Our local paper (Moreland Courier), has an article on Vietnamese-born comedian Hung Le, who lives in Coburg and who has written a book called "Barry Noddles and DaKillaBs". Written for boys b/w 8 and 12, it is about a group of boys who want to become the first Vietnamese to play AFL. Le says in the article that "I want to inspire Vietnamese kids to play for Carlton"

The lead-in to the article on the front page has Le "taking" a mark over Justin Madden, but with the headline "Viet set doomed to lose with Blues"

If it's the same comedian I am thinking of then he is Carlton-mad and i've seen him at the footy a number of times yelling out - "GO SKINNY!!!" 8)

Hate seeing that, but the fact is we are the wooden spooners and should expect to the the whipping boys from the media until we get off the bottom of the ladder.

Good to see at least another Vietnamese backing the Blues.

Good to see that not all Vietnamese back the Tigers or the scum.

Don't blame Le for the headline - the sub-editors make them up without seeking the approval of the scribe, or the interviewee

Wonder how long before we see Sudanese kids playing the game. Think in 20 years we could have 6 foot 9 ruckman who run like Chris Judd and jump like NBA basketballers.
