Speculation Sam de Koning [OOC 2025]

[swuzzlebubble]

Not been selected so far in the Geelong finals campaign.

Could be considering his position.

Would obviously require a "grandfather" offer he can't refuse to get the wheels in motion. And then a case put to Geelong that he's going anyway next year. First round plus F1 on the table.

De Konings reunited? Why the Blues must pounce on this big Cat

If the Blues are to advance from pretenders to true premiership contenders, they must put all their resources towards luring Geelong defender Sam De Koning to Princes Park.

the guy carrying a knee issue for weeks, team is not going to take a punt on a guy underdone. could be wrong, but more chance tom dekoning going to geelong as a FA end of next year than sam dekoning trade to carlton end of this year.

 

[pressurepoint]

Carlton Pick 11 plus Pittonet

Who in there right mind would take Pittonet.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Haha no chance of leaving

A club that does not have their quota of durable mature ruckmen? I.e. Geelong? I might be wrong about their ruck stocks but when we played them this year they were running with SDK in the ruck.

We have our stocks lined up: TDK and O'Keefe, and then SOS, Young and Harry as pinch hitters.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Injured his knee and has been on somewhat managed minutes in the VFL. Obviously we feel he's still hampered by it and couldn't run out a full AFL game.

People seem to be running with "He's been dropped!" or 'He's out of favour!"....we're just not confident of taking an underdone player into finals (see Max Holmes 2022).

 

[Libbaaaa]

Already sold his house in Torquay and just bought a townhouse in West Footscray.

I'm hearing he's on a strict diet of Mission Foods only, and went to Birth Deaths & Marriages to change his name to Sam De Kontompelli

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

I love this time of year.

 

[M Malice]

Have it on good authority that he is off to the Lions in a straight swap for Dev Robertson.

Nah. Dude had knee surgery like a month ago. He is a Rd 1 starter.

For Carlton? Please confirm?

Really? I've heard that if he sees one bloke getting a pat on the back for a job well done, he'll Spew Up.

Team's with weak rucks.

Team's with weak rucks.

The issue for Geelong is going to be that we have Conway, who will be first choice if fit.

Pittonet won't want to go from a team where he has played the majority of the year in the AFL, to one where he will be stuck as the second-stringer.

 

[The Slitherin' Snake]

Gee if Jack Macrae is worth a 3rd rounder, SDK would have to be a 5th or 6th rounder. Doesnt have the same accolades, isnt best 23, has been pushed out of his position by Henry and Blicavs and so on. Geelong need to trade him to free up cap space

/sarcasm

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Nope, FB at the Cats rotating 20% ruck. Nothing more certain. Just a poorly timed injury

Is he happy at Geelong though? Could he request a trade?

Sounds like he's pretty happy

 

[Bald]

Nah. Dude had knee surgery like a month ago. He is a Rd 1 starter.

Is it not a little odd that he's named as an emergency if he's not fit to play?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

He's done limited minutes in vfl. He ok to play if named, but same as Holmes in the 22 GF won't be risked

 

[The 747]

If he requested a trade we might have to bring Mackie back to negotiate.

If Carlton has a beach i think you have got him.

We have no other tall defender or ruck option
