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.
