[Yeahright]

How is it possible that Grimes has 14 disposals and only gains 3 metres??????

Keep in mind I haven't watched the game yet...

Does handballing backwards equate to 0 or negative metres gained? If so that'd be my guess. Usually gives it off to a player running past

LOL the weirdo defies all logic

[Stalin]

Grimes is a good player

Wake up

[Owl]

nobody said he wasn't, we are laughing about the stats go back to sleep, it was all a dream

[Stalin]

He's often given a suicide handball with three running at him, so he goes back

Good at playing within his limits too

[big tone]

OMG!  672m gained! 

Over 250m more than his next teammate.

I've been saying it since day one that Ellis is just a waste of time. He gained 8metres each time he touched the footy.
Scared little behindhole!!
I hate him!!

I knew you would catch onto that big tone! You didn't let me down!

I'm preaching to the converted with you now though, aren't I?
Send that little prick off to St.Kilda and let us play one up in stead of one down when we play them next year.

Markov 'gifted' games in 2016

The Age
25 January 2017

Second-year Richmond defender Oleg Markov concedes he was "gifted" games in 2016 and says he is no lock to make the Tigers' side for round one.

With Richmond effectively out of finals contention by July, Markov became a regular in the second-half of last season, playing eight consecutive games from his debut in round 16, and was praised for his poise.

But 2017 presents a new set of challenges for the South Australian, who believes that he while he has been improving over the pre-season, he is not assuming he will be in Richmond's best 22.

"I feel I was quite gifted with a few games last year due to injury," Markov said in Maroochydore, where the Tigers are this week conducting a pre-season camp.

"It's no excuse to drop off now. I've still got to establish a spot, I'm still no certainty and the way the boys are training now, anyone could play round one."

And to think this guy was being voted for as favourite player of the year on this site. Thankfully common sense prevailed with teh result

[Andyy]

Definitely a place for him in the team. Wouldn't bother with Hunt, Houli, Grigg, Batchelor etc when this guy could have a crack.

And will no more Lids and Yarran being delisted we will need some pace around the ground.

What?

Humility? I think that's a greta trait in a youngster. Oleg waited a while for these "gifted" games. The way the side was performing he should have been selected earlier. His first game was a beauty and justified his selection. Probably better than any age Batch has ever played for us. From memory close to 100% disposal efficiency!
