The Double De Koning play?



Recommended Posts

It is not secret that the Demons are in near-future need of a ruckman and a defender as successors to Gawn and May.

I present to you the brothers De Koning;

Tom De Koning, Ruck, 201cm, 102kg, 24yrs, restricted free agent out of contract in 2025.

Sam De Koning, Defender, 204cm, 97kg, 22yrs, out of contract in 2025.

Carlton would be hard pressed for salary cap space by 2025 and Geelong will just be hard pressed.

Am I crazy or could this be the big sentimental play that reopens our premiership window from 2026 on?

That’s $2M bucks right there at least.

The impending hole in our list is also an impending space in our salary cap - why not fill one hole with the other? (aside from being a terrible analogy from a physics perspective). Unless both De Konings seriously boom they would each be a bit cheaper than Gawn and May, respectively.

Another way of seeing it is as the final balancing of the ledger for losing Jackson.

Anything is possible if you want it enough. But we would have to give up a fair bit in exchange. 
if North have a bad year in ‘24 i would be right into Larkey, getting the 2 brothers maybe too hard. 
But it is a very interesting Poker Play….

How’s the old boy in the background wearing a suit, shirt and tie but then has sexy little shorts on. 
Man.. AI is so overrated and overhyped.

I wonder what happens if you give AI the prompt '15 minutes of my life I won't get back'?

Wait... I got it; you get the 'loading circle' going around. That's it. That's the image. Time lost = 100 minus IQ.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
