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

[DarkPhoenix]

What I like about Larkey is he looks comfortable in his height.

Tall blokes often look like newborn giraffes running around the ground but he looks to be fairly agile for his height.

One of my favourites. His ability to float through the air and maintain soft hands reminds me a lot of Carlisle.

Funny you say that as a mate of mine who is an avid junior footy watcher said the same thing.

Selection No.73 – Nick Larkey
Bryce Lewis says: "Nick has been a bit of a swingman. He played back for Oakleigh Chargers and in the National Championships. But he's kicked multiple goals when forward for Oakleigh and has pinch-hit in the ruck, so he's a bit of a troubleshooter. He still has a lot of filling out to do at 198cm, but we think he offers us some versatility as a tall."

I hear ya DP there's a dwarf at work who I don't believe is comfortable with his height so much so no one ever mentions it........ he doesn't eat salt.

There's nothing quite like picking up a "Souva" Larkey late.

Sorted.
Larkey = the souva.

Great late pick up. Looks versatile to play Fwd & Back. Welcome to North Mr Larkey.

Like the 30-60 range.

Liked what I saw from him against VC when I watched it earlier in the month. Made me look him up. Thought he would be a good late pick up.

Throws himself at the contest. Good mark and set of hands, strong hands. Looks like a much better mark than Watson. Obviously taller and a much better athlete aswell. Alot to work with.

I like the look of him. Plays proactive footy, takes the game on and clearly has some skills. Lots of time to work on his body with the amount of KPP we have. Could see him becoming a Tom Lynch (Ade) or Justin Westhoff like player.

Larkey = Car Key(s)

[we have another one?]

 

[Flawed Genius]

Here's some stats from the games of TAC Cup I could find:

 

[Flawed Genius]

So he averaged basically 12 touches, 4 handball receives, 4 marks, a tackle and a goal and a half per game from 10 games in the TAC Cup.

Not bad for a 198cm key forward.

I suppose the positive from reading those stats is that he didn't have games where he was entirely out of it. In games where he didn't impact the scoreboard, he still had above average disposals, marks, handball receives or tackles. Finds a way to get involved.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Averages 16 touches, 9 marks and 5 goals in finals against Calder. #elite
