Bachar Houli - بشار حولي,

This discussion is reaching Zapruder film levels.

I think there must have been a second kicker.

no 2nd kicker. Houli took an intercept mark (from McGrath). Went to pass to Ellis, ball went out on the full.

Apologies will be accepted.

kicking it out on the full to Brando isn't as bad as kicking it out on the full to say dusty or Danny.

Proof that Bachar even thinks through his errors

Yes Bachar does stuff up occasionally but what he is bringing this year makes up for it and then some.

At some stage he will attract a tag to nullify his out put but this will only free up another player.
I must admit I’ve been somewhat ambivalent towards Bachar,but love his run and break the lines attitude,so I’m a convert and prepared to accept his occasional screw up.

In retrospect,he was a good get from the Bummers,Footy wise & a solid citizen who has helped make Richmond’s culture what it is today.

I hope the Club let’s Bachar call time on his career.
 
In 5 years time I can see both Benny & Bachar running the AFL. Dan Jackson as our new CEO

That’s great Spook,31 super fit,clean living,should have another couple of years.

I remember when he was recruited their was 80 odd of his Extended Family and Friends became members of theRichmond FC,and are now an integral part of the Tiger Army.

It’s not surprising with our track record for Inclusiveness that we are the biggest Sporting Club in Australia.

This thread should be retitled " The magic loogie"

Was he standing in the goal square when he kicked it? Or in the points area? Was it a shot on goal from McGrath?

My apologies if you are correct of course.

pretty sure the out on the full was after one of his game high 12 intercepts, not from a kick-in.
I wonder if the out on the full counted toward his round high turnovers?

you would think so.
I imagine the coaches also considered when giving their votes, but decided his good well and truly outweighed his errors.
 
As a critic, just want to put it out there that I thought he was better against Norf than last week. More contested ball, more intercepts, more score involvements and less turnovers. Not bad when we are getting thumped as a team.

Brilliant both weeks. Had a lot more intercepts last week and more rebound 50s and a lot more kicks and 1 more efficient disposal. Arguably a bit cleaner this week but that usually happens when you handball a lot more. Is in amazing form atm.
 
Can you point out a memorable Bachar moment last night because it seemed like he was accumulating stats as loose man not influencing the match.

His poor kicking in the first quarter indirectly cost us two goals.

Agree. Much better last week, still played well tonight but last week much more positive influence on the match.
 
I wonder how many of his metres gained come straight back the other way?

Thought he was ordinary particularly early.

The hit he copped in the first qtr shock him up but overall he was useless.
Didnt give us any run out the back. It was all short kicks and stop start all night
