ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict

— HOLD

De Koning posted 48 in Geelong's 54-point demolition of Collingwood — blowout context explains the muted score and it barely touches his 48 BE. The bigger picture is his R10 performance where he looked elite in contested ruck work, described by those watching as genuinely dominant. At $326.4k averaging 66.8, the hold case remains intact. Hold — the blowout score is noise, the pattern is adequacy with upside flashing.

Community Intel· T3

Sam De Koning (SDK) was managed/rested pre-game for R7 interstate trip vs Port, which was criticised when Blicavs went down and no ruck cover remained. Community noted the decision to manage SDK then pull him back hurt the team badly. Expected back R8.
