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

[Le Grille]

Don't lie.

Aaron Black never teased you with VFL form.

Correct, his body of work in his first year playing against men is far superior to many draftees of recent times.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Don't lie.

Aaron Black never teased you with VFL form.

Aaron Black was an athlete before a footballer too. Larkey is about as natural as you get.

No doubting that. The kids a footballer. Whether they stuff him up is another question.

No. He saved his teasing for AFL form.

"We really want to have a group of key position players who aren't defined by playing at one end of the ground; recently we've moved Nick back to get some experience playing on the small nippy forwards to learn how to stifle an opponent first rather than always looking to create. There's a role in the AFL for him if he learns to play to a structure and within his limitations. "

Disagree. Aaron black wasn't/isn't an athletes a$$h0le did you ever see him chase down an opponent ever?

Let's let more than one of them get to 50 games and consistent senior output before we crack out the BJs mate.

 

[B4Bear]

Really looks like he has the tools, can't wait to see him put a bit more size on and see what he can do at AFL level.

Why does he need to put on size. If he has the skills to play, then play him now.

We have spent years having players put on size, and pine away in the magoos. And look where that has gotten us, ******* nowhere.

Give him a crack NOW. Just like we did with Turner.

No wonder our young players look out of place at AFL level; they spend the enthusiastic learning curve time playing in bum*ville at an order of magnitude slower pace.

Every time I read Nick Larkey's name I am reminded of this 22 sec Blackadder clip.

 

[giantroo]

[ShiNoBi]

[koshari]

[Skiparoo]

Congratulations Nick, look forward to watching you in action.

 

[Hojuman]

Another Trinity boy l believe ?

 

[marklovesbeer]

Great interview. Very happy for him.
9 debutants this year, can't complain about not playing the kids since getting rid of Spud, Boomer etc.

 

[Groucho]

Looking forward to the game now. Sounds like he knows all about structures, woohoo.

 

[ansonholt]

Can play, this kid. Moves well too. Will look like Ben Brown's younger brother when out there and will be a challenge to match up on in future years. Best of luck to him.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Awesome. Who would have thought a 4th round key position player would debut in his first year!

Best of luck kid!

 

[Jindrrk]

Well this is a pleasant surprise

So does this mean perhaps that Majak or Goldy not playing? The way Brad was talking in the presser that perhaps maybe one of them might not be playing this week. I know JZ isnt playing but makes me wonder.

 

[Chazdog92]

My boy Souvlarkey is playing! I called it a few weeks back
