You are a Slav though?
You will always have a few fringe views that are designed for pure shock value, like @ivan 's on a forum like this.
But leaving wild takes like that aside, I think most reasonable observers are seeing some good signs with this kid even in these early career outings.

Larkey was like pick 70 something in 2016

I always thought Larkey was F/S selection for some reason, you’re right.

The Rattlers have done ok with late round KPFs. Well Larkey is better than ok, he’s the best key forward in the game currently imo.
Well he has certainly has at least one strong leg as that second goal from outside 50 was a ball burster. Massive kick. Can’t vouch for any of his other bits though.

Agreed. May has the look of a rapidly developing genuine full forward about him already. He gets involved continually, can forward ruck if need be, is a great size and build, has an aggressive demeanor about him, flies for marks, has a good tank, kicks like a mule from a long way out and kicks straight! I think I saw he and Caddy going for the same mark once or twice, but they’ll iron those glitches out eventually. He’s looking like a really astute pick up.

Didn’t see May tear it up as I was camping and out of range.
May is a keeper, developing nicely, almost un-essendon…
Wait till his tank gets bigger.

Carried the distance more comfortably than wright. Think it went over the fence.

His second and third efforts when the ball comes to ground are very impressive. He’s desperate to compete and that’s half the battle.

Hawkins vibes, without the cross-eyed inbreeding.
Keep.

Great to see him do well.
He’s got his chance the hard way.
He’s obviously pretty resilient. I mean, when your mum brings the new fella home and it’s Dermott you clearly learn to deal with life’s challenges.

Can’t see him ever being suspended.
If Dermott rocked up at my mum’s there’d be a homicide.

Kobe is playing as a midfielder.
Just because Darren played predominantly as a small forward, does not mean Kobe will also

Okay so what happens end of next year? We know the kid and Dermie want him to go to Collingwood. Is he going to be a free agent next year?
Simple. We make him an offer he can’t refuse.

Must keep him away from our development coaches and our High Performance Team.

He seems to be a good prospect. A good size and a good attitude.
He had a purple patch last weekend that lasted 10 minutes. Though, his stats are comparable with 2MP, I’m gonna put it out there that he didn’t do much otherwise.
From what I have seen this year I would like him to be extended to the next season and see what an AFL preseason does for him.
