Truly the end of an era now.

Thanks for everything Hoops, wishing you every success in life after footy and hope you still stay connected with the club. Looking forward to seeing your mug in the hallway next time I'm down at Visy

Well done Houla, you guided us through the dark days, and you were the only one that played in our last home final that was still on our list.

Goodluck with your next chapter

Congratulations to Houlihan on a fine career.

Only the second ever Carlton 200 game player without a premiership.

Let's hope the last.

Not wishing, but I wonder if Scotland will follow. All the best Hoops. Fantastic to watch on song and one of the best late ND picks ever.

There have been questions about his hardness from day one but no one could ever doubt his skills.

If you had forgotten how good he was (like me :oops:

) - just do a youtube search of him.

Thanks for everything Houla and all the best in whatever you choose to do.

Took over from Fraser Brown as my favorite player. Good career, glad he reached 200.

Thanks for being a class Carlton player Ryan...........and for playing out of position during the dark years without a lot of accolades.......... :thanks:
