[sruss]

6th youngest in the team besides Daicos x2, Serong, Rozee and Butters. Starting FF next year big boy

 

[Roostorm]

I think this best sums up some of my feelings about tonight …stoked pumped and

 

[Psicosis]

Well done Souv. Looking forward to a few more free kicks as a result of that blazer

 

[Jasemon]

Fantastic reward for a fantastic year Souv. So much positivity this evening I think I’ve developed a twitch.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Love it.
Hopefully a couple more in this photo next year.

 

[Ashley B]

Well … we know our North girl won’t win the:

“All Australian Interchange Steward” !!

She helped get the Darlings through. Still reckon their was some subterfuge involved but hard to prove.

 

[Gasometer]

Well...... this is awkward Rogue Robot

Congratulations on AA

Now big mouth, head down the other end of the ground to help out a bit seeing your happy to play anywhere

Ah yes and now the imminent back hander no Sanders no priority and one bonus rookie player to help us oh and if Ben goes a pick late in the first round

 

[amaz199]

He's one of the very few players in the competition that you can watch live taking a set shot and know he's gonna kick it.

He's ultra reliable, ultra consistent and ultra GOOD!

The AA is recognition of his hard work and consistency. Remarkable achievement.

Shhh don’t telegraph that in here …as l sure most media types lurk in the background…getting their news stories to run. lm going to enjoy this happiness tonight before any crazy shenanigans in way of draft order gets possibly thrown our way..

Just bumping this from July last year. AA was coming once he cleaned his kicking up a little more and held his ground before leading in a more organised system ;-)! I was out by two spots in the Coleman.

Well played

For the love of god make him captain

I actually think he is the only guy that screams leadership.

George Harry LDU?

Hoj glad to have set the standard at my old Alma Mater for Nick to win his AA;
. Easton
. Hoj
. Schwass
. Goldstein
. McDonald
. Power
. Tyson

What a champ! Well done Larkey! Only the beginning for him too as he begins to enter his prime. Physically, he still looks like he can fill out a bit which will only make him even more unstoppable combining his incredible read of the ball, leading patterns, and goal kicking accuracy. Can't see why he couldn't carve out a similar career to Josh Kennedy - premiership player, multiple Colemans, AAs, etc.

 

[Samsquanch]

Now he has been made AA does that entitle him to be paid the marks and frees normally given to the other top forwards? You know, the ones Nick has regularly missed out on over the past few years.

If so, 100+ is a possibility.

Yes. I would say so.

Very harsh on Jy

 

[justroyal]

Very harsh on Jy

I stand by it

 

[SammyRoo]

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)

 

[Engimal v3]

Should be captain imo

Jy and LMac his 2x vice captains - and that's the leadership group.

 

[Mav]

Alright let's have the discussion.

He's actively hurting the team at the moment with his lack of effort and poor footy IQ.

Comben has played 7 AFL games total and is already a much better lead and pack mark than Larkey, and it's not because Comben is an exceptional talent or anything. He just works harder.

I've been saying this for years now (and copped a lot of s**t for it) but Larkey simply is not a #1 key forward. Our entire forward structure is worse off because of it.

This aged well champ.
