Have You Met Brent Jones?
15/12/2008

With the emergence of Brent Jones within the The Bullets Football Club, rumours have been circulating that the ever-growing contingent of Joneses are planning a hostile takeover of the club. The club has always been controlled by the Burford family, but a number of key board members along with several coterie groups are believed to be behind the push to hand control of the club to the Jones family.

It has been well documented that the Jones family has become increasingly frustrated with what they perceive to be a lack of vision with the club. Key issues, such as the poorly administered website and lack of medical insurance, are just some of the areas the Jones family will be seeking to improve at the club. Three members of the family (Dean, Narelle, and Brent) are all now regular players, while others such as Keith and Tina Randall (in-laws from Narelle's highly publicised relationship to Keith) have made appearances in the past. Many thought it telling that Brent's wife, Leanne, made a rare appearance on the boundary during the club's finals clash against The Whitneys. It will certainly have Bullet females Margit Gailis and Danijela Mijic looking over their shoulders.

If the takeover did take place, the Jones family has a wealth of talent to call on. In the near future, it may not be unusual to see Welsh crooner Tom Jones (third cousin from Aunty Fay's side of the family) calling Elgar Rd Oval the green, green grass of home.
