A highly rated utility that can play tall or small, Lachie Jones is one of Port Adelaide’s most exciting young talents. The 22-year-old’s trademark explosiveness and ferocious hunger for the ball means he can attack the contest knowing he can take it up to just about anyone in the competition.
Laid back but confident, Jones reads the play well, can take a high mark and has a booming right foot. His rise in form was rewarded with a Rising Star nomination in mid-2022 where he recorded 16 disposals and nine score involvements – showing the damage he can do when put in the forward half. In the same year he was rewarded with the Gavin Wanganeen Award at Port Adelaide's best and fairest, awarded to the best-performing player under 21.
Jones is primed for a huge 2025 where he will aim to continue his ascent and cement his spot off the half back line.
