Sam De Koning
A mixed season in 2024 for the young star who battled a late season knee injury and could not force his way back into Geelong’s line-up for either final. Spent more time playing in the ruck, covering for some of the Cats’ injured ruck stocks, and acquitted himself quite well for a stretch. Also had some stints up forward, which showcased his versatility, but has played his best football down back, where his intercept marking is a feature of his game. Out of contract this year.
Honours
Premiership (2022 Premiership Player), Geelong Cats - Best Young Player Award (2022), 22under22 Team (2022, 2023).
