Solid. Will be haunted by that dropped mark I'm sure.

Great rundown tackle and htb though.

Happy to give him more time for now.

saw nothing to fill me with excitement. That may change but 11 possys and a few tackles is nothing to rave home about

It was game you'd be impressed by if it was one of his first half-dozen games in his first or second year...in his eighteenth game in his fourth year...not so much.... :shh

yep. I get he hasnt had a good run at it but in the VFL if he was that good he would have been tearing the house down in the last 2/3 years which he hasnt

Maybe il be wrong about him, but im not convinced at this stage.

Just remember it’s been a pretty hard side to get into the last 3 years....
And he has had some injuries that haven’t helped.

He is one of those players that is pretty good at every but no real weapon at AFL level.

Short- good rebounder and a magnificent foot
Baker- great reader of the game, hard at it and decent skills
Houli- hard runner, and decent foot, and Dimma’s favourite.

George- great tackler and pressure player, awesome overhead for his size, and electric speed
Higgins- smart, and a good reader of the play. (Nothing super about him either but gets time because he was an early draft pick)
Rioli- great tackler and pressure player- horribly out of form

And I just don’t think Markov is a winger to be able to take one of those spots...

Lucky for him we need about 30 players this year, so you just never know- he might be in the right place at the right time??

Not even the fact that he is the fastest player in the AFL?

I want to see more of Markov. I think he might make it given some confidence.

I guess there’s no better opportunity then the present.

Again, a solid game from Markov. Used his pace exceptionally well tonight and made the right decisions with ball in hand. Making it hard for match committee to drop him with these performances. Hope he plays out the year and is resigned.
I'll continue to back him in and will be interested with what others have to say about his game.

Impressive again. With Houli back this week he would be the obvious one to come out. Looks well suited to play wing, quick, accurate kick, long kick, big body, can take a strong mark and can run all day. I hope he plays there next week.

Though he was in top 5 tonight. Very impressive

Didn't  think he should have been dropped in the first place

ive seen nothing to suggest he should play, BUT when others are worse i guess he stays.

few long kicks  big deal. Not enough IMO

Keeps DES out that's for sure.

Good vision out there. A few times avoided the big bombs which clearly weren't working and managed to find a shorter/better target.
