Player Watch #14: Bachar Houli - Retiring at the end of 2021

[smasha]

Gun backman for our club,great to see him re sign.

Congrats Bachar.

Never forget the goal he kicked in the 2017 granny,one of the loudest roars of the match and set us up for the win.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Good barometer for the Team's success when Houli is up and about and full of running spearing long kicks to the key forwards...

 

[GoTigers2015]

1 year, manifestly inadequate

 

[joelsyt]

Bachar is going around again!

In career best form too.

Well done!

Woohoo! Yay Bachar!

 

[TigermanM2]

Rapt. Often maligned early but now one of the most popular Tigers.

Last few years have been brilliant.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

What about Sheds!

 

[Underarm]

He'll bring up 200 Richmond games if he plays 20 next year.

Absolute Superstar.

 

[JackNah_8]

So glad he re signed for another year

 

[Dr Tigris]

I have such a problem choosing my current favourite player. But Bachar has got to be equal favourite. Great footballer. But more importantly such an awesome person. He's worth gold and jewels to the world, as well as the RFC

 

[RunningBounce]

Career best season at 31 AND the AFL's best beard. Bloody awesome. Long may it last!

[TigermanM2]

What about Sheds!

Coaching Adelaide.

 

[Sir_Loin]

pretty stiff to only get 1 year when he's come off an AA year and will probably poll in the top 5 for the b&f

Bachar is fine with 1 year deals and most likely could be his last , I would be surprised if he is playing in 2021 but if he is the that will most certainly be his last

I'm sure he is if the alternative is retire or play somewhere else. Sounds like the clubs going to be doing more with his charity so perhaps thats the trade off

Bachar wont play somewhere els and will retire a day early than a day late, He is heavily involved with the community and has bigger fish to fry in the future
would not surprise me to see him enter politic's when he is finished up and has been approached in the past.

Best mates with Malcolm Turnbull. Almost got him off at the Tribunal

 

[CholEstrol]

a match winner that has gotten away without a tag for quite a while now. If Collingwood/GWS don't take him seriously in the Granny then they do so at their peril.

 

[clark1980]

best game I have seen houli play. the usual damaging possessions but a lot of hard his ball gets were exceptional.

 

[THE_GUN]

Great game from Bachar tonight , He really stood up and helped carry us into another GF

Fantastic club man

 

[Meteoric Rise]

The Houligan was on fire, even gave Cryin Miers a nice little drive by.

 

[The Dice Man]

Will finish up a Richmond Great and a Finals specialist. He shines in September.
