Bio
Selected with pick 73 in the 2016 National Draft, Nick Larkey arrived at North Melbourne as a speculative late selection who required significant time to develop his frame and craft. The Oakleigh Chargers product spent his early seasons oscillating between the VFL and the senior side, initially serving as an understudy to established spearheads like Ben Brown and Jarrad Waite. It was not until the departure of Brown following the 2020 season that Larkey truly assumed the mantle as the focal point of the Kangaroos' attack, seizing the opportunity to become one of the most reliable set shots in the competition.
A traditional lead-up forward with exceptional hands and a calm routine in front of goal, Larkey has thrived despite often playing in a forward line starved of quality delivery during North Melbourne's prolonged rebuild. His ability to convert half-chances and compete against multiple defenders saw him earn maiden All-Australian honours in 2023, a rare feat for a key forward in a bottom-placed side. Now a member of the club's leadership group and contracted long-term, he stands as a vital pillar in the Kangaroos' spine and a mentor to the club's emerging forward talent.
