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

[King Corey]

A forward line? An entire team?

Yeh that too.

Reminds me of Corr a few weeks ago. Odds on there was a bit of physical impairment on top of just labouring away in a disjointed team.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Might be carrying something.

Suspect that as well

 

[DuckYeah]

Having a stinker of a year. A B+ year.. will reach the heights of an 75 goal year player again..

 

[Grogg]

Just for clarity here, are we allowed to celebrate this?

No.

 

[Chadwiko]

Struggled big time today. Perhaps his worst game for the year.

 

[giantroo]

Goalless game. And his goal a game record goes with it.

 

[King Corey]

He's been our only key forward for 4 seasons, our forward structure and entries are putrid and we thought we'd throw him in the ruck just to really finish him off.

Give the bloke a break. Probably playing with a broken leg yet still our best key forward option.

simply gotta get an aerial forward in to take the focus of him,

Man needs help

Definitely not a 100%

Frustrated first time poster. During every game I find myself muttering “Larkey no Marky” over and over again. He rarely seems able to take a contested mark and yes, he is an accurate kick at goal, but it seems such an huge effort to actually get the ball in his hands so he can take a shot.

During every game I find myself muttering “Larkey Malarkey” quite a bit.

He seems to mis-time his leads and appears to be easy to spoil in contested situations. Esava Ratugolea looked like David Dench yesterday the way he dominated Larkey. Unfortunately, Larkey looked like Jack Ginnivan when appealing for free kicks.

And he probably deserved one or two I admit, but he has to be harder and stronger in contested situations.

His attitude reminds me of richo before he matured and was moved up the ground.

Has he taken a contested mark this year? Haha I swear he was zero at like game 6-7

Think he took a couple yesterday or at least I believe they would have been counted.

On the money, if we had a contested marking key forward, Nick would be playing high half forward, getting his opponents up on the wing and running them off their legs, getting back into space forward of the footy.
He’s unfortunately playing out of position, but we’ve no other option atm, so when the side is going ok, he’s great, when they’re not, he’s dog sh*t. Simples!
