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

[shinboner magic]

Article in Sun Age today.

Says deliberately takes power off the kick.

Believes there is less margin of error to miss the goals should it be a bad ball drop

(vs Blasting it hard on a bad ball drop)

Most if not all of his shots at goal have a slow fade - should always start at the left goal post

This aged well champ.

Hahahaha. This is why I never make any bold claims ever*







*I definitely have, but idgaf.

Dermie just gave larkey massive wraps on Russels SEN show . Described him as an exceptional forward. Funny it’s taken all year that he’s finally getting some AA buzz.

Derm has always been a fan of Larks

Funny story about Larkey
He grew up in house opposite me in Balwyn At the time I was the local newsagent and once a week he would come into the shop and top his myki up and scrounge around his change to buy Footy Cards.
If only I knew how much joy i would get seeing him develop into a North Champion I would have given him a freebie or 2

 

[DuckYeah]

Give him the stand alone C next year.

 

[lockheed]

In the each of the 6 years prior to this his 71 goals would have won the Coleman.

Probably would have won it this year if the Eagles weren't so bad

 

[ferball]

Dear god …..

... hope you got the letter and

I pray

We play a little better next year

Then celebrate a bit with Koshari's best beer

Hard to go past a bloke who made the AA team in a side that finishes second bottom on percentage. Well deserved, best set shot in the comp (among other attributes)

 

[Devington]

Also carried a lower leg or foot injury for a while early on IIRC.

He started turning it on in the second half of the year.

 

[Roostorm]

Great recognition for Nick…... Big things ahead

 

[Devington]

Great work big fella! Onwards and upwards!

Larkey needs to be captain

 

[Harpergun]

Just has captain written all over him.
Star. Well done larks

 

[Bulge]

+1 vote for captain from me.

A captain should be one who stands up on game day in big moments and executes. A leader who can say get behind me fellas, I’ve got this. Someone who is going to not only try their guts out but be impactful and effective doing it.

I don’t see our current captains doing this. Larks does this week on week.

 

[Arathrawn]

Listening to him this morning he is a really polished performer in the media and the way he spoke about Bails and Sheez just shows great leadership. Shinboner.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Spoke so well last night - cheeky to announce the winner in advance but he wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to praise Sheez, great leader.

 

[viccles]

Larks for captain, Sheez for vice.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Well done Souva. Interesting how he said he got a bit of a reality check when he was in the unprepared group in pre-season.

Another hack?

But in all seriousness if we don’t improve next year clubs will just pick our pockets.
