Lin Jong height - How tall is Lin Jong?

In 2016, Jong cracked his collarbone in the Western Bulldogs' elimination final victory over West Coast. Despite this injury, Jong earned a Norm Goss Memorial Medal seventeen days later by putting in a best-on-ground effort for his club's reserves team in its victory over the Casey Scorpions in the 2016 VFL Grand Final. In a successful ploy to avoid contact with his injury, Jong took inspiration from Footscray legend Charlie Sutton by taping the opposite shoulder.

On 7 October 2016, after being linked with Collingwood and Gold Coast in preceding weeks, Jong re-signed with the Western Bulldogs on a two-year deal.

In 2014, Jong was promoted to the senior list and also signed to a new contract, tying him to the club until the end of 2016.

Jong made his debut in round 20, 2012, against Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
