Welcome to the Tigers Oleg Markov

Delighted, really like what I see in this kid. Think he will be a player.
 
Looks to have filled out a fair bit, from the last couple of VFL games. Definitely prefer to keep him over Ellis or Menadue.
 
Id keep Oleg before Menadue and Ellis.

Oleg showed he can play in his first season.

Will be an option to replace Bash.
 
Great news.

His first season showed he was made of the right stuff. Suits our game style and has pace.

Of course other clubs would have been enquiring about him. Makes sense.

Cruelled by injury this year but showed in the two final games he is worth having on the list who we all hope can be that Houli replacement or on the wing.

i am a fan of Oleg, but it is worth noting he is 5 months older then both CEllis and Menadue.
 
Thought he looked super solid in the VFL final and seemed to direct some traffic and showing some leadership. He seems to be filling out a bit too and a fair bit stronger through the hips.

If he can have composure at AFL level he’ll be best 22 as others have said probably as Houli drops off

I agree, Spook. Too many prepared to write off 21-22 year olds because they haven't become established players yet. It's an individual thing, varies for a whole host of factors including attitude, personality and body type.

They all show various AFL traits that will get stronger with the greater experience that is bound to come next year.
 
Ah - are we talking about Corey or Brando? Brando has a contract and I think he'll stay. Corey is out of contract. He might leave.

I was talking about Corey Spooker.
 
I was referring to Corey. I hear Essendoom are into him but still think we should keep him. A future Houli replacement with that kicking ability. Will toughen up with more experience and muscle on his frame. Just needs to find a metre of pace - can be done.
