Oleg is well down the list now imo.

Unfornately you may be right Craigo.
Another year on a contarct may have saved him and also possibly the fact he got injured and coming back.
Will be behind other players who he has to dislodge to get a game.

Up to him.
Unsure now.

Remember the days when a player like Oleg would be in the top 22 players regularly??

Ball is in his court. Should be at right fitness levels and experienced enough in the game plan. Hopefully stays injury free and can show what he has got.

Final chance for Oleg tonight.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Dimma giving Lego a chance to show what he's got.

Must be heaps of pressure on the kid. Hope he does well.

Also just scrolling up the page, has anyone heard from TigerMasochist? Last posted in March. I enjoyed reading his posts. Hope he's ok.

I wish Oleg well tonight but long term I can’t think of too many examples of a player who’s played a very low amount of games (17) in their first 3.5 seasons on an AFL list that go on to a long and successful career., especially in the modern era.

He's had a very odd trajectory. We were in raptures after his first game, and even more after his fifth, when he had 26 disposals, 12 marks, 4 inside 50s, 10 rebound 50s and 672 metres gained. We thought we had a half-back. That was four years ago. The next year he was the last man out of the premiership side, and some thought unlucky (really he was placeholding for Caddy). 2018 injured. 2019 - 20 touches at half-forward in the R3 defeat v GWS - who remembers that? Then sent forward in the VFL to play Stephensonesque quick leads from the goal square. Did okay, but was lucky he had a contract for 2020 and Menadue didn't.

Is he a half-back again now? Scratch match report says yes. The People's United Front of Play Jack Ross In The Guts hopes so. We'll find out soon. I'd love to see that 2016 dash back.

I'd forgotten about his first few games. Had me excited. Hope he can take his last chance and make the most of it

yeh Tommy, I messaged him a while ago with the same concern and he said he’s just reading for a while and not posting. Send him a pm. Come back and join us maso!

Sam Menegola comes to mind as a current player who spent time on lists without many (any?) games who is now a senior regular, but agree not that common I would think.

 

[Rancey18]

Very good start I would say.

 

[bairdy380]

Looks OK.... not obvious out of depth

 

[spook]

Solid so far.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

well done oleg

 

[BT Tiger]

Was ok. Did some nice things and i would give him another game.

He might make way for Vlastuin though, assuming he's right to go.

I think this is about right. Didn't do anything wrong, but will likely come out for Vlastuin. If Vlastuin needs another week, Oleg deserves another go.

 

[UKTiger]

A fair to good game from Oleg and now he has to build on it. Deserves another game next week

 

[spook]

He was solid, bar the dropped chest mark in the last. Less shaky than Ross and Stack looked early.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Played his role.
