Fantasy Impact: Tom De Koning averaged 60.5pts from 13 games in 2021, he scored a season high 91pts in Round 17 against Geelong.
The setback isn’t ideal heading into the season despite being only minor surgery, let’s hope he returns to full health as quickly as possible.
It is worth tracking his availability prior to the start of the season.
