Stats
Bio
A mature-age recruit from Port Melbourne Juniors, Charlie Jones had to wait until he was 25 to make his VFL debut, finally breaking into a powerful South Melbourne side in Round 1, 1914. Standing 178cm, he was a mid-sized utility who made a promising start by kicking a goal in his first appearance, but he found regular senior opportunities scarce in a lineup destined for that year's Grand Final. Jones managed just four games in his debut season, operating primarily as a depth player who provided cover for the team's established stars. He added three more appearances early in the 1915 season before his brief tenure at Lake Oval concluded, leaving him as a serviceable local footballer who struggled to cement a permanent spot in a premiership-contending squad.
