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

[ferball]

Oh it’s a very popular opinion. The only person I’ve seen arguing otherwise is nostrils. I can see how it seems unpopular though as nostrils posts about it a thousand times per thread

He's not the only one who doesn't rate Pink. Personally I'm yet to be convinced - but he is improving every game. Its a massive step up from the SANFL and he seems to be developing the extra pace, mental speed and fitness that he'll need to play a role.

Personally I'm yet to be convinced

Don’t get me wrong ferbs, I am far from convinced, but he’s doing enough right now and helping to make our forward line look semi functional. Baby steps!

You can't argue with the improvement he's making, both to the side structurally and in his own individual performance.

 

[koshari]

The Eagles being shit probably helped.

Saints were shit yet didnt concede 10 goals

He's definitely made a difference but a few days later I'm looking at the weekend thinking how would we have gone against a functional side.

The guy seems pretty universally liked.

Sit 19th for North's goal kickers. Will move into top 10 65 more goals. Sometime next year you'd think.

Where do we think he'll finish up? If he plays ~250 games probably a top 3 finish???

Look at those behinds compared to others too.

As we improve he'll benefit too!!

I said to a mate, last year, that I thought he’d go ahead of Longmire on our list, but it was quite dependent on how long it took us to improve as a unit.
I know he dominated last season in a crap side, but over the journey, that type of form is hard to sustain unless there’s improvement in the side as a whole.
250 games? I think, when you look at his build and the fact he doesn’t seem to cop too many injuries, he’ll go closer to 300 and if he maintains that accuracy, he should motor into 2nd spot by careers end.

If nostrils posts it 9 times out of 10 it's just flat out wrong.

he's one of the worst players ive ever seen when he was in defence but to be fair at least he's creating a contest when forward and is helping structurally

that's a pretty ****ing low bar though and the sooner we can replace him with someone who can actually take contested marks and hit the scoreboard, the better

Came into this thread to say the same thing.

Of the current playing group, he’d be top 3 that I’d love to have a beer with.

Humble, respectful, articulate and funny. And a great shot for goal.

His James Brayshaw “Photo Face” mimic was so funny on the Youtube cast !

Always thought JB looked like a startled cat in photos!

 

[marklovesbeer]

Harry?

He doesn’t drink.
Said something along the lines of had one or two on Mad Monday just to be social, but doesn’t care for it.

I think Logue, Finbar, Arch, Paul Curtis, Lukey Mc & Powelly would all be good for a beer too.
But I actually think I should change my third spot to Eddie Ford.

Amazing start. Then well held after quarter time.
Surprised we managed to continue to score with Nick held.

[justroyal]

Johnson is a ****wit

 

[ferball]

I'll say this for Corneholio. He's quick to sniff the wind and shift his position.

 

[3051]

Cornes giving us flowers recently - what is going on?

As North improves, and Larkey kicking 9 over the past fortnight, Johnson really thinks Larkey might only have 12 to 17 goals in him in the next 10? Johnson basically says Larkey is a top 5 forward in the league, but either he made his last point too strongly or is pretty poor at basic math.

As much as we hate him he's not that stupid. He can see what's building and he wants to be the first to call it in the media.

 

[amaz199]

Cornes is 100% getting ahead of the pack. Larkey is set for a big second half of the season.

Back to his absolute best is Larkey.

as much as i love him, he's absolutely not better than Charlie Curnow

. There's a definite case to be made that he's top 3 though.

Curnow is incredibly athletic and can nail contested marks.

Kane saying some nice things about us makes me uncomfortable.
