Bachar Houli - بشار حولي,

Dont think we can keep playing this bloke in the back line ..... goes to ground a lot and seems to make bad mistakes under pressure. Maybe Hardwick needs to shuffle some of these guys to a diff posi. Seems some of our blokes are pidgeon holed. Have a look at Taylor at Geelong. Plays fwd after being a back man for so long and is having a ball.
 
Liability and play scared. He is the weakest player I have seen in a RFC jumper. Spends so much time floundering on the actual turf its a joke.
 
Careful ........................ ive been assassinated since day one for pointing out some flaws and facets of his game, that i havent seen any real change in despite his year last year.

Cant comment on today didnt see the game.
 
One thing that stood out to me last year was that in the wet games he handled the ball like it was dry. Seems to not have that touch this season.

He was as you've described him before.
 
I thought he was ok today. Kept hitting up. Morris is the bloke who was flogged. (Sure copped a knock. But was flogged.)
 
now we can see why essendon didnt play him much and theyre supporters dont rate him!
 
I had him down as one of the worst yesterday.. Made some very stupid decisions given the circumstances..

Personally I'm not sure the backline is his go..

I'd like to see him further up the ground for most of the game.. I don't think he'll be missed down back but that left boot and his quick hands could be of more value in the middle?

Looks the perfect wingman to me. Great by hand and foot, loves to carry the ball. Also, his weaknesses one on one would be dramatically reduced out there.
 
His legs are like dominos. Just the mere perception of outside pressure and his legs drop to the ground.

Essendon supporters had a few nicknames for him, especially when the pressure was on, a couple that come to mind are 'Bachar the Butcher' and 'Hospital Hand-pass Houli'. Nothing that is being said in this forum now have not been said innumerable times previously by Bomber fans. Still at least he didn't cost us as much as Jordon McMahon.
