Welcome to the Tigers Oleg Markov

Hes not near Broad as an AFL defender.

Markov has wingman written all over him if hes going to play senior footy the way he goes about it, and hes miles ahead of Menadue.
Markov looks like he's over the injuries that kept him out last year and he looks to have bulked up as well.

I cant wait to see him own the wing when he gets his chance

The only way I see Markov owning a wing is if he buys a bucket of KFC !
 
Don't reckon he's far off. At the minute I have him, Brando and Ross as the three emergencies for round 1.

Didn't do a hell of a lot wrong over the JLT. I'm comfortable with him playing.

I think his got a bit of the Jacko’s atm, no doubt his a full on unit, however I think the key to him becoming an AFL player is to get rid of the droppped marks, fumbles and double grabs, he naturally takes the game on with ball in hand , has pace and a pretty reliable right boot, but just like Jacko I think he gets himself a little too pumped up, bull at a gate type stuff, I have one word for Lego “RELAX” and with that should become a cleaner footballer and less panicking fumbles

Sorry but are you talking about Dan Jackson? If so I know he got white line fever but he wasn't a fumble fingers. Just pumped up with a low football I.Q ( no disrespect but true )
Think a better comparison is George. Body and mind working too fast and not in sync. Relaxing and confidence the key
 
Perfect matchup for Oleg is Stephenson, Same size / weight but very dangerous player

Oleg has had a great pre season and really needs to show he has the ability to close out a player like stephenson
 
It's showtime for Oleg. He will get an extended run at it. Needs to take big steps.

I'm a believer.
