Get around Bachar

[smasha]

He farked up but he knows it and apologised to the fans and his team mates but there were worse things than he did.
7 posters and so many missed shots at goal.
Houli's missed kick wouldn't even be under consideration if we took our chances.
Houli has been a class act since joining Tigerland.
Get around him for this weeks game.

Carn the Tiges!

Well said, smasha, has been a fine player since arriving and any questioning his courage and commitment need...best not say!

 

[Spagman]

Agreed, and when you see why he thought he was kicking it into an empty paddock, the criticisms have been pretty harsh.

Still should have kicked it to a contested area though and played percentages but oh well.

 

[jreesosb]

He is a huge asset to the club

 

[JackNah_8]

The criticism has been harsh but if only Richmond kicked straight we still would've won.

Cotchin and Martin missed some easy goals.

That they did. Everyone has off days, but Cotchin in particular, his set shots have been shitful all season.

Good thread.

Bachar does the majority of our kick-ins, and he rarely stuffs up. You don't notice until he does. He was really hurting... and they're the kind of blokes I want on the team. Peeps taking potshots at his effort? Piss off. The bloke fasts during daylight, for a month every year for his religion... his commitment to the cause can never be doubted.

 

[JR82]

big cheers for him this week, is a genuine good bloke & would be hurting after what happened even tho they shouldn't have been in the game late. hope he kicks the sealer this week!

Am a big fan of Bachar and do not believe he should bear the brunt of the Freo game.
However, am a bit concerned with his saying he will be doing the kick-ins and taking the first kick-in against the Hawks on Friday. Yes, you have to get back on the horse and all that, but IMO he's putting unnecessary pressure on himself. I don't doubt his courage and commitment but reckon the Hawks will really target him.

 

[TigermanM2]

Calling for his dumping has been ridiculous.

What if we keep the Hawks pointless?

The way they've been kicking for goal of late, it may be a possibility.

Big mistake at a crucial time will always be magnified . I actually think Lambert not making body contact is as big a issue as houli's kick . In saying that houli's whole game against Freo was one of his worst since joining RFC .

One mistake does not define a man.

This year it was mid-June to mid-July. It falls about 10 days back on the calendar each year (Islam uses a lunar calendar, and the start corresponds with a new moon).

Id say most of his career, needs to play on, dusty is the same, never confident when they take a set shot, griffo is the same, better from further out

Just because you've got a long beard, it doesn't make you Robinson Crusoe. Bachar had lotsa company.

Offensive Kicking to blame, we just can burn teams off

Cotchins miss (again at a crucial point) was horrendous and as damaging as any error we made, as a captain it just isnt good enough

Hodge/Selwood/Judd kick those goals - Cotchin doesn't its a real blemish on his game

 

[djspank]

Should have been Cotchin apologising for missing an easier kick.

 

[Livonski]

Will be in the All Australian squad.
May not make the final team, but his form all year has been fantastic.

 

[Neen]

He took responsibility for the mistake. I'm sure that behind closed doors, Cotchin, Lids, Martin, Jack, Griffiths and Lloyd would have also took responsibility for their actions equally. The Auskickers at half time were more accurate from 35 meters out.

Singling out one action amongst the many mistakes is only painting part of the overall picture.

I'm more pissed that the Kruizer "not a mark" was highlighted for days on all media channels, yet Pavlich's Shepard / holding / high contact / chopping of Rance's arms was paid TO him, not against him. Was easily the worst free of the year. I guess it didn't happen in the last 60 seconds - so it is ok.

 

[DeseRigs]

Good teams go for the big play, Houli did and it didn't pay off. I don't begrudge him one bit. We'd be all lauding and singing his praises had he hit Lambert on the chest alas it was not meant to be.

I find the calls for his dropping quite amusing. If those who want that had their way, enjoy a game this Friday where the entire game is played in our defensive 50m such is our lack of drive from our 50 without Houli launching the attack.

Finished on the weekend of the Saints game, though some people often have to do extended fasting for various reasons.
