Player Watch #20: Nick 'Souva' Larkey - '23 AA & '24 NM VC - plays game 100 v Hawthorn

[Rogue Robot]

Frosty watch today. Port Melbourne play Footscray at 11am today while Souva plays at 1pm. Should know how much he would need to win if Lisle kicks a few goals today.

let's hope Lisle preforms the same as last week then

Nothing so far most the way through 2 quarters.

Nothing so far most the way through 2 quarters.

Seems to be his lucky day.

 

[Rogue Robot]

Is Lisle injured? Nothing from him after the first.

 

[giantroo]

Only 2 behinds for Lisle.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lock in larkey for frosty then

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Would be an awesome result for Nick to take away the Frosty.

Fingers and toes crossed.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lisle no goals

Larkey wins
New nickname Frosty

Everyone likes a nice frosty to go with a souva.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Well done Nick. Great effort this year.

Definitely getting the call up next year.

Will it be at North AFL or somewhere else?

 

[Firestarter]

Will it be at North AFL or somewhere else?

What does that even mean?

 

[Groucho]

Will it be at North AFL or somewhere else?

Hmmmm know something?

 

[darko]

Will it be at North AFL or somewhere else?

Why would it be somewhere else?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Hmmmm know something?

The bloke reckons we're trying to recruit "Polak" and that if we use our first rounder we can't get TT.

I doubt it.

I think Souva looks a bit like Mick Martyn’s Mum.

 

[ferball]

On ya Souva.

Another one who got big raps on family day. Face painting expert and league topping goal kicker. This kid has it all.

One of the biggest questions going into 2019. Can he put on 8+kg and cement a spot in the senior side?

Reckons he’s put on 10. What’s his ideal playing weight? Wouldn’t want to be over 100, surely?

Not sure, but just visually he looks like he's not quite big enough. I'd play him anyway. We all know he has the skills.

Probably around 93-95kg I reckon. His game is built around speed and mobility. I think he has a similar build as Justin Westhoff and would play a similar role at AFL level.

I rate Westhoff, but I'm not convinced that Larkey could play the intercept back role, as a mobile ruckman, or as a tall winger like Westhoff does. He's a unique footballer.

While Westhoff is a competent forward, I also think Larkey will have him well covered as a natural KPF going forward.

I hope he comes in and takes Waite's spot next year. There's a lot to like about him and I think he would be a decent foil for Brown. I wouldn't be surprised to see him kick 35+ next year if he played every game in the senior side, which would be a great return for a pick 70-something KPF who still has a lot of development to come.
