Ex-Eagle ‘fell out of love with footy’, but spark’s returned
Former West Coast defender Jamaine Jones has found his love for footy again.
Bruised by years of being at the bottom of the ladder and wearing thumping after thumping at the Eagles, Jones and footy are falling for each other once more.
Jones has stayed in WA and will play for South Fremantle in the WAFL this year. It’s a club that already has some former teammates, plenty of close friends and is the former home of his great mate Tim Kelly.
“I fell out of love with footy there for a little bit. It was a bit hard when you’ve been at West Coast and are getting smashed by 100 points each week, so I did lose a little bit of love,” he told The West Australian in a candid interview.
