[bananatigz]

Was keen on him last year so pretty happy with this one!!

Welcome Oleg!

 

[Bojangles17]

Welcome to Tigerland Oleg , you have an elite set of skills, find the footy, bury the opposition and kick it through the middle

Thunderlips

Cmon that was rocky 3 not 4!!

 

[TJTIGER]

He can stick it up em with that pole-vault...

 

[Neen]

Welcome to Tigerland. Just watched his highlights and he appears to be in the Jack Gunston mould.

 

[I Rock]

Cmon that was rocky 3 not 4!!

I am ashamed and have brought great dishonor to the board tonight.

 

[Football Tragic]

Looks like we are really looking for forwards and players with speed and endurance by who we have chosen this draft. Dimma must have predicted that that is the way he feels the game is evolving with the reduced interchanges and no sub. I'm guessing ultility/multi-positional players are now crucial and Oleg could easily play forward or midfield going forward.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

ivan and oleg must break you

 

[Calcium Man]

Was Hibberd available at that pick?

I meant Hartley... Keep calling him Hibberd for some reason

It's ok, a hard session with mick will sort you out

 

[Richo Man]

Mo-leg.

 

[Richo Man]

Hahaha. That's a bloody ripper. Hope he gets the chance to do this at AFL level.

 

[leekok]

means nothing..
also wont earn my respect till he performs

Agreed but at least has the athletic background

Hardddddd markers.

 

[RobsJourney]

Dare I say the logical forward line replacement for Deledio in 2 to 4 years time?

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Like very much... still raw...but has footy smarts and is a good kick....

 

[Wacky Tiger]

We drafted okeydoke7

 

[GPetro13]

Don't say 2, I'll fall apart if that's the case

 

[petro12]

2 minutes 30 second mark of his highlight vid on the website - legend!

Did a quick 180 seeing that after the disappointment of his name read out

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Welcome Oleg, took a couple of ripper marks in his highlights, might take a bit of time as pretty skinny!

 

[Mr Magic]

Dare I say the logical forward line replacement for Deledio in 2 to 4 years time?

Nah Lids will still be here, and he go to the wing.

Lids has more smarts than Oleg atm but Lids might be able to coach him a bit.


I would keep it simple for Oleg, sprint , mark, goal, for starters. He has good enduro so forward role suit while he is still light. Lids can help with his weight to

 

[Lsta062]

Yarran, Rioli, Markov makes us quickest club in the league

+ Broad too. Quick player himself

I reckon you're right on that. Also makes sense why McDonuts was dropped too

 

[TiggerDK]

Good height, speed, skills agility. Looks versatile, could develop into many roles.

 

[Infamy]

Don't mind this pick, agree with the comment about him replacing Lids long term
