Caleb Serong is one half of one of the more prolific inside midfield tandems in the league, having reached A-grade status alongside Andrew Brayshaw. Serong has more skill and grit with several goal of the year contenders and an emphasis on tackling, while AB is an accumulator and instigator rather than finisher. Both of them are susceptible to a tag, and they both had attention last week at times in the close loss to Geelong, who can run two taggers. Not many other teams can or want to, leaving Serong mostly free to be a valuable fantasy asset.

Caleb Serong is in his third season and has been slowly building his fantasy production as he comes into his powers, with two impressive tons across the past fortnight. Those who don't have a full premium's worth of cash on hand in salary cap competitions might be looking longingly as his recent work and wondering how long he can hold that kind of form. If anyone it going to be tagged at Fremantle it is Andrew Brayshaw, while the usually low TOG of Will Brodie leaves Serong on field for longer periods. Maybe he can be a mid-season stepping stone?
Serong wears big boy pants
Touted as a top prospect throughout his junior career splitting time between midfield and attack, Serong laid the second most tackles at the Championships and was first for metres gained. He was fierce throughout the season for Gippsland Power, winning the fifth most contested possessions in the NAB League. Serong is likely to be blooded early as Freo coach Justin Longmuir continues to seek avenues to goal. A classy user and ball magnet throughout his junior days, translation to the primary competition will be interesting. He is likely at least twelve months away from relevance for our draft fantasy sides.
