Larkey scored seven goals and one behind to go with 20 disposals (12 kicks, eight handballs) in addition to making eight marks during Saturday's 116-77 win over Carlton in Round 19.
ANALYSIS
It was hard to tell if Larkey was unstoppable in this game or if the Blues played that badly on defense, though a combination of both gave Larkey one of the feature performances of the season. Now that he has 19 goals scored over his last six games, Larkey's fully proven that he knows what to do in front of goal, though his price may jump after Saturday's performance.

Returning to starting lineup
Larkey (rest) is back in the starting lineup for the Kangaroos' Melbourne Derby with the Demons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With just five days in between games, Larkey received the day off in Wednesday's tilt with Geelong after taking a hit to his ankle in the team's previous match.

Out for management purposes
Larkey will not play Wednesday against Geelong on Wednesday to manage his health during the upcoming stretch of games.

On a positive note, there was no mention of the ankle injury he suffered during the previous game behind his absence from Wednesday's tilt. Assuming management is indeed the reason behind his absence, Larkey could be back in the fold for Sunday's match versus Melbourne.

Hurts ankle in win
Larkey took a knock to his ankle during the fourth quarter of the Kangaroos' 119-50 win over the Crows on Friday and had to leave the match early.
ANALYSIS
Larkey was able to score two goals before departing the contest and his head coach Rhyce Shaw does believe that he will be okay for the team's next match against Geelong on Aug. 5. Larkey, however, will have to go through the proper protocols to make sure he is fit to play before he heads back on to the pitch.
