Gach Nyuon Biography

Will Hams and rookie Gach Nyuon are delisted by Essendon.

Gach Nyuon has been hit with a suspended fine by Essendon and forced to attend counselling for breaking club protocol when he was arrested for allegedly making death threats towards an Uber driver.

The club also indicated further punishments could be handed down at the conclusion of the police investigation into the matter.

"The club understands this matter remains the subject of a police investigation and takes the allegations seriously," the Bombers said in a club statement.

"In consultation with the leadership group, the club will determine if any further action is required when this process has been completed."

Gach Nyuon has been interviewed by police and is expected to be charged with a number of offences.

"A 19-year-old Keysborough man has been interviewed by police and is expected to be charged on summons with making threats to kill, criminal damage, resist police and being drunk in a public place," a Victorian Police spokeswoman said.

Gach Nyuon could face a club-imposed sanction after being detained by police on Saturday night for being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

The 19-year-old was allegedly involved in a verbal altercation with an Uber driver on Brunswick Street and was released by police without charge on Sunday morning.

"The club has spoken to Gach, and club management will consult with the leadership group to determine if any further action is required," a statement from Essendon said.

"The club will provide an update when appropriate."

Gach Nyuon is handed a two-game suspension by the VFL tribunal after pleading guilty to a headbutting charge.

The ruckman was sent from the field in the final quarter after being red-carded for headbutting a Coburg opponent.

The incident, which was referred directly to the tribunal, was ruled as intentional, low impact and high contact.

Sudan-born Gach Nyuon has equalled a benchmark set by West Coast star Nic Naitanui, matching his absolute running vertical jumping record on day three of this year's NAB AFL Draft Combine.

Nyuon, named ruck in this year's under-18 All Australian team, jumped 94cm in the relative running vertical jump, which was behind midfielder Lachlan Tiziani (97cm) as the best at the combine.

But his leap matched Naitanui's absolute jumping record of 362cm, which was set in 2008 before the Eagles took the ruckman with pick two in that year's national draft.
