Stats
Bio
Born in Ballarat, Ray Jones was a stocky, 168cm footballer who made a brief cameo for Geelong at the beginning of the 1950 season. Built low to the ground with a solid 82kg frame, he earned his selection for the opening round and featured in a victory over Hawthorn at Glenferrie Oval. He retained his spot for the club's first home game of the year—a win against Footscray at Kardinia Park—but was unable to cement a permanent position in a squad that was rapidly building towards a premiership dynasty. Jones departed the VFL scene having experienced success in both of his senior appearances, leaving the game with a perfect winning record just prior to the Cats' golden era of 1951-52.
