Sam De Koning reached his 50th AFL game in 2024, spending time both in defence and in the ruck in another solid campaign. 

The 23 year old averaged career high's in disposals, tackles and contested possessions last year, while also having a real impact around stoppages when he was in the middle. 

Unfortunately an injury late in the season meant his last AFL appearance came in round 21, but the emerging star continues to grow and will be one to watch in 2025.
