Bachar Houli - بشار حولي,

[French Tiger]

Good news.Not everyone can be a Cotchin or Deledio.Plays his role well

 

[ihateRICHOhaters]

he needs to wear blinkers like the race horses wear

 

[GEDS1]

Needs to rack off he is useless and fumbles at crucial times and it costs us. Very weak and scared player

 

[waiting]

Dropped or moved to the wing. Not a backman.

 

[mld]

He was a one touch player last year, he is a ten touch player now. Not sure why he has developed the fumbles.

 

[Tigers2011]

Soft - why Essendon didn't rate him.

 

[jamo]

Agree Houli needs to stay on the wing delivering the ball inside 50, he is a scared player, it is easy to see, needs to be running away from a contest, not straight at it to be effective.
he has struggled this year IMO, still need him in the team, but need him doing more.

 

[mld]

Aside from the irony of people using the internet to call someone soft, I'm more interested in why he isn't the player he was last season.

 

[Jason King]

He is a meek footballer. I can tolerate blokes not wanting to partake in the hard stuff, as long as they dont crumble under pressure. Houli knows the pressure is coming and he freezes, panics and just gives up.

Ease up on Bach, it's multicultural week.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Was a bit fumbly and a bit of a wuss today. I hope this will be stamped out of his game sooner than later.

 

[Streak]

I actually thought he had a pretty good start to the season, but I thought he was exposed against the Dockers, and today wasn't his best.

 

[DragaTheCro]

That turnover in the middle where he kicked over Tuck's head which resulted in an Adelaide goal wasn't his best moment.

Agree. Needs space to be effective, and it's not being given.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Only player not to lay a tackle today.

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

Yep opposition putting more work into him by the looks of it.

 

[craig]

Hasnt changed as a player one iota imo

Agree Houli needs to stay on the wing delivering the ball inside 50, he is a scared player, it is easy to see,

so youve seen the game now?

BCL described Houli well a couple of pages ago. He goes when its his turn, he is just not very good overhead, or in one-on-ones.

for a bloke who is supposedly scared he takes a few marks backing back into packs, or running with the flight of the ball.

Not always Brodders Bachars cost plenty of goals these two seasons down back not hitting contests hard enough especially ground level ones where he hasnt put his body inot the line of his opponent over the footy or not impacted a contest hard enough, he is very prone to go to ground and is a shocker at sticking one paw in or out instead of getting behind, over or hitting the footy.

He is not a defenders asscrack, he is as you yourself describe him, poor in one on ones and no good overhead

Put him on the wing ive said it all along there he can be utilised with his kicking into the forward 50 and aerobic ability, he is a liability down back.
