Nick Larkey

One of the best key forwards in the game, one shudders to think how big his impact would have been had he not spent his career to date in a historically underperforming team. Has taken his game to another level in the past two years, kicking almost half (117) of his 237 career goals. The fact he booted 71 majors in 2023 with the second-bottom team and earned All-Australian honours speaks to his quality.

Honours

North Melbourne Co-Vice Captain (2025), Harold Henderson Best Clubman Award (2025), All-Australian (2023), Syd Barker Medal Runner-Up (2023), Glenn Archer Shinboner of the Year (2023), North Melbourne Vice-Captain (2024), North Melbourne Leading Goalkicker (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025), VFL Frosty Miller Medal Winner (2018).
