Tiger team: Andy Nguyen and girlfriend Elaine Ho, photographed at the GWS game in Sydney that we won by 113 points (we’re taking this as a lucky omen)
| Where born? | Melbourne at the Royal Women’s Hospital. Mum and dad are from Vietnam, in the south. |
| Age: | 26 |
| Where do you live: | Mascot, in Sydney. I’ve been up here a couple of years. I grew up in Hoppers Crossing. |
| How did you come to barrack for Richmond: | In primary school we had a footy day and I didn’t really have a team but I liked the Tigers so I started barracking for them. I think it was grade one or two at St James Primary School in Hoppers Crossing. Most of the other kids were either Carlton or Essendon. |
| Favourite all-time player? | Probably have to be Richo. He used to take those big grabs and kick a bunch of goals. He was great to watch. |
| Favourite current player? | Lids. He’s just got the pace. He burns off other players and kicks goals on the run from outside 50. It’s good to watch him all day. |
| What do you most like about Richmond? | Probably the noise the supporters make. There’s rarely a dull game at the G when the Tiges are playing. When I was down there I used to go to most of the home games. I’ve still been three or four times this year, and to the GWS game up here. All the family’s in Melbourne so when I go down in winter I usually tee up a game as well. |
| Do you have a match-day superstition? | I used to have a pair of boxer shorts I would wear on game days because of the colours, but they’ve fallen apart now. |
| When will we next win a premiership? | It depends how we go on Saturday. If we get over the Swannies, maybe this year. Why not? |
