[Chiang Mai Tiger]

Got to be called Boris after Boris Badenov from Rocky and Bullwinkle

Just love that Mo!

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.

Both Dmitri and his best mate Viktor Chiastakov (sp?) followed their coach out here. I think his name is Parnov. Chiastakov was going out with Grigorieva and she followed him to Australia. Parnov's daughter was also an athlete, she represented Australia in a Commonwealth Games, from memory the ones held in Melbourne.

Did I hear Francis Jackson right? This kid's been playing SANFL magoos?

Ben Nason anyone?

Played one game of seniors but it's not like we're talking about a 20 something state league player, Markov is still a raw teenager, he still needs to fill out a bit and that's in essence why he's been playing seconds. Don't forget Issac Smith had a similar frame and didn't click until 21, I think we need to be patient with this one.

Let's hope that McRae can develop the kids nicely - at this stage he's going to have a 6-7 speedsters in the side. Could be fun watching the VFL boys next year.

I just hope the force is strong too.

No doubt he's a project. Pick 50 in a supposedly weak draft should taper expectations. Hopefully he works out.

Emma Quayle listed him as one of the possible surprise packets in this draft.

Yep, would expect he will serve a decent length apprenticeship in the twos. I'd wait until he's 21-22 to pass judgement. From memory Ben Nason (whom was mentioned by another poster) was already 21 when he was drafted to Richmond from the SANFL ressies, so not a good comparison.

At least if he dosent turn out any good he could be a body double for jack sparrow

Nice little interview with Daniel (almost called him Cyril) and Oleg on the club site.

Oleg seems like a very well spoken young man. And how proud does his Dad look?

 

[Tenacious Tiges]

Good interview and yep his old man looked very, very proud of his boy!! I wish you well Legs.

General Markov

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.

Yep she has kids.
Tatiana is in Brisbane.
Has a gelato shop on racecourse Rd between eagle farm racecourse and the Brisbane river.
I bet it does well on racedays in summer

 

[Midsy]

Why can't I say his name properly? Mrakov... Mmmrakov... Nope.

John Mrakov has left an indelible mark.
