Seems like a lotta folks believe their duty is to pretend everyone at the Pies is perfect in every way. Why? Imperfection can be loved too.

Bah.…………………! To me, every time we win the flag, it is utter perfection

Perfection only lives in moments.

Will he change numbers from 37? He won a flag wearing it after all.

Keegan & Co podcast: OLEG MARKOV - Helpless and alone to Grand Final Premiers

The podcast provides an interesting insight into the man and the club. I was pleasantly surprised by how well Oleg articulated himself.

Do yourself a favour and have a listen when you have a spare 1.5 hours.

I did listen to Oleg and how refreshing to hear his outlook on not only footy but life itself

He's a great lad and a much loved clubman.

It's crazy to think he still wasn't on our list this time last year. How quickly fortunes can change.

Most talented young AFL players show promise, most have trouble taking the next step, some manage to hang onto a list spot longer than average, Markov at 26 was one of them.

Now at age 27, I reckon we have only scratched the surface…blessed with raw talent, he seems to have far more ability and potential than what we have expected from him, there is more to come. He could prove to be a rare pickup.

(edit: first 4 years on a strong Richmond list, next 2 years for unstable Gold Coast, He may have slipped through the net... A Hine special)

He was not a Hine special.

Fly coached him at Richmond and encouraged him to come and try to earn a spot. He talks about it in the Keegan & Co podcast that I linked a few posts above.
