Bachar Houli - بشار حولي,
- Thread starter Baloo
- Start date
A lot of his possessions were cheap in order to keep possession so not one of his standout games for mine, but certainly played his part.
Is it me or does this bloke look fitter the older he gets? The one big thing that sticks out for me is his desire to impact the contest. Was his biggest weakness.
Jack Dyer contender maybe.
Also, surely he could make the AA squad.
His form has matured perfectly in his old age

I don't take too much notice of the AFL player ratings but yesterday they had Houli as the seventh-worst player on the ground, just ahead of Bolton but behind Castagna. Crazy stuff.
On the other hand, they had Balta as best-on-ground.

Which on-field acts contribute to a player's score?
Every time a player is involved in a passage of play he has the chance to accrue points. But rather than his score being a simple tally of his possessions, marks, tackles, hit-outs, free-kicks and scores, his performance is measured using a system called Equity Ratings. The system determines where and how a player influences a contest and whether the player's effort then results in a positive result for his team. Equity Ratings includes what coaches love to describe as "pressure acts". As a result, players are rewarded for interrupting opposition passages of play as well as setting up scores for their own team.
Players who consistently produce positive contributions are rewarded more highly than players with a high volume of stats. As an example, a 20-disposal game by Cyril Rioli, where 17 disposals are positive and only one is negative, can have the same impact as a 40-disposal game by Dane Swan, where 25 are positive and nine are negative.
Can players lose points during games?
Yes. Players can receive a negative score in a number of ways, including when they give away free kicks and also when they turn the ball over. A turnover that results in an opposition score results in the largest negative score.
How is the player ratings system different to the scoring system used in AFL Fantasy and the Champion Data player ratings?
Whereas AFL Fantasy scores simply takes into account how many times a player receives and disposes of the ball, how many scores he registers and whether he wins or gives away free kicks, Official AFL Player Ratings consider a whole range of other factors. These include where the player was on the field when he received the ball, whether the player was under pressure and whether his disposal advantaged his team or led to a score.
These ratings appear to be a more accurate assessment than purely supercoach ratings. I think the last 2 weeks Houli has been nearer the bottom of the AFL player ratings yet many on PRE had him best 3.
Bachar is just being Bachar, but he has probably taken it to another level of late. Been a really good player for us over the journey.

Thanks, MD.
I didn't think he was in the top five on the weekend but I sure as hell didn't think he was in the bottom seven.

Lol yes. We know what we are getting with him every week. But of late he has even been better at it if that makes sense
