Chayce Jones

Selected by Adelaide with pick 9 in the 2018 National Draft, Chayce Jones arrived from Launceston as a highly touted prospect known for his elite endurance and athleticism. His early career at West Lakes was defined by a struggle to find a permanent position, bouncing between small forward and midfield roles before eventually finding continuity as a rebounding defender and wingman. Jones plays with a distinct focus on straight-line speed and courage, frequently backing into packs to support the defence, though he has worked significantly to refine his disposal efficiency at the elite level. Now established as a hard-running link player rather than a headline star, he sits on the verge of the 100-game milestone, having overcome a significant Lisfranc injury in 2023 to remain a staple of the Crows' transition game through 2026.
