The Bullets first finals match...Won the club's goalkicking in 2004
with 5 goals...Is apparently on a six figure deal...Has been joined
at the club by sister Narelle...His three goals in the wet helped The

to that victory...Finished off the season with another bag of four goals
against The Travellers in The Bullets' 2005 finals campaign...Finished
the season with 24 goals to come second in the club's goalkicking...Reminded
Coachy of that fact when contract negotiations took place during the

The Bullets to a Round 4 win against The Gunners...Brought up his 50th
career goal in the 2006 finals against The Travellers, playing a big
part in the side's win...Once again was runner-up to 'Mez' in the club's
goalkicking for 2006...Played his 25th game against The Gunners in Round
6 2007 and was best-on-ground...Struggled to keep his temper under control towards season's end as The Bullets endured a horrid losing streak...Is hopeful that post-season tai chi and yoga classes will allow him to return to his mild-mannered best in 2008...Looked set for big things in 2008 before breaking a finger in the pre-season...Used his spare time to write a new column, 'Keeping Up With The Jonesy'...Bullets website had difficulty dealing with all the extra traffic...Back with a vengeance in 2009, kicking 6 goals in his return game...Key player in the side's first premiership win...Tied for leading goalkicker in 2010 with friendly rival 'Mez'...Fell agonisingly short of a second premiership...Rectified that in 2011 - capturing the premiership and a Corporate Games gold medal...Played his 50th game in Round 5 2011 against Fitzroy...
