Player Watch #20: Nick 'Souva' Larkey - '23 AA & '24 NM VC

[roos_fanatic08]

Brown plays much better with another KPF alongside him, so is Larkey ready to play 15+ games next year as a replacement for Waite, or is he still a year or 2 off?

Would want to improve his one on one strength if he was to hold down CHF for 15 games. I think he’ll start to make in roads half way through next year

 

[Luke72]

I’d play him from the outset and see how he goes. I suspect he would wind up getting left alone as the attention all goes to Brown.

Looking bigger across the shoulders.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He's going to be lean like Petrie

[King Corey]

Looks to have a thinner, smaller bone structure. Visually think he'll look more muscular if he can bulk up but will always be a little challenged in terms of having a nice stable base for contest from.

Don’t take pics of them - pick them up

I imagine as a budding artist, he painted the mural of the roo.

Needs to study his anatomy more, but i like it Larks.

i'm only criticising out of habit for doing art everyday myself for a living.

He was doing face painting at the family day last year. He was really good.

Upgrade from Gibbo at Family Days

Out of contract at the end of 2019?

Hope he stays

As do I, but can't see a way Brown and Larkey play in the same team - happy to be proven wrong

Don't think he would be playing more games at any other club except Gold Coast so don't see why he would want to leave. The main thing stopping him playing ones (I would assume) is size, which will come in time. Hope we give him a two year deal, a lot to like about Larkey.

All he needs to do is maintain his improvement curve.

I'm still not expecting much AFL wise in 2019.

The impatient will have to wait it out.

I disagree. Larkey can take away another defender from triple teaming Brown

 

[Firestarter]

Which is kind of a bloody necessity.

Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to playing three genuine talls.

Remember when we used to play Petrie/Tarrant/Hansen all up forward?

Looks like he started drawing popeye with a batman mask on with a hint of the terminator. Then thought it'd be better as a kangaroo. The left side of the Kangaroo's face signifies that he's had a stroke recently. The Kangaroo is clearly left-handed because his shoulder and bicep is double the size of his right side (definitely hasn't been using Kangatech). I'm not sure if the vein in his left bicep is a vein or an alien-like tentacle has gripped onto it like in 'invasion of the bodysnatchers'. It looks like the Kangaroo is tensing his right pec but not the right (similar to Chong Li in 'Bloodsport').
The Kangaroo's abdominal muscles are floating up to his pecs.

Based on this I'm not sure I'd want Nick to paint on my kid's cheek come family day.

I thought your credentials were in science, not art? Therefore, by your own logic, your comments are not credible in this instance, right?

Not exactly a high point in our recent performance history haha

 

[Engimal v3]

I used to feel like putting my foot through the TV when ol' "Concrete Hands" Tarrant used to drop every mark up forward, and now he's one of the top KPD in the comp!

Only if an Art Major $) comes in and debunks them.

Should be aiming for Waite’s spot. Smart footballer. Brown & Larkey combo this year.
