Every successful movement can be traced back to 1 key moment and for the Vietnam Swans local development it was clearly the day that Vinh came across from a frisbee game and asked to join our off-season AFL 9s tournament. Vinh, a passionate athlete took to the new sport like a duck to water and became the successful example we needed to build the foundations of a program that to this day underpins the club’s success today and into the future.

Vinh has developed into a key member of the Swans on the field but also helped to create an environment that new Vietnamese players can easily join and enjoy. He has also contributed at committee level and continues to mentor younger Swans as they discover AFL.

It’s fitting that Vinh was inducted in 2022 given this year he will leave Vietnam later in the year but will always be a crucial part of the Swans local development achievements!
