I’m super excited & proud of this young man having defied adversity and challenges that would make most of us quiver. Son you’re a shining example not only for your community but to your family & the rest of us 🇦🇺👍
Got better as the game went on. Loved what I've seen in the VFL. Still so early in his journey - can't wait to see how good he can be with further development, oh and a little more weight wouldn't hurt either 😂
What a story, grateful that Tew & the family got to Australia and now building a new life here. This emphasizes how critical opportunities for safer & stable life for refugees. Well done.
2007 i was transiting to Dubai through Joburg airport. There was a massive group of South Sudanese and possibly other African families lining up to board a Quantas jet. As I've got intetests in both South Sudan and Australia, I asked a guy in the queue what was happening. He told me they were "refugees from South Sudan, coming from an UNHCR camp and flying to Australia". Seeing this now warms my heart and blows my mind. I've always argued hard that Australia should ONLY allow refugees coming through legitimate channels, and not 'queue jumpers' - and i've lost friends for that stance. I'm not saying it was this family, this flight - that would require research. But this is evidence that supports my stance. A stance maintained by the last 2 governments despite continued howling by some. A fair go, done right. Every success young man. God bless your family, and go the Magpies.
As you know Tew, life can be tough. You've taken a big step and we all understand how proud you are. It's not over yet, mate. A little bad luck here or there and it could all go upside down. Keep at it and keep on expressing yourself on the field - let yourself go free. When you see something needs to be done, don't be shy, get in there and make it happen. A good young man with good people around you. Very best wishes and I hope it all goes well for you.
It's great that Tew Jiath was able to be drafted, play his first game, also in a great comeback win too. I was there at the game as well. Also more importantly, a great story from where he came from to where he's here now. Go Pies
Can be a great player but not quite ready. Has the talent and athleticism.He needs to bulk up with the body with about 10+kg as he will need the bigger body to match the bigger forwards if he is gonna make it in the sport at AFL level. I also dont understand how and why Nth were celebrating 25yrs from winning a flag. I didnt know premierships were won in June.
It's funny how you use the NBA and not the NFL. Because basketball and soccer are international and American Football is like Australian Football. But basketball was invented to be an indoor practice activity for American Football players. But you are entitled to have an opinion on what is the highest level of a sport. 😂
@@berranari1 it's more about talent pool, so gridiron is more elite than AFL but nowhere near basketball or football. Don't cry that our game is tiny, just enjoy it for what it is.
What a beautiful family and moment for Tew. Well done
This guy is going to be a star he plays like a ruck man the way he jumps❤❤
What a lovely story. All the best TJ and your family. Welcome to the Magpies.

Good story but playing AFL is not playing sport at the highest level. It's not the NBA or EPL.
It's funny how you use the NBA and not the NFL.
