A hard-working ruck from West Perth, Odin Jones is best known for his follow-up work and efforts around the ground. A readymade size at 199cm and 96kg, Jones competed well against some high quality rucks at WAFL Colts level, and averaged a handy 15.7 disposals, 3.5 marks and 18.1 hitouts per game.

He was able to go forward on occasions and hit the scoreboard, though it was his ability to cover ground that caught the eye. His defensive pressure and second efforts post-stoppage, along with his higher-than-average production rates suggest that he has some other strings to his bow outside the ruck contests.

Jones' kicking style can be a little awkward and the consistency not quite there due to over finessing the ball at times, while his athleticism is another area that is the tradeoff for his size. Though, given his size and ability to impact games with strong numbers across the board, he looms as a rookie option.
