De Koning posted 75 away in Darwin as STK went down by 29 — technically above his 53 BE but utterly unremarkable for a ruck averaging 81 who has shed $35k since R5. Cash gen is -$6,683 per round and the ruck split with Marshall at St Kilda has capped his ceiling all season. The R8 "revenge game" bounce to 88 did not hold. Sell him now while there is still meaningful money to recover — the structural problems are not going away and the price will keep sliding.
