The 1.76 m (5 ft 9+1⁄2 in) Jones played for the Collingwood reserves in the mid-1990s, but they were afraid to recruit him due to him weighing just 64 kilograms.
[1] Jones played in 22 of 22 matches in the 1997 home-and-away rounds in which St Kilda qualified in first position for the 1997 AFL finals, winning the club's second minor premiership.
[2] St Kilda would make it to the 1997 AFL Grand Final but would lose to Adelaide by 31 points, their first of two successive premierships, although Jones kicked a goal and was among his side's best players.
Despite hinting at his retirement previously, it was a huge shock when Jones called it quits from the game with one year to run on his contract, having just turned 29.
Narre Warren, under the guidance of Aussie Jones in his last game as player-coach, secured the second of two back-to-back premierships on 22 September 2007.
