Go look at the Instagram snap of him kicking a goal and then standing next to the goal umpire signalling a goal at the same time... :lol

 :clapping
Then he grabbed two chopsticks and stuck them in his mouth , pretending to be a walrus

In the HUN whispers today, Oleg Markov has stunned Richmond officials, with one senior official declaring that Olegs first ever session to be the best he's ever seen from a draftee.

Maybe he's talking about a drinking session?

I do hope he makes it but that frame.....  :-\
He has already played against men and held his own. His size is a worry but i figure once he is in an afl environment he will beef up a bit.It may take a little while though im not sure he can play afl  next yr.
This kid is not just an athlete. He has footy smarts and is a footballer.His size was the only thing that stopped him getting drafted last year imo.
His pace and huge tank means he is ideally suited to playing on a wing. He will run both ways and hes not shy about contact. Last year he spent plenty of time in the midfield.This year he spent a lot of time as a fwd and showed he can play well there.

Deledio -  McIntosh - Yarran  - Drummond - Menadue - Markov -  Butler -  Rioli  People want pace and run well we now have plenty.


I said in another thread i rarely back in skinny kids but with both Menadue and Markov i am happy to see us take that risk.At the end of the day the ball is in their court theres only two ways it can go.
The pleasing thing about the players above is not just pace, they mainly  have good skills and  most have great endurance capabilities which with the new rule changes is going to be important.
Deledio, Mcintosh and Yarran  aside  maybe drummond as well, I dont envision any of them playing much senior footy next year or being regulars. Hopefully they all show enough to be given some games though.Who knows with a bit of luck a few jump out of the ground and demand a spot.

I think the fact he broke his collar bones had more to do with him not getting drafted last year

Yes because no footballer that's ever been successful played up and acted like an idiot in high school...

Wasn't Claw against Drummond because he was a year older than the rest of the draftees? Why is Markov different?

Look if hes quick enough can we turn him into a rangey mid ala Fyfe? Id prefer that to a semi tall forward but saying that if he has confidence in front of goal then thats a useful trait.

Was i,  Well thats one take on it.
I believe my comments were along the line he was an over ager because a certain poster Al er i mean  penny  could not work out his age.
My main gripe was his disposal. Also  that his stats/testing   had to be looked at carefully and may not be so impressive  because he was an over ager who was  big bodied and virtually  fully developed physically. 
If you wish to read that as me being against him go for it. Im used to your  butt hurt reactions  at any sort of critique  read, what you like into those  comments you do anyway.
I must be really stuffing with your head if you have to go back 12 months.  to try and score a point.
