We also proved we're reasonable to deal with- not having a Dodoro reputation will come back to help us.
Agree but except for Ellis most of that speed was spent in the vfl for the others. We have definitely lost depth and will hurt more if higgins leaves too. But think Markov trade was fine overall for me.Butler, Markov, Ellis ...There's some serious speed off our list.

He may not be able to change lanes on a football ground but he sure can off it.
Well said ToOts this has been my argument against Oleg, he just doesn't win the footy enough for a half back.A reminder Oleg has only had 20 possessions once in 23 games. He has some skills & may well be a late developer but for a 25 year old running defender I am happy we got a 3rd rounder for him. Also that he gets opportunity elsewhere. It's a pretty fair trade.

Very fond of Markov but Just love "iron balls."Oleg is an interesting addition to GCS.
First. Closing speed. Is Oleg by far the quickest closer in the AFL? Didn't they clock him at 39.5kmh or something?
Off the mark. Acceleration. 2.87 for 20m at combine. Oleg Markov is the quickest player in the game.
GCS implying they need to get quicker? Oleg Markov makes sense.
Oleg was not a junior footballer. Didn't play much. (See the likeness to Balta at times?) Freak athlete who hasn't learned to use the gifts. To be fair Markov was showing in late 2020 that he had at least begun. And he was successful.
And having established himself in the 18 he was summarily dumped for Iron Balls, who proved the decision probably right.
Mr Damien Hardwick made the choice. Broad over Markov. I think based on strategy. Defence above attack.
And here we are. Oleg is gone.
And RFC will trade Oleg to the club that bids for him. We're all about player welfare.
And we won't snivel about how Oleg Markov owes us something. We gave him short shrift for strategic reasons. We're accountable for that. (We have a premiership to account for.)

Who the hell is Iron Balls?
Seriously, I know I am naïve but I have no idea.
I think we are the winners out of it.
Adelaide took the second round compo for Brad Crouch which meant they probably didn't think they could do much better with a trade and will all due respect to Markov, at this stage he isn't fit to carry Crouch's bags.
Must be on colossal money. $800K+ x 3 years.What gets me more is the ridiculous compensation some get - pick 7 for Daniher?
What gets me more is the ridiculous compensation some get - pick 7 for Daniher? Yeah, he can be good . . . if he ever gets on the ground.
Has big potential to hurt the Lions if he can't stay on the park.Must be on colossal money. $800K+ x 3 years.
