Stats
Bio
Hailing from the western Victorian town of Sandford, Edgar Jones was a mid-sized recruit who earned a brief trial with North Melbourne during the 1928 VFL season. Standing 179cm, he broke into the senior lineup for the Round 2 clash against Hawthorn at Arden Street, enjoying a memorable debut as the home side secured a hard-fought 15-point victory. Jones retained his place for one subsequent match but was unable to cement a permanent spot in Charlie Tyson's side, eventually losing his position as the club shuffled its list. His league career concluded after just those two appearances, leaving him with a balanced 1–1 record before he returned to life in country Victoria.
