Not that Leggy will see this, but...

Thank you Leggy for all the joy. You became our family's favourite player. Your sincerity, happiness, kindness and humour shone through in every game, every interview and every social media post.

You did the club proud, particularly on Grand Final day. Your run and carry and your relentless enthusiastic encouragement of your teammates, in my opinion, were amongst the factors that got us over the line that day.

You'll always be a magpie and our beloved premiership hero. Every magpie that spends time in our backyard will be known as Leggy in your honour.

Go well, you absolute legend.

Loved Leggy on the Black-and-White show. Brought great energy and positivity to the club always ready to do whatever it takes, just a really selfless individual. Reckon leggy was one of fly’s great decisions heading into the 2023 season, along with our other more storied recruits such as Bobby. Always love you Leggy go well in life after AFL!
 
Premiership player, and a fan fave.

Surely the club can retain him in some capacity? Runner, content creation, whatever.

His infectious positivity would make the players around him feel great.

If he doesn't find a new club, I love the idea of signing him up solely as a VFL player.

I simply cannot put it better than this. Thanks Leggy. Legend forever.
 
Right decision.

Will always be a COLLINGWOOD Premiership player though and that's brilliant.

One of the nicest guys when it came to photos and autographs.
 
Really wish we could have found a way to keep him on the list

Love Leggy

Will miss him
Oleg deserves all the love he is getting, but we must continue to improve the list.
 
I may have this wrong, but I recall a story about the 23 GF, when Leggy was late to the pre-game team meeting. He was still in the rooms, stuffing around with his gear, and Fly had to call for him. Classic Oleg. Even on GF day, he was chilled and helping with the relaxed mood.

And never forget his near death brush with Carlton. We brought him back from the brink, resuscitated him. And he made fun of that too - wearing Carlton gear to the post-GF mad Monday.

What a character, I wish the people's moustache became a regular in our backline, but wasn't meant to be.

All the best Leggy, your smiles are contagious and your goal celebrations are epic.

I really hope Carlton don't come sniffing around.
