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

[Engimal v3]

Moral captain

 

[Engimal v3]

Larkey was involved with 38% of our scoring possession chains in 2023, ranking 4th in the AFL.

Trade /FA window this year should be all about getting this guy another KPF to support him.

I think my screen glitched as I scrolled to this. I read "...should be all about getting this guy another KPF to kill him." I was extremely concerned at our list management strategy.

The David Noble tactic?

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Oh by the way Max King in the top 7 lol. The guy is so overrated

Has there ever been a player rated on potential more than King?

Captain Souv

It'll be interesting how this year pans out. Larkey feels like the man though I really like the idea of Jy as sole captain.

I like Luke as a team member but the dual captaincy still feels off.

You know you’re a gun when you get toweld up by your man and still kick 3

 

[Kciza]

Still plays for frees a little too often for my liking, but is a guy who manages to impact the scoreboard even when he's struggling.

I wouldn't mind occasionally seeing him move a little further up field at times when he's struggling to get into the game. He had one possession outside of the forward 50. He's got a big tank, let him take some lead up marks a bit higher. I know he's the bloke you want to be targetting going into forward but Zurhaar, Duursma and Ford can all take a grab and we're trying to lower the eyes going into 50 anyway.

You are an A+ grade forward kicking 3 on Taylor with those kind of entries.

[SammyRoo]

Was off his game a bit ( plus a good opponent) but never gives up

 

[roomagic1984]

Would have kicked 8 if he got frees like everyone else seems to get

He kicked 2 of his 3 goals from free kicks. Gets looked after better than most.

 

[Joshen]

He needs to 1) get stronger in the aerial contest, 2) lead more, and / or 3) we need to lower our eyes kicking into 50.

Preferably all three.

Testament to his ability that he managed 3 but he was well beaten.

 

[Chadwiko]

Agree with all the sentiment in the last few posts.

Did very well to end up with 3 goals against elite defenders.

Still gets pushed out of contests a little too easily, and plays for frees a bit too much.

But I won't be judging him too harshly on yesterday's performance.

 

[Only Forwards]

He would look so much better with a proper second key tall.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Get some strength to hold your ground mate.

Kicked three, but too easily beaten on numerous occasions which allowed quick rebound.

Needs to do Yoga/surfing/rock climbing and other core strength building work imo.

Lets bring Sellers in to assist him.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Looks for contact too much on his opponent at times, needs to focus on the ball and forget his opponent.
Would like to see him run and jump at it a bit more too

You know he's never been a runner and a jumper, don't you

Is this not the Logan McDonald effect?
Kicks plenty from free kicks and out the back goals
