Yep he was kicking those 9-irons again. I had him with one foot in retirement but he forged through it and was everywhere in the second half. Some life in the old bloke yet.

Agreed. In the second half, he seemed to arrive at each contest with momentum. Momentum is about timing and energy and urgency. It's not all about foot speed, especially when the ball is in dispute; it's about arriving at the contest with the presence and the tools to carry you forward and affect the outcome, often via a split-second decision and action. Many of our guys took on the attitude of the hunter in the second half, and Bachar was one of them.
Bachar seems to take a few games to warm up. The signs are good he is hitting better form and was good tonight although he can be better.
Just hope he keeps the upward momentum and gets to his best soon.
Is still a worry in terms of age and soft tissue injuries but glad he is playing this year. Not cooked yet by a long shot but clearly nearing the end of a magnificent career.
Absolutely hilarious, he was doubled over laughing from what I could see. Love it, we need more of that attitude.

Loyal as they come , Only ever been with his wife and nothing before or during. 100% true
Watched him closely in the first half, was super critical of him as had a number of opportunities to make contact but didnt.
Maybe his aging body during a long ramadan....
But wow, after half time even though at stages he couldnt run, he gave everything.
And he like all the players after half time, just smiles all around.

Bachar's form always seems to skyrocket during Ramadan, it's like the hungrier he gets the hungrier he gets
The older you get it is so much harder to come back from injury as Bachar has shown. After a quiet few games and a slow start on Friday things started working again and he was back to his influential best
I reckon he wasn’t too happy with his first half and he came out and went hard at the ball. When Bachar does that he pmakes a difference to our team. I must admit I had written him off as cooked up to that point of the season and he surprised me with that second half.
Bachar's 200th game for the Tiges today.
Thought he was cooked after that last calf injury in the GF but here he is.
What a bloody champ.

He will eventually and fully deserves to go down as one of the greats.
Brilliant effort by the ferocious beard. So pleased he left Essendrugs n became such a good player and an even better community player for the Tigers.
Hope he gets the chance to play on next year and gets to the official 250 game milestone. More importantly that he retains a strong connection through the club once he does retire.

Yep apparently the bigger the game the more he go’s missing , so the Bombers fans led us to believe
