I'm more and more liking De Konning. Not many play key forward and ruck both well but he seems to be able to do that thus far. Paul Salmon, Corey McKernan and even David Hale types are such a bonus. Hope he turns out somewhere even remotely close to those players, especially the first two once he develops more physically. He might get tried late in the year for a bit of experience if he keeps going.
"Tom De Koning
Stats: 10 disposals, 4 marks, 2 goals
From the coach: Tom kicked 2.1 including a couple of strong marks in the air. As a young tall, he’s developing his leading patterns as a key forward really well, and his second efforts at ground level were really impressive. We liked his game on the weekend, particularly his first half."
