Thanks for the service Russian. Got the best out of himselfand was a real servant of the club.

If the Catsdo land themselves Danger,S. Selwood & Henderson this off season, i can see them picking up Russian as insurance for a premiership tilt as their ruckmen can never stay on the park.

Its not often a Demon makes the AA team. Mark Jamar did it against the odds. Well done Russian on a fine career, and for being a true MFC warrior.

No doubt that he found it increasingly difficult in recent seasons to keep up with the pace of the game but, when he got to a contest, I do not remember him ever looking like taking a backward step.

Never shirked an issue and didn't mind getting down and scrapping for the ball after an inconclusive ball up.

His kicking for goal was always real 'heart-in-mouth' stuff.

Hope he gets a 'Ben Hudson' type chance as a mature age rookie with a team who is in contention in 2016.

Congratulations and thanks, Big Fella.

Selwood is apparently staying at WC. Has agreed to terms.

Oh good, was worried Geelong were going to land him for free.

The after match interview after a win in Darwin while lying down absolutely knackered was very entertaining.

In that stellar year he made Brett Moloney look a very good footballer.

I would also like it if he could run round at Casey and help our youngish rucks next year. Mind you, if Cross and Byrnes play also, it will be a fairly ancient team

I'm not Beamer's biggest fan but this is unfair on him. Both were at their peak.

Knocked back a mature aged rookie spot, reckons he can land a senior list gig somewhere else.

Will play on somewhere else for another year.

As I think most halfway capable mature ruckmen should do. It's the flipside of that old saying about how young rucks take time to develop; it stands to reason that old ruckmen take time to become useless.

quite well put Chook. Mark simply doesn't fit into where Melbourne is currently, but that's not to say he couldnt be useful for a season or two at another club in a different position. I wish him well.

Hed always be welcome at the Dees after his footy career finishes

True enough P man however the ball was constantly going down Maloney's throat courtesy of the Russian.

If he gets a chance at a coaching role he should jump at the chance

Or at least stand there and stick his bum out.

Had a few really good years as evidenced by his All Australian selection. He always battled his all and was often completely stuffed at the end of matches after rucking his own the whole match, often against multiple opponents.

I've been lucky enough to meet him a few times and he's a really nice guy who always had time for a chat and was really positive.

Best of luck to him for his future and thanks for the service to the club. Will be fondly remembered by my family.
