Pies and Dogs looking at Bachar Houli

[TradeDraft]

Caro on Footy Classfied has said these 2 teams are having a good look at getting Bacher Houli.

Anyone Else Heard This?

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

Wouldnt be suprised at all and im sure hes getting looked at by other clubs aswell. Hes a good player with a great kick and should be in our side but knights wont play him depsite him tearing it up at vfl. He would be stupid to stay at essendon because he just wont get a game despite deserving it.

But i would also like to point out that its caro and she said the other week that she was certain Boak would be a bomber.

You dont get a game with essendon unless your one of Knights favourites. Hes also a very good size. He gets played defence when he should be in the middle or half forward.

Yeah, I heard it to, I would LOVE him at Collingwood, been a massive fan of his since he started playing.

Such a silky mover.

I was seriously considering listing it as a 'pro', my bad

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

Bulldogs wouldn't need him. We've got enough players that can't crack the team. He wouldn't be more likely to get a game over someone like Moles and there's no chance he'd nudge one of our main mids out of the side.

He's solid enough but we just don't have a need for him.

He sounds like a good wingman rather than the defensive line where Essendon seems to play him (note: this is based off my impression rather than necessarily reality). I wouldn't mind the Lions having a look at him because of his disposal by foot and running. I seem to remember him having a fair turn of speed... is that right?

Handy depth player, better than Cook, Barhan and Corrie who we have at the moment.

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

Eade does love players who can kick. Sounds like a bit of a running outside link player.

 

[Invigoration]

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

He is seriously average and his disposal is getting ridiculously overblown in here. He continually turns the ball over by hand and foot, always seems to make the wrong decisions and put his team mates under the pump.

Plus he is an absolute pea heart, looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

No defensive workrate.

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

Played a few years of footy against him just a freak dominated the WRFL

His family im preety sure all barrack for Collingwood

A con of his would have to be injuries seems to be injured alot even in his last season or 2 in the WRFL before being drafted he was always injured

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

Houli has extraordinary hearing, can hear footsteps a mile off.

Panics way too much to be a good league footballer IMO.

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

So if he did get Traded it would be very cheap

Unless he can get a game and start playing some decent footy yes then yes he will come cheap.

Someone has to replace harbrow

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

If he cant get a game in your baclines, hes hardly going to get one in ours, unless we loose about 5 defenders

But hes not a backman he should be in the midfield or along half forward.

That's even worse, your midfield is the worst in the league, and by a long way. If Houli can't break into that group of plodders then he is seriously rubbish.

Only way we want him at the Pies is if he wants to help the VFL team win some games.

As i have said before you dont get a game at essendon unless your one of knights favourites or your blackmailing him.

Re: Pies and Dogs looking at Bacher Houli

Yeah I guess that's why Essendon has played the largest amount of different players this year.

Do you really think Knights is going to be playing favourites when his arse is on the line? If Houli was good enough, he'd be playing.

Think you might need to pull your head out of the sand Nick, there is no conspiracy theory behind Houli playing twos, he is just shit.

Then explain why people like lovett-murry, Henry Slattery, Andrew Welsh and Ricky Dyson get games all the time when they are hopeless?

95% of your list is shit. Playing shit players ahead of other shit players isn't playing favourites, it's just shuffling the deck chairs.
