Bob Jones (Australian footballer)


Bob Jones is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League.
Jones, an Indigenous Australian, grew up in Darwin, but came to St Kilda from Tasmanian club Devonport, at pick 44 of the 1987 National Draft. Already 26 when he made his debut for St Kilda in the 1988 VFL season, his 19 games that year were spent as a ruckman and in defence. He suffered a season ending knee injury in the opening round of the 1989 season, against the Brisbane Bears at Moorabbin Oval. It would be his final appearance for St Kilda.
His son, Liam Jones, played for the Western Bulldogs and now plays for Carlton.
