One of the AFL’s brightest prospects and the rising star of the Geelong defensive unit, De Koning will once again be the Cat's anchor on the last line of defence with his intercept and contested marking prowess. Set to reach his 50 game milestone early in 2024, De Koning will benefit from a more consistent Geelong lineup in 2024 after being thrown into the ruck at times last year. Took some big hits at the start of the season, but continued to impress in 2023 as he quickly approaches the top echelon of defenders right across the competition.
