The amazing thing about him, is he didn't get drafted in 2014, then he lasts till 50, has everything you want in a modern footballer, I'd have been happy with him with our first pick

I'd be happy with him at pick 6, even if dyson heppell went after.

we could end up building a cyber-statue of dyer'ere outside PRE for his call on this kids moustache.

I only saw the last 5 mins of the game but what I saw of Lego man was one of the most passionate young kids I've ever seen. He loves the club already. Will be a cult figure.

What I also saw (and I was only watching on my iPhone) was a bloke that to me looked like a very young Francis Bourke. Not sure what it was. Let's hope he's half as good!

he does have a touch of the st.francises about him. wow.
 
I don't mean to stereotype or anything, but its just hard to see the son of a russian pole-vaulting champion being soft.
 
Works hard both directions, composed, skillful, passionate. Couldn't ask for much more. Gonna get a cult following in no time.
 
said to richo after the game, one of his roles is just to be young. :hihi
 
Watched him closely tonight. Three things stood out;

1. Great decision making
2. Elite runner
3. Oozes confidence. In his 5th or 6th game and had no issue directing other more senior players where to go.

and a 4th. Goes pretty hard at the ball and doesn't shirk challenges. He put his body on the line a number of times and didn't blink, totally the opposite to sh!ts himself Hunt everytime another player tries to contest a mark with him.
 
I have a dream that one day he's pivottal in a final and the chant goes up 'Oleg, Oleg Oleg Oleg' like Ole, Ole Ole Ole'.
 
5. he aint small, beside richo after the game.

Oleg oleg oleg oleg ...... oleg oleg

Nice game. He's got good skills, great athleticism and is a decent size. A lot to like.

And a fifth. Really wants the ball, demands it when he runs into space. He works hard off the ball too. Rapt with him.

I have a dream, that one day, a kid can be judged not by the style of his moustache, or the length of his old man's pole, but by the strength of his character.
