Man I love seeing a middle class family, who clearly have been offered a big house etc from Mr Mailata, but who are more than happy in their regular sized home and just love their family. So wholesome

[@Deontelewis846]

Nah facts cause we know Jordan got it but his family so authentic. They didn’t need it. So why give it. Beautiful family man.

[@joshlittke9305]

@@Deontelewis846 actually though, just an incredibly loving and supportive family. It’s truly beautiful to see 🥰

[@kwoylee5617]

The average house price in Bankstown is $1.3 million dollars and this looks closer to $2m. Real estate prices in Australia are INSANE - especially in Sydney. So why it might look like a modest house, I have no doubt that Jordan is sharing the wealth with his family.

[@Harry-rl3cv]

To be honest middle class is selling his achievement short. His area of Sydney has been the murder capital of Sydney for over a decade. What he has achieved is mind blowing

as Vietnamese American from Philly seeing Jordan eating Banh Mi bring so much joy to my heart, more blessing to Jordan Mailata and go birds!!

[@brettn4337]

Us Aussies love a good Banh Mi. A couple of suburbs from where Jordan's family live is a big Vietnamese population.

[@christianrodm]

bahn mi is a staple in australia these days. its probably more common than a meat pie at this point.

The banter between Jordan and Millo from 3:16 is hilarious. Makes me miss my brother.

Been rooting for this guy ever since he was selected in the 7th round. All Aussies should be damn proud of Jordan, I know Philly sure is. Go Birds🦅

[@Dr_KAP]

Just don’t ever say rooting to an Aussie 😂😂😂 different meaning altogether here ..

[@thebalmaintigers]

I like how he is proud of both cultures. Australian and Samoan. In Australia too many people say I'm from this country or that country but don't show respect to the country they were born in e.g. Australia or moved to that gave them a better life. This is a great example of assimilation. Now i want to learn more about the Samoan culture.

[@Dr_KAP]

He was born and raised in Australia but family cultural background Samoan

[@brianandrea3249]

Lamington, coffee, Bahn Mi, Man'oushe…..Aussie AF!! Loved this Jordan Mailata. You represent our country, Samoa, and Bankstown superbly!

[@chonnieblue]

As someone who was born and bred in Bankstown, it was a wonderful cultural melting pot and an fabulous opportunity to meet and appreciate people from all over the world. Love your homecoming! Beautiful.

[@richgumpert5190]

This man is a special human being. A football savant who picked up the game in a short couple years to become one of the best tackles in the league. An extremely talented singer. A down to earth humble guy who has no reason whatsoever to be humble with how talented he is. We are lucky to have him in Philly

[@Shel230]

He' is not thr best tackle in the leauge

@@Shel230We know that captain obvious!!!

[@user-pb8vc8vp8w]

​@@Shel230 Dare you to stand in front of him & say that.......🐔🐓

[@denniswood55]

I think for the simple fact that Jordan didn’t know a thing about American football, gets drafted in the 7th round and has become a top ten LT in the league. It goes to show his hard work and determination. Philly loves that and that’s why he fits in so well here. GO BIRDS!!

[@DaFonz808]

If you have the size then it’s definitely possible.

[@Shel230]

He is not the best lt in the leauge or top ten wtf

[@izzy031096]

Rugby background, lots of the skills and attributes are transferrable. He was a particular case where he had the explosion (more than most players), but not the endurance for rugby league. The NFL suits him perfectly.

[@Idk_tbh20]

Watching Jordan take down the chocolate coconut cake in one bite while the other dude was struggling to talk with 1/4 bite in his mouth was hilarious!!! I fucking love the guys on this team! Jordan Mailata is such an amazing fit for the Eagles yet he grew up LITERALLY on the other side of the world!!! And the fact that he brought his friend, who was the camera guy that he met on day one, just shows the character this guy has. He is truly a special player, but more importantly, a special person!

[@jamestobin3993]

Been here from the start, embraces the fans, loves the team, worked his ass off to eventually become a starter, gets paid handsomely, and now a leader and captain for this team. How can you not love em?
