine]

How did he miss Griffiths with 2 minutes left when he was under no pressure and big Griffiths made great space 40 metres out? Players like Houli crack under any form of pressure. Time for a run in the reserves.

[Phil Mrakov]

If he nailed that kick we win. Mentally weak
