Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
Buddy tried to do it last week, but managed to just miss Menadue's head so nothing happened. That was a dog act, not what Houli did in an effort to get an opponent to let go of his bloody jumper, so he could receive the ball. If the umpire had done his job and called Lamb for holding then we'd all have something else to whinge about.yandb said:

Nah it was a 2 week suspension. The air sirens and squealers have to remain relevant somehow. They got their way. Cop it on the chin and move on. respect for houli has increased in terms of sending a clear message that we mean business on field and the way he handled the squealers.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
This I agree with.
A close relative worked in the sports department of a great metropolitan Melbourne newspaper for a while. The sports editor made sure that this person understood the three (and there were only three) sports stories that had any impact on circulation. These were negative stories about Richmond and Collingwood and positive stories about Essendon. If they razz on the Tigers or the Magpies, everybody wants to read about it. Conversely, a negative headline about Essendon will turn Essendon fans right off and they are very likely to walk away from the newsagents in tears. Or close down their web browser in disgust.
Keep this in mind when you look at their headlines, you will see it almost every day.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
Boy oh boy, wowee! Tom Bugg just drops a Sydney player off the ball with a left to the head. BT says that's worse than Houli's.
Over to you, AFL.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
This will be interesting. Clearly intentional, clearly high. watch them argue impact to avoid a 4 week suspensionLeeToRainesToRoach said:

The tribunal will hang him, they'll want to be seen as though they've always been tough and hard on these types of acts and that he gets the same treatment as Houli.
Bugg is so stupid, he's picked the worst week to hit someone in the head.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
Insufficient force to constitute a strike. $1500 fine, that the afl will lend them to give back to the afl.
The MRP will apologise, the afl will deem that as manifestly inadequate, so the MRP will apologise with a glycerine tear.
They'll then all walk hand holding hands.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
Bugg just highlighted why the AFL should not have appealed for the first time in their history.
The very next day their system is given a test it cannot pass.
Whatever Bugg is handed will be subject to being manifestly wrong one way or another.
Fools.

Re: Bachar "The Nice Guy" Houli
No matter what, he's going to stack up badly alongside Houli.
Houli was trying to break a tackle, it was clearly out of character and he issued a genuine apology.
What's Bugg going to do? Threw a punch off the ball and it wasn't out of character. Any apology is going to sound hollow.
