Serong came back from a hamstring scare to post 76 in Sydney's 6-point home win over Collingwood — a legitimate score in a hard-fought contest against finals opposition. He was BOG-level in that match, kicking a crucial goal and showing composure in a tight situation. Cash gen is $8,196/wk and at 18 games his price is still moving up. The hamstring is the only concern; it flared post-R8 and cost him R9, but the return suggests it's managed. Hold — the fitness scare has passed and he's delivering in Sydney's best 22.

Injury Watch· T3

Jai Serong is unavailable for Round 9 vs North Melbourne. Multiple commenters note his absence is arguably a bigger matchup issue than Curnow's given North's small attacking profile. Treated as precautionary.
