He deserves to leave the game on his teammates' shoulders in a packed MCG.
Has been a star. It has been a bit sad to watch him this year though. Let’s remember how he nearly won two Norm Smith medals and helped win a third premiership, playing 90% of the game with a serious injury.
Thanks, Bachar.
Thanks, Bachar.
Yeh, you would hope he can get back on the MCG in front of the tigers faithful for a proper send off. Knighters wrote a very good piece incl Bachar on the GDT that summed him up well. Running second in 2 x NS's to the greatest finals player ever is no mean feat.
Rips calf in first quarter of GF. Coach asks him to play. Does it with a smile on his face.
Ultimate team man.

Thanks must go to Essendon for one of the greatest recruiting coups in AFL/VFL history.
Bachar..the ultimate Richmond Man. Will most certainly be missed.

And he was called soft for how many years? Hard as nails.
Very true - and to be fair (to the critics - and I've been harsh on him at times too) - that hardness just wasn't natural for him.
But he fought his way through that. And even though there were times where you could see that flicker of hesitancy - he would still tough it out for the tackle or the crunching he was about to cop or whatever it was. And of course the GF performance last year was incredibly brave.
I hope he does play on for the next year or two in the VFL so we can see him run around at Punt Road before heading over to the 'G for the main game.
I'll personally delete any ones post if I see them celebrating or rejoicing over what is likely to be an injury that finishes his career.
The most humble, giving Richmond man on our list. He deserves our admiration and thanks.
Bachar has been one of the greatest recruits ever. Integral part of getting the team up and going from 2013 onwards but also in each of the premierships.
clearly he has hit the wall this year but nobody can stop a ticking clock. If this is it for Bachar, I tip my hat to a great career and great service to the RFC.

Whatever he decides to do he will always be one of our true greats. A legend.
To this day I still reckon he was BOG in the 2017 GF.
If this is it, then well done on a great career. Legend!!!

He was electrifying, courageous and masterful.
