Serafini started out as a full forward but in his second season was moved into defence and soon cemented the fullback spot. He later played some football as a half back flanker and was Fitzroy's top vote getter in the 1983 Brownlow Medal count. A three time Victorian representative, Serafini remained involved in football after injuries caused his premature retirement and when his old club merged with the Bears he became a director at the Brisbane Lions.
