AFL clubs: Carlton
Carlton debut: Round 22, 2018
Recruited from: Dandenong Stingrays (VIC)
Brownlow Medal votes: -

Tom De Koning has proved himself to be a natural ruckman over his career so far, which began when he debuted in Round 22 of the 2018 season.

Boasting a powerful jump, De Koning showcased his aerial presence with four Mark of the Year nominations in 2022. 

Having played only 41 games, De Koning has shouldered the ruck load for key portions of the 2021 and 2022 seasons, fast-tracking his development against the competition’s best rucks. 

The 23-year-old continues to show plenty of promise under the tutelage of ruck coach – and former teammate - Matthew Kreuzer.
