I know there is a large Vietnamese community in Sydney, im sure from the streets of Bankstown, Cabramatta and Liverpool- they will come down to support Jayden.

its kind of a monumental occasion for Australian sports. I mean I have heard of NBA players/ NFL players with bits and part heritage of Vietnamese playing over there. There is also a trend in international tennis with players from that origin, names that immediately ring a bell is Brandon Nakishima.

He was obviously given a very specific lock down role because hes been off the leash at VFL level often taking the game on. Seemed it was lock down Paps one, lock down paps two. Im ok with that because it shows his coach ability.

Big positive today

If Nguyen can play lockdown, maybe McGrath can be freed to play further up the ground for a few seasons?

Was impressed by his debut, kid has some fire too!
I think I’d rather McGrath plays a lock down role than anything more advanced
 
Well done Jayden, you played on one of the worlds greatest campaigners today and beat him.

The athleticism with some of his spoils really surprised me.

For a debutant he held his own in pretty much every contest as well, especially in comparison to Clarke/Lual/Johnson getting pushed off the ball at times this year (which is to be expected).
 
The funny about Nguyen stepping over Papley was Dermott Brereton in commentary calling him 'Newey'.

Howie and Dermie talking about his potential tasks next week, possibly Stengle or the Saints Jack Higgins. ;)
 
I would love to see the reaction of the fans, the teammates , the family if he ever kicked a goal at AFL level.

Any idea if he can kick goals?
