Player Watch #31: Oleg Markov

[Grockadoc]

Good call. IIRC Chris25 was pretty big on him in 2014 as well, thought he was better than Menadue.

I wanted us to take him in 2014 as well. Thought he was exactly what we needed. I was also huge on Drummond the year before he was drafted as well.

 

[Mr Magic]

He went into the draft as a tall forward prospect but I think he can offer so much more. Great signs. Can be a real weapon across half back which may release the Yarran/Lids types to cause havoc forward.

I see him more as a backman atm

 

[Juke]

Glad he's getting games at senior level. The Markov Chain - He's fantastic, he's bombastic, he's stochastic.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

I like him off half back.
Has great pace and athleticism this kid.
Knows how to use the footy well too, judging by his first 2 games at least.
Has a nice leg on him.
Leave him in and just let him play whether it be good or bad, for the rest of the season.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Just putting it out there, this kid is gonna be a gun IMO

The instinct hes showed so far is awesome, and that was shown in his sprint off half back to get himself open for his first goal on Saturday. Really great to see.

Hopefully Dimma can coach that out of him.

 

[Calcium Man]

This kid can play, kicking, pace and a hard at it.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Yep.
Gun.

Good.

 

[Tiger71]

Love him

 

[DontArgue4]

Hes nek level

Gun of the future

 

[THECHIEFTON]

When he gets a bit more size....look out!

 

[I Rock]

Potential Rising Star nomination on the back of that game.

 

[TigerImposter]

Brilliant game.

 

[thefendoff]

Has some serious core strength for a first year. Can see him breaking a lot of tackles in the future

 

[Calcium Man]

Potential Rising Star nomination on the back of that game.

Has to... He, Short and Menadue all should have one this season. But no doubt a dog or saint will get 15 touches and win it.

 

[tigs2010]

Jesus

 

[Rumballs]

Did Richo just say a 600m gain game? Love him already. First instinct is to go forward. Same reason I like Short.

 

[Groupie_]

Hes nek level

Gun of the future

26 touches and a million metres gained

this bloke is a jet

 

[RichoLedio]

If he doesn't get rising star nom this week a certain West Coast poster will eat shit

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Haven't seen much of him and I just assumed he was just another overhyped pick 50 something that probably wouldn't make it. But **** me he was quality tonight. Very attacking and a beautiful long kick. Needs to weed out those HTB brain farts but I rate him. Looks like we might've got a late one right.

 

[Godspeed]

Will be the best player of all time.

 

[partycorolla]

Could replace Lids role in across half back from a few years ago.... With him, Yarran, Houli, Short and Castagna coming out of there, we have half back depth and dash. With Morris, Hunt to add depth (but be replaced quickly) .

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

With the olympics on atm, he'd be on the podium tonight

 

[Calcium Man]

Will be the best player of all time.

Nothing quite like tempering expectations

 

[69vintage]

Can he win the Brownlow ?
