Reviewing those links of Oleg Markov and what a character he is lends me to ponder what it is to have these infectious personalities around the Club.
If you have too many training robots, you remove character and we seem to have found a good balance on that front.

Of recent times we've had Daisy, Heater and Swanny who perhaps have been the modern day standouts.
My early days of supporting the Club, Billy Picken and Rene Kink stood out, with commentators like our own Louie the Lip Richards adding nicknames to give them even more colour, like wrestlers.

So here's to Leggy and the characters of our game.

Going back a bit, pants Millane had to be on such a list, with Phil Carman and one from left field, Aaron James.

'COLLINGWOOD has locked away ... Oleg Markov to a one-year deal, having renegotiated his contract in recent weeks.
...

He signed a one-year deal with a trigger for a second season in August last year, but Collingwood has recently restructured Markov's existing deal to ensure he remains at the club in 2025.'

Gotta say, hope it was real cheap...

You'd presume so; I'm not convinced the salary cap is quite back on the black yet.
Anyhoo, like many other fringe [and senior] players on our list, he failed to maximise the 2023/2024 off season to improve his disposal standard.
And here we are.

Where does Oleg now sit in the grand plan. Was half the player this year compared to last. Does he carry any trade capital?

No, not now. He was thrown a lifeline to actually join the club in the first place and he did very well in making the most of the opportunity.
29yo in May next year, he's now only there for depth, given a 1yr contract after he bought Fly some flowers.

Don't underestimate the importance of having good depth in our squad.

Oleg has done well and really made the most of his career when plenty would have given up. To play 23 games in a premiership year after already being let go by 2 other clubs is a great achievement in itself. He went on to play just the 12 games this year, but his pace and team first attitude see him go on.

As RB said, do not underestimate the importance of having good depth, but also do not underestimate the importance of having a guy like this around the club. He is a great clubman and loved by all at the club.

He's played 86 AFL games. Making it to 100 will be a magnificent achievement.
