Player Watch Oleg Markov (Delisted 2025)

[Bianconeri]

I call him, 'Deer in headlights'. I would prefer us try Jakob Ryan, in that position. Yes, he is athletic, but too often makes poor decisions, skill errors and holds up play from the backline.

Based off this pre season he’s still a fair way ahead of Ryan. If we’re aiming to win I’d expect Markov to be selected out of the two.

One thing about Oleg I'll always respect is despite not being a first picked a grader his attitude and demeanour is always impeccable, what a club man he's been.

Can we give this guy another year just for team unity. Minimum contract. He is loved.

The way the boys got around him after that goal

Celebration was in honour of baby Lenny's first steps

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Plays every game like it’s his last. And there’s every chance it will be! Great attitude, and a fantastic human to have at the club. Will be a sad day when he leaves.

And you just know the room will erupt with joyous applause the day he collects his lifetime membership.

Good energy, great game!

I think Leggy nailed it.. slide 3

 

[manicpie]

The ultimate club man, no other way to describe him

 

[lenny20]

I reckon one of the biggest mistakes Mick Malthouse made after 2002/03 was cutting heart and soul players like Rupert Betheras. The chemistry plummeted and it took us a few years to recover.

Leggy is this Collingwood side's vibe hire. He brings such an infectious joy to the entire team. A minimum wage plug-and-play mature body who sparks energy in his teammates both on and off the field is a pretty unique and valuable asset. Fortunately, Fly strikes me as the sort of guy who recognises this value, so I don't think he'll become the second incarnation of poor Rupe.

Also, to top it all off, he's a sneaky decent player at AFL level.

Long may he spark joy for us

 

[pablo disco bar]

His goalna celebration certainly brought a smile to my face

Possible best goal of his career ?

Watching the episode at the moment, Leggy nailing it atm, very funny and much more loose, compared to Caldwell and Rachele who are a bit vanilla

I guess Leggy has a bit more life experience & confidence too. And we all know he's a funny fella

 

[sideswipe]

Just bumping this thread to honor Leggy. Think he is up to two last minute call ups this season. At this stage he would know that every senior game is likely to be his last. A true journeyman in the most honorable sense of the word. Been in the system 10 years for a grand total of 89 games.
