The 21-year-old is averaging 26 disposals, six tackles, four inside 50s and five clearances in 11 games this season.
Only Brayshaw and Brodie average more disposals than Serong, a remarkable effort considering he’s just 47 games into his career.
Three-time Essendon premiership player Watson said Serong was the midfielder that “just doesn’t get the credit that he deserves for the way that he plays.”
“He’s as clean as any midfield player that is going around, he’s as smart as any midfield player going around and he plays inside and outside,” Watson told SEN.
“He’s a complete player in my opinion.
“I think he is because people talk about Brayshaw and then they say, ‘oh yeah, then there’s Serong as well’.
“We talk about the best midfielders in the competition and we don’t talk about him. He’s up there in the conversation around effectiveness around the ball.”
Serong said he felt like he was getting better as the season hits the midway point.
“I think as the seasons gone on I’ve felt more comfortable and been able to get into the games a bit more,” Serong told SportFM.
“I’m really enjoying playing with this midfield at the moment. I think each week, obviously with Fyfey coming in at the weekend added another dimension to it that’s really enjoyable and we’re only going to get better from that.

Serong confirmed Fyfe told Brayshaw and himself to tell the dual Brownlow medallist where to go during their win over Hawthorn on Saturday.
“He just wanted to slide in, let us tell him where to go and obviously as he keeps playing more, he’ll be running the show again,” Serong said.
“Until he feels comfortable I think he’s happy for us to continue to take charge of things like that and it helped Andy and I specifically step up and take more of a leadership role.”
