I worried when he got the ball at the start of the season, but his kicking has gotten much more reliable. Must just come with the increased confidence?
Fly taught Cox to kick.
I think all our players kicking has improved from the Buckley era.
But if Fly can teach a guy who had never seen a Sherrin, then improving Markov’s foot skills shouldn’t have been to hard.
 
If there was betting markets on offer for it, I'd be willing to put a lot of money on him getting Best Clubman on Friday night. What a story that none of us saw coming in February. He has embraced everything that Fly is teaching the team. From playing with excitement, windscreen wiping mistakes, and strong connection with teammates.

I still swear he's a time traveler that has come to us from the golden era of Collingwood to guide us to another.

P.S- Is he a genuine Harry Highpants or does he have an abnormally long leg to upper body ratio?

Something is going on there.
He has a body?
You sure?
I can’t e get past the mo when looking at him.
Oh, and the grin. Huge, huge grin!

Well, his dad was a world champion pole vaulter so it would be in his genes.

What a character! My biggest fear is that he shaves that moustache for next season... I believe it contains his secret power.

Not much chance of that I suspect, given that the mo appears to have been the culmination of a body of work undertaken since his junior years...

Not sure it was ever his skills, more his decision making and confidence. Even in the GF he should have backed himself and taken the shot instead of laying it up for Frampton.
