Scott Jones is a 22-year-old ruckman, drafted from East Perth.
Jones has a big strong body, is a great size for an AFL ruck, and is a strong contested mark around the ground and up forward.
2017 was a breakout year for the ruckman, playing 15 WAFL league games for East Perth, where he averaged 11 disposals, four marks (1.5 contested marks), 20 hitouts and kicked nine goals.
The mature-aged recruit showed his ability against Claremont in round 19 with 10 marks (two contested), along with 17 disposals, 23 hitouts, four tackles and a goal.
Jones showed impressive tap work at the ruck contests in 2017. He is a good kick for his size and tested extremely well at the WA State Combine recording a 3.02 sec 20m sprint which is elite for his size.
