Serong brothers to clash in AFL preliminary final with family divided
Brothers Caleb and Jai Serong will play each other in Friday's AFL preliminary final.
Caleb will be recognised for his 150th game for the Dockers on Friday night at the SCG. Caleb and Jai have played each other twice before at AFL level, but never with such high stakes.
Their mother Tania will sit with Fremantle, while their father Jamie will be on the field with Sydney's guard of honour. The brothers have downplayed the occasion.
Almost 20 family members will attend.
