Pick 50, in a so called weak draft. Really think the club has done well with this selection. Awesome athletic potential whom is starting to show he really can play footy. Will likely spend a decent length apprenticeship in the twos. But he could well turn out a bit of a steal in the end.

Welcome to the Tigers Oleg Markov

Looks like Jordan McMahon. Just when I thought I was cured, I'm going to have to go back to my shrink tomorrow now because of this pick.
FWIW I agree with Baloo. Oleg doesn't need a nickname.

Yes he is a great athlete, but running around in the SANFL is the best footy education a player can get. To me he looks every bit a natural footballer.
I didn't make the connection before, but I remember seeing his father pole vault for Australia. Won a World Championship.

yeah so he would of grown up with his dad in the gym and out on the field. I even think there was a bit of something something with Tatiana Grigorieya! Imagine that mix!
His dad was a solidly built athete too so theres a good chance Oleg has the same genes and will fill out well.
He reminds me of our own Kam Macintosh in his draft year. Lets give the kid time.
Such a high ceiling for both our 15 and 50 picks!
Lets hope it all pans out well.
Oleg came to Australia as an infant with his father and mother - whom wasn't Tatiana Grigorieva. Only link was that Dmitri Markov and Tatiana Grigorieva followed the same coach whom had moved to Australia. They weren't even from the same country (Markov - Belarus, Grigorieva - Russia).blx said:
That said, I wonder whether Tatiana has any kids running around? If not, match her up with Richo. Need to breed some father/son selections.

I didnt insinuate tatiana being olegs mother. I just remember them always being together thats all.

That's controversial! I wouldn't move too far from Tatiana either though TBH. Still have a copy of her black and white spread somewhere
When I was a teenager competing in athletics, I got Tatiana to sign my chest number at a track meet once (and Melinda Gainsford). My father's first response when I showed him, "Did they let you sign theirs?"BrisTiger24 said:
No, evidently not.tigerlove said:
And probably a good thing too. As a randy teenage boy with hormones racing galore, that would surely have been just too much for me to bare.
