    Welcome BACK to the Western Bulldogs Liam Jones


    Liam Jones is back where it all started, returning to the Western Bulldogs on a three-year deal as an unrestricted free agent.

    The 31-year-old will call VU Whitten Oval home until at least the end of 2025, committing to the Club during the AFL Free Agency Period on Tuesday.

    Jones joins the Dogs after spending seven seasons at Carlton, becoming a premier defender of the competition, after a five-year stint in the red, white and blue beginning in 2010.

    The 199cm key defender averaged 12 touches and six marks per game in 2021 and was a member of Carlton’s leadership group for his past two seasons.


    Taken at Pick 32 in the 2008 National Draft, the Tasmanian has played 161 games across his career and claimed a 2014 VFL Premiership with Footscray.


    Jones was proud to pull on the red, white and blue once again.

    “I’m just so grateful to have the opportunity to play at the highest level again,” Jones said.

    “This Club gave me a chance all those years ago and I’m excited by the prospect of returning and helping this group continue to strive for success.”

    “Having started my career at the Club, I feel a sense of belonging in the red, white and blue and can’t wait to meet all the players and staff over the coming weeks.

    “I learnt plenty from my time at Carlton and hopefully I can bring some of that knowledge and experience over to the Dogs to help support the great players in our back half.”

    Bulldogs General Manager – List & Recruiting, Sam Power couldn’t be more pleased to have Jones return to the fold at the Bulldogs.

    “We’re thrilled to officially welcome Liam back into our colours,” Power said.

    “Liam has some great relationships from his previous time at the Bulldogs, coupled with strong defensive attributes, we believe he will be a great fit for our football club.

    “Having 161 games behind him, Liam brings a sense of leadership and stability to our back line, adding more depth in that area of the ground.”

    Looks to be in ripping shape for a guy out the system a long while.

    The club needs to live stream scratch matches. Jones vs Naughton could be up there with Neo vs Morpheous.

    A back, turned forward. A forward turned back. And our best last two KPP’s who manically throw themselves into packs.

    Is there talk of Liam turning on beast mode in the preseason yet ?

    Welcome back, and I am glad you have completed your apprenticeship at Carlton.

    Man he looks old as hell. Did he not go inside his entire stint in NQ.

    Have a look at the skin on his shoulders. My answer is a resounding no. He was sucking up every last particle.

    It's a decent beard granted but, you know, thems big shoes to fill and that title can't be bandied about too readily.

    Hate to be negative again but that’s a clear dye job on the beard. Ben Hudson would never.
