Did better than I expected.

Good game and unlike Brown who he comfortably eclipsed at least halved contests and tackled with intent.

Promising.

 

[Sideburns Ahern]

From now through to the Bye, play BBB further up the ground and direct as many Forward 50 entries through Larkey as we would normally go to Brown. He will slot 25 goals by then.

So happy for Nick
And I don’t think his body shape will be an obstacle looked very comfortable out there , nice hands, great kick

I was very happy also when I think BT and Carey said that Larkey has a bit of a young Drew Petrie about him.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees him that way, his build is eerily similar

Well done Nick, not only some nice marking, tackling, and goal kicking, but also competed in quite a few Ruck contests as well, which would be tiring for a young fella playing only his 3rd game, ( with the emphasis on competed and not winning, yet ), one of my highlights from this game easily.

Rising star nom?

Rising star nom?

Maybe.

 

[Dingster]

Promising young gun. Gives a genuine contest and a reliable kick for goal. What could go wrong?

 

[wazza03]

He’s our new Petrie. Reminds me of a young Petrie in the number 20. Must play every game from now.

- Superb judge of footballers
- Shit judge of weather.
- Still streets ahead of the obvious "after the fact" drivel that you serve up on a weekly basis.

Goal number one!

 

[Ry009]

Mark for the first goal was very Drew-esque. Great to see.

 

[Orange Peanut]

I loved how he was in amongst it when there were little dust ups. I mean, I know flying the flag is crap, but I enjoyed that aspect of his game.

 

[Istanbul Roo]

No bigger indictment on the coaching panel than the fact this bloke has managed 3 senior games in 3 years on the list.

Not so for me. He came in three years ago as a late pick, skinny as anything, and no where near ready to play AFL. They've done a great job in developing him.

 

[remfan101]

Played angry last night, and it was fantastic to see. I’ve worried about whether he will make it at times but if he brings that intensity and desire to win the football and compete around the ground he’ll be more than ok.

 

[Jesslc]

Far cry from his first few games where he was absolutely cooked from the warm up. Loved his game.

 

[Hojuman]

Trinity legacy continues, well done Nick.

 

[Bigeasy]

I was surprised by his agility on the ground, he was throwing himself into contests and crashing packs, no wonder Carey had a boner.

Well done Nick, outsanding game for a third game key forward.

Maybe the start of a scary of a forward line, plenty of cnut about him and his mate CZ

Has a better set shot than Drewie.

He had some leading patterns that looked great in what was overall a poor performance entry and forward wise.

Wait until he has played a significant number of games where he and brown work together to gel and increase space for each other. Can only benefit both of them

Thomas, Larkey and Brown have to be mainstays in our forward line for the next 5 years

Tarryn won't get stuck in the forward line for that long.
