Not as tall as Gunston but has some similar traits.

30 out of 30 in the goals kicking - can take that part of training

He won't be after our kicking coaches get to him. See Griffiths.
 
Welcome to Tigerland, Johnny, have a great career with the might Yellow and Black

for the younger PRE-ers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mrakov
 
But, seriously, like this pick. Some exciting athletic attributes, and can play .. and kicks effectively and accurately with his own style (so leave him alone!).
But like the way we selected for some flair and took some risks this year.
 
Just watching the AFL Draft Combine which Foxtel showed last month (I recorded it) and the interesting fact is that in the Goalkicking Test, Markov got a perfect score of 30/30 along with Gresham, O'Kearney (wasn't drafted) and Oliver. The kid is a sharpshooter.
 
From Wiki...

The usual pronunciation of Oleg in English is based on the transliteration of the Cyrillic alphabet, and hides three combined quirks of spoken (as opposed to written) Russian:

1.The stress is on the second syllable. In spoken Russian, the initial short unstressed 'O' is pronounced 'A' as in 'about', like 'Al-ég': however...
2.Written Russian 'e' is pronounced 'ye' as in 'yeti', like 'Al-yég': however...
3.A written final 'г' (hard g as in 'gun') is pronounced 'k', with the correct result 'Al-yék'.

Thus, rather than the typically mangled anglophone mess of 'Oh-leg', the proper pronunciation of Oleg in English most closely resembles the name Alec.
 
Markov finished 6th in the Vertical Jump with 69cm and Rioli 8th also with 69cm. Best jump was 75cm by a kid who didn't get drafted.
Both these boys will be dangerous in the forward line. I'm really seeing the strategy the recruiters went for tonight.

Google translate is hopeless. Didn't the meerkat ad pronounce it as 'Or-leg' ?
