Sam De Koning

Alex Dodson will be "looking to take a step up" with Rowan Marshall gone to Geelong. Lenny Hayes said Marshall was "keen to hold down that number 1 ruck mantle" at St Kilda rather than share with Tom De Koning. Geelong "didn't want to part with" Sam De Koning, Hayes said.

Gryan Miers stays at Geelong. List boss Andrew Mackie said the Cats didn't shut down West Coast's interest at once, out of respect to Miers; Essendon talk "didn't even get to that stage". Another club asked about Sam De Koning: "he's too good to not be in our team."
