A ready-made key defender who was at the peak of his strength prior to choosing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, the market for Liam Jones at the end of the season may be bigger than you’d expect. Jones was coming off a career-best season with Carlton when he decided to retire, rather than receive vaccinations. Now, with the mandate relaxed, Jones will be allowed into the AFL team in 2023 and there is no shortage of need for his services. We’ve gone through all 17 teams (without Carlton, who has ruled out getting the 31-year-old back) and ranked them based on how much they would benefit from adding Jones for 2023.

West Coast Neither does the eagle. They will have one of their own in a few weeks. 15. Geelong Cats already have their giant forward lock pair. 14. Carlton Like above. Also the salary limit. 13.
