Debuting the year Checker Hughes took over as coach, Jones rapidly made himself a first team fixture. In a disappointing 1933 season, Jones played 14 games and won the Best First Year Player award.

Three times voted "Best Utility Player", he lined up on a half-forward flank in the 1939 Grand Final and booted three goals. He missed the 1940 premiership after taking over as coach of Terang, but returned the next year and played another season before finishing his VFL career by transferring to Brighton (external link) before enlisting in the RAAF in 1941.
