AFL: The Midweek Tackle team runs through the top AFL midseason draft prospects and who clubs are looking to take.

On a night Caleb Serong was being toasted for joining an elite group at Fremantle, the Dockers’ midfielder was lamenting an opportunity that had gone begging .

“It is tough to watch. I haven’t watched a full game yet. I get a little frustrated and want to turn it off,” he said following the awards ceremony at Crown in Perth. “It is going to challenge us and we are really looking forward to it. We feel like we want to be able to rise to these challenges and these are the teams we want to play, these are the moments we want to experience, a Friday night against the best team in the comp.

The 23-year-old currently sits on the fourth line of betting behind Isaac Heeney, the outstanding Swan he will cross paths with tonight, Zach Merrett and Patrick Cripps. In an interview with foxsports.com.au after the Dockers trounced Richmond in a rare outing at the MCG last Sunday, Serong said “we relish these opportunities and don’t take it for granted”.

“It gives you a little bit of confidence in terms of your processes, that they are going well. That is good feedback for me, to know that I am heading in the right direction,” he said. “Sometimes all it takes is just getting it off your chest and verbalising it and defusing what’s in your mind. He leads the competition in terms of disposals this year, with his average of 33 possessions a match an increase of three per game from his outstanding 2023.

“Andy , Young, Fyfey, we are looking at each other and just driving each other every step of the way, which is what you are seeing at the moment.
