[Shermanator]

Looks like a young

Exactly what i thought at first glimpse..

Injuries are the only thing that will stop him making it.

Ticks all the boxes for an athletic tall forward.

Him vs Jones from * will be a fascinating comparison in a few years.

Dobbing that long goal after the siren in his debut game was telling for mine.

Demonstrated a great mindset - finish the job no matter what.

Glad this has been called out again. It was one of those little indicators you hope is a hint of greater things.

9 times out of 10 a player, especially one of debut - would fluff that kick. Dead rubber kick for goal, end of a game and a tricky kick to boot.

That he focused himself and nailed it was a really promising start. Only an isolated observation at this stage but an encouraging one.

For me it was the athleticism of that mark. Easy to miss considering many, including the commentators had switched off however his agility for someone that size is through the roof!

Ditto, have been thinking the same thing for a couple of months.

I would think he would want to be 95+ playing weight. Good sign that he can stack it on though....

95 would be ideal I think, we want him to still be agile

 

[Reagan Smash]

He's 199cms tall right ?

He should be aiming for 97kg-100kg range

 

[toepoker]

Am I right in saying height in cm minus 100 = goal weight in kg?

Hope not. Better hit the treadmill

Considering his youth and injuries, he is about where I expected him to be weight-wise. Should get there by next preseason.

 

[Krakoueraddict]

How much does Larks weigh? Think Chom is a big chance to play round 1.

Its hard to put on weight with shoulder issues.
I think he has done well.
I find it amazing he was playing for Vic country as a mid one year then had a massive growth spurt and is now a forward/ ruck size.
He could be anything if he stays on the track.

Just depends on the team dynamics more than anything else. Could see us running a third tall off the bench with larkey and CCJ forward but who knows.

Better hit the all-you-can-eat buffet, if they still exist in this COVIDest of times.

I think if we have a tall on the bench its Walker.
I was excited with the Comben training as a defender BS.
He could leapfrog Walker quite easily if he played there.

 

[Krakoueraddict]

Funny that Larkey could go from our only key forward to the 3rd biggest bloke in the forward line in a year.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Talk of moving this guy to defence is silly.

He’s got KPF1 attributes and must be persisted with.

Persisted? He hasn’t even really commenced
