Oleg Markov Biography

Oleg Markov is one of the most popular and richest Australian Rules Footballer who was born on May 8, 1996 in Vitebsk, Belarus. Oleg Markov (Belarusian: Oleg Markau, born on May 8, 1995) is a pro Australian rules footballer who plays for Richmond Football Club. Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was chosen for Richmond during the 3rd round of the national draft, and began his career in the round 16 of the season of 2016. In 2019, he took home the VFL premiership in Richmond’s reserve side.

Markov took part in the AFL debut in the 16th round of the season 2016 in the match in which he played the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium. He scored 18 disposals and nine marks in the game. In the next week, he scored his first goal of his career in the 17th round of the match against Essendon. Markov ended the season with eight games in succession to finish the season, and he had the average in the range of 15.4 per game in addition to 6.3 scores per game. He was also ninth at the club in terms of metres gained per game.

After spending the first four weeks of the 2017 season in the reserves, Markov was called up to playing his first AFL match of the season in round 5 against Melbourne. In round 6 he kicked an equal team high (and a career high) two goals in the club’s loss to Adelaide. He remained in the club’s senior side for the following two weeks, but was dropped after a six disposal game in the round 8 loss to Fremantle. Markov returned to senior football for a single match in round 15, being omitted form the side the following week. He had another two match streak in rounds 22 and 23, but was dropped from the club’s qualifying final team to play the following week. Markov’s year did not end there however, as he played three matches in Richmond’s VFL finals run. The streak included playing in the losing grand final against Port Melbourne. At season’s end he had played seven senior matches.

After rebuilding some of his muscle mass lost during injury rehabilitation in the year prior, Markov spent the 2018/19 off-season developing his defensive skills in order to complement his rebounding abilities. In February he missed some training due to a minor knee complaint but recovered in time to feature in each of the club’s two official pre-season matches in March. Despite showing improvements on his output from his last AFL match two years prior, he was unable to gain selection in round 1’s season opener against Carlton. An injury to fellow half-back Bachar Houli saw Markov called up to AFL the next week however, contributing eight and 20 disposals respectively over a two match stint at AFL level. He would be dropped back to VFL level after those two matches, where he managed to play just one match before suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee. While an initial diagnosis suggested a recovery time of six to eight weeks, a highly successful surgical operation allowed to Markov to return to VFL football within four. He missed one further VFL match in early June due to illness before being suspended for another later that month. In early July, AFL released GPS data identified Markov as the fastest player in the league that season, having achieved a top sprint speed of 37.4 kilometres per hour in round 2’s loss to Collingwood. He was shifted to a new role at that same time, playing as a small forward and kicking two goals in his first VFL match in the role. Markov continued to play as a forward through the final five matches of the VFL home and away season, earning regular praise from head coach Craig McRae while kicking a total of eight goals. He was quiet in a come-from-behind qualifying final win over the Essendon reserves in the first week of the finals, before kicking two last-quarter goals in a preliminary final victory over Port Melbourne a fortnight later. Markov kicked one goal for the Richmond VFL side that defeated Williamstown the following week, as the club won its first reserves grade premiership since 1997. He finished 2019 having played two matches at AFL level, along with winning a VFL premiership after 16 matches and 13 goals with the club’s reserves side.

Markov was selected by Richmond as Richmond’s second selection, and 50th overall selection in the draft of 2015.

Markov was drafted but did not sign in 2014, and then was drafted by North Adelaide for the 2015 season. He played in matches for the reserves and senior team. He was a part of his South Australian side at 2015’s National Under-18 championships. He played in five games. In the second round of the tournament, the player scored five goals and scored 16 disposals in a stunning display in the match against Vic Metro.

In 2014, Markov played in the Under 18’s Football league in the North Adelaide Football Club. His time in the field was however limited by two major collar bone injuries.

In the weeks following the end of the 2017 season, Markov underwent shoulder surgery. Though he would return to conditioning work quickly, the ongoing injury rehabilitation would limit his skills and contact training into the start of the 2018 calendar year. As a result Markov was not in selection consideration in the first month of the AFL season, instead playing reserves football in the VFL. There he sustained a quad injury in late April and missed two weeks of football as a result. After returning from that injury Makov played a further four matches at VFL level including in a new role as a hybrid defensive player, taking a one-on-one role against opponents’ third-tall forward in addition to his normal half-back rebounding role. In early-May though Markov sustained a match-ending knee injury during the first minute of a VFL match against Williamstown. Scans would later reveal the injury to be a strained medial collateral ligament that would see him miss an expected four to six-weeks. Markov made a return to training behind schedule in early-July and played VFL football again in the penultimate weekend of the month. He sustained yet another knee injury in that match however, this time suffering a torn meniscus that required surgery to repair. Markov made a return to running and conditioning in mid-August and to competitive football in Richmond’s losing VFL qualifying final against Williamstown in September. He recorded 15 disposals in the match and repeated the effort with a further 15 in the club’s knock-out semi-final loss to the Essendon reserves side the following week. Markov finished the season having played 10 matches with the club’s reserves side in the VFL but failed to play a match at AFL level.
