| Quote: | The dashing backman played 206 games and a key role in three flags for the Tigers, finishing runner-up to Dustin Martin for the Norm Smith Medal in both the 2017 and 2019 triumphs.
Houli, who fought through an early calf injury to play an important role in the 2020 grand final win, had previously said he'd hoped to play on next year, but called time on Thursday. |
I understand that he would have been a less popular choice but I did think he was clearly best on ground in their 2017 flag.
It's interesting to note that he only played 26 games over 5 years at Essendon before he went to Richmond through the pre-season draft. |

Agree with you on 2017. I thought he was BOG as well.

Yep, expected his name to be called out too... interesting.
Congrats Bachar on a solid career; but one less pain in the arse to deal with now.

 A very fitting tribute, Piedsy.

Bacher gets a thread, but Astbury doesn't?  |

Played under McRae at Richmond. Could be a mentor to Dib if we end up drafting him.
But he is 33.
