Bio:

Jones was a star of the NAB AFL Draft Combine, with the versatile small breaking a 14-year record in the agility test with a run of 7.70 seconds. He was also joint winner of the vertical jump test and placed equal fifth in the running vertical jump, as well as claiming a 20-metre sprint time of 2.912 seconds. It showed his capabilities and speed, which is an important part of Jones' game and came to the fore at different stages this year, with the West Australian influencing games in a number of spots.

What National Recruiting Manager Adrian Caruso says:

Darcy is a player we believe can turn into a dangerous small forward who combines some elite athletic traits with a strong footy brain. Darcy’s two-way speed suits the way we want to play, yet he also is a strong competitor who we are confident can develop into a player that gives us a spark in the front half.
