Reviewing those links of Oleg Markov and what a character he is lends me to ponder what it is to have these infectious personalities around the Club.
If you have too many training robots, you remove character and we seem to have found a good balance on that front.

Of recent times we've had Daisy, Heater and Swanny who perhaps have been the modern day standouts.
My early days of supporting the Club, Billy Picken and Rene Kink stood out, with commentators like our own Louie the Lip Richards adding nicknames to give them even more colour, like wrestlers.

So here's to Leggy and the characters of our game.

Going back a bit, pants Millane had to be on such a list, with Phil Carman and one from left field, Aaron James.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

'COLLINGWOOD has locked away ... Oleg Markov to a one-year deal, having renegotiated his contract in recent weeks.
...

He signed a one-year deal with a trigger for a second season in August last year, but Collingwood has recently restructured Markov's existing deal to ensure he remains at the club in 2025.'

Gotta say, hope it was real cheap...

You'd presume so; I'm not convinced the salary cap is quite back on the black yet.
Anyhoo, like many other fringe [and senior] players on our list, he failed to maximise the 2023/2024 off season to improve his disposal standard.
And here we are.

James, Hotton and Ross were all ratbags when on the piss when out on the town.
