AFL Player 42: Jayden Nguyen - He tackles so we extended his contract.

He manages to get under the opposition's skin pretty well.
Every time he was heading back into position he was telling Higgins something.

Love to know what he says.

 

[SydneyBomber]

I wonder why all his opponents are going after him?

He's a gun, love him and good to finally have a bit more cheek and mongrel back in the team after so many years of 'pleasant' vanilla types

We have missed players like this out on the field the past decade or so.

Love that he is doing it.

 

[Zach Package]

Good for him to play on a variety of different styles of opponent, Stengle and Papley go up to the footy and Higgins is a cheating little front running shit that gets the majority of his ball gambling on turnover out the back.

 

[jannissary]

disappointingly seeing plenty of racism from flogs online directed towards hm. disgusting, despicable stuff

 

[Nifft]

Really like the way he plays. At one stage he spoiled Higgins near goal, but he did it in such a way that he crashed into Higgins' side and brought him to ground without giving away the free. Higgins was pissed about it and it bought a smile to my face.

Nguyen extends to 2026

Angry ant season

 

[Beerfish]

Good stuff.

 

[ghostdog]

Not unhappy with this. Would like to see him develop the attacking side of his game.

 

[Vindicater]

Good. Shown more than enough to get another season as a cat B rookie. Was this his first or second season on the list?

Quick edit. Just saw is only for his second year on the cat B list so we can keep him there for another after that as well. Happy days.

If he’s saying it in Viet he can avoid a few 5 game suspensions.

He actually should sledge the shit out of them in Vietnamese. That would really annoy some.

You could say the most harmless shit too

I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration he has been to so many kids in the Vietnamese community. There’s been a lot more interest in AFL in Footscray recently than there used to be

Bit of a smoky for the captaincy imo

He's probably my favorite player on the list, even with the shiny new toys.

Tough, uncompromising, disciplined, think we're likely hitting a winner here.

May not ever be a star but can see a world where he plays 150 AFL games as what he does well is very, very good.

He get's under people's skin, I like this. I'd like to see him develop his run and carry game. He is quick, just needs to make it work.

 

[Vindicater]

Has the grit we need.

And is far more athletic than I thought.
