Doig Medal 2024: Aiming for Consecutive Wins
Caleb Serong Leads Doig Medal 2024 Contenders
Caleb Serong is poised to write himself into Fremantle Dockers folklore as the favorite for the Doig Medal 2024. The midfielder aims to become the first player since Nat Fyfe to win consecutive medals; Fyfe achieved this in 2014 and 2015.
Promising Season for Serong
Last season, Serong polled an impressive 222 votes to win the award, leading by 43 votes over teammate Andrew Brayshaw. With a remarkable improvement in 2024, scoring nearly three times as many goals and achieving 56 more clearances than his teammates, he has positioned himself as a strong contender. His excellence was further recognized by the All-Australian selectors.
Contenders for the Award
- Luke Ryan – Previously won the Doig Medal in 2020.
- Hayden Young – Emerged as a full-time midfielder with key contributions.
- Andrew Brayshaw – The 2022 Doig Medalist is also a strong candidate.
- Jordan Clark – Known for his defensive prowess and a career-high 568 disposals.
The Fremantle Dockers' season brought both excitement and disappointment, having suffered injuries late in the season and missing the finals despite a strong start.
