Anthony Jones (born 19 December 1974) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Fremantle Dockers between 1995 and 2003. Anthony currently plays and captains Claremont. He was drafted from Claremont in the WAFL as a foundation selection in the 1994 AFL draft and played mainly as a key defender.
Career
Fremantle Dockers
Jones, or AJ as he is commonly called, played only 82 games over nine AFL seasons, missing many games to injuries to his knee, foot, hamstring, rib and shoulder as well as a punctured lung. A stress fracture of the right foot resulted in him being sidelined for the entire 1999 season and in an unusual injury for a footballer, a ruptured tendon in his chest caused him to miss the second half of the 2002 season.
Claremont Tigers
After being delisted by Fremantle at the end of the 2003 season, Jones continued to play for Claremont where he has switched to the forward line with great success. He has finished in the top 4 of the Claremont Best and Fairest award in each year since then and in 2006 was named the captain of the state team that played South Australia.
In 2007, he became the oldest person to ever win the Sandover Medal, narrowly beating Subiaco's Brad Smith. [Townsend, John & Reid, Russell (2007). "Medallist Jones bobs up when it matters" The West Australian, 2007-09-18. p.59]
He has played 126 games for Claremont and skippered the club in 2008. [Bouncedown (2008). 'Official Guide to the 2008 Season', p.28]
