Oleg Markov (Leggie)

[The Black and White Lion]

Alright I’m going again. Surely this must be the first Oleg to play for the magpies.

Best wishes for Charlie Dean, hope this is the last of his injury woes and comes good to get some game time for the pies. With our list now and injuries, Will Kelly becomes a little bit more important. I hope he earns an injury free turn too

Nonplussed: I feel like I have just won two tickets from the Triple M Black Thunders at Werribee Plaza to see Nickelback. As Lionel Richie once sung: "once..... twice..... three times..... unlikely"!

Welcome to the club, Oleg.

Hope he makes the most of this opportunity.

Beautiful song, but not relevant for Oleg!!

Here is the relevant comparison for Oleg:

so the question is who is moving to the inactive list?

Captain Obvious says Krueger.

Try Charlie Dean Captain!!

Not so long ago I suggested that Markov might be worth a look at and was roundly mocked and ridiculed by the usual suspects on this forum. Seems someone with actual footballer knowledge at Collingwood was on board. I wish him well.

Initially I thought that Oleg was related to John Mrakov who played for Collingwood in 1987. However I realised that the spelling of the surname is different.

Yeah that can happen! I remember being roundly mocked when I suggested that Ben Kinnear, Danny Roach, Athas H, James Walsey, Aaron James, Luke Shackleton, Greg Whitcroft, Ben Morrison and Jamie Barham (plus many more) were all going to be Collingwood champions and legends

Good (O)leg speed, questionable ball usage seems to be the rational consensus on him. Detractors say he’s just an athlete (lacking footy skills)

With Dean going onto the LTI, and having had a good look at him already, why not

Pinching him from under Carlton’s nose is just the icing on top

Patrick Cripps, on the day Collingwood signed him up as he was training with Carlton, said” He’s a very good player and will fit straight into the team on a HBF in place of the injured Williams”. I wonder what he thinks now??

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Wish Oleg well at Collingwood.
Do we think he can also play as forward.
I think Dean set back was untimely for him as if he did not get another foot injury could have stayed on the list.
Oleg looks good nice tall type.
Did he kcik many goals for suns and tigers.
Think he played in 19 and 20 tigers flags as well.
Got a nice mark to him and good direct kick.
Good pick up.

No the guy never made 2019 nor 2020 premiership sides

[Rd10.1998_11.1#36]

Has never played a final at all

5 goals in 51 games would suggest that as a forward, he makes a great defender
