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

[Event Horizon]

Has been pretty poor since quarter time against Collingwood

It’s all above the shoulders for him

Might be a bit of poor form , may have a small injury too. But I think we are trying to bring him further up the ground a bit during games so we are not so reliant on him to kick our goals. Over time this will help us .

See Larkey just pulled the pin on footy show

What’s the story here? Any vision available ?

See Larkey just pulled the pin on footy show

Can someone elaborate?

 

[Lavy_Panther]

He was supposed to be on for the whole show today, but isn’t on the panel. That’s it.

 

[Gasometer]

I’ll take the recliner.

You will be asleep before Wat Caught My Eye

That’s as far as I watch and then you have to leave

Best move Souva has made in a couple of weeks was ringing in sick for the Footy Show this morning, i'll give him a tick for that at least.

Yeh not sure filling in for Tony Jones and having a good old laugh for 120 mins is wise, considering he’s been invisible this year outside of 5 quarters of footy.

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

I don’t get it. Why was it a good move not going on the footy show?

Dennis was a god no doubt, and I’ll forever grateful for what he did, and his advice around staying away from the media, well the proof is in the pudding.

But if the club had its time again (apart from changing many list decisions in the last 20 years), would it of chucked likeable players in front of cameras or journalists during a stretch where we were at our most marketable. David King is bloody everywhere now, but hardly said boo when he played.

Now I don’t watch crap like Sunday footy show, but I know young kids froth on it and shows like it. Just like we all did when we were young. So to get one of our most recognisable and best players in front of young impressionable eyes (with mates at school saying “why would you go for North, they’re sh*t”), seems a big win.

I think it's just because he hasn't kicked a goal in two weeks. Pretty easy for anyone in the media to take a potshot about priorities - it's not hard to see someone saying something like "spend more time working out how to take a contested mark and less time working on your impressions".

Yeah right. I agree on the potshots call. But the media actually like Larkey. They are amazed at his output given the garbage around him.

The ones that would take the potshots are on this forum.

Are we only allowed 1?

And doesn’t Souv tick all those boxes as well?

sure he does but "the face" is generally singular rather than plural.
