Serong had also been pursued by Fremantle and North Melbourne, but settled on the Swans as his preferred destination.<\/p>\n
TRADE HUB All the latest player movement news<\/a><\/p>\n The 22-year-old didn’t play a senior game this season, but averaged 21.4 disposals and 7.3 marks per game playing as a third tall defender and wing option in the VFL where he won Box Hill’s best and fairest and was named in the VFL Team of the Year.<\/p>\n The younger brother of Fremantle star Caleb, Serong has played 10 senior games over four seasons on Hawthorn’s list after arriving as the No.53 pick in the 2021 draft, but wasn’t seen at senior level since playing in a semi-final last year.<\/p>\n A tiny detail – Both of these picks were their own. Sydney still holds a 2026 third-round pick, courtesy of Carlton and the Ollie Florent trade. Hawthorn still holds a 2026 fourth-round pick, courtesy of Melbourne and the Changkuoth Jiath deal. @AFLcomau<\/a> @traderadio<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/WjITUOmUJx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Riley Beveridge (@RileyBev) October 15, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n The 192cm player has never managed more than five senior games in a single season.<\/p>\n More to come<\/p>\n
