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

[the big lebowski]

He's having quite a good year and going under the radar. On track for ~40 goals as the number 1 key forward in the bottom-ranked team.

Agree! Another positive for the year, but flying under the radar somewhat.

I know we all bemoan some of his efforts at times, but I’ve been pretty impressed by some of the smarts and cleanness below the knees he has consistently shown this year. Reckon if he had the athleticism and body of a Majak Daw

Larkey still looks a few years from getting his body to its peak in terms of strength and mass. He's come a long way since he started though. Makes it more impressive that he has gotten results recently as the primary tall target.

really shows that he needs another target - even if its Xerri atm

No wonder Cam got sad and needed to get a dog to cheer him up!

6 for Souva! Personal best

Shame on all you dickheads who were saying he was no good at the start of the year when we were getting belted.

It helps that the delivery has been much better to him today.

Make that 7!

Blokes were sticking the boots into him something shocking at the start of the year and it was bloody unfair considering he was busting his arse and getting abysmal delivery. He has been fantastic since the bye and it deserves to be recognised more than it is

Huge game from Souvyyyy

 

[hotchilli]

Great reward today, onya Souv.

 

[DrZaius]

I just don't see it with Larkey...

 

[SammyRoo]

Will he make it ?

 

[gokangas]

Just a game. Got fed all day and could only kick seven. JOKING!!!!! YES - he was sensationally good. Loved his game. Took a few contested marks, contested well all day - love it. Loved the way he actually got out one on one (and won). Not sure if that was a change of plan for him or Carlton played him differently. But best game I have seen him play.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Still just 23. He's gonna be even more dangerous when he has some genuine tall support, be that Comben or a new player.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Has not even played 50 games yet and he smashed a gun defender in Weitering, who was shifted forward by the fourth.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Just wait until Comben joins him

Career high 20 disposals along with the 7 goals, great performance.

 

[shinboner magic]

Imagine when he has another dangerous tall next to him.
