it appeared his career was over.
“I don’t watch the news. I don’t read the papers or anything like that. I felt really good, and I had an amazing time at Palm Beach in a beautiful part of the world I had never really explored before. The AFL was the last thing on my mind,” Jones said. “I didn’t think [returning to the AFL] was going to be a possibility at that time of the year and was excited to help Palm Beach as much as I could.
Then he got on with life, which he says was always going to include football in some form or another.“I have always just loved football and had a love for the game. I don’t think it will ever go. My sister did say to me: ‘What are you going to do if you can’t play at all?’ I said: ‘I will go down the park and kick the football. If someone is there for a kick, I will have a kick,’” Jones said.
Liam Jones retired from AFL rather than adhere to the vaccination policy the AFL had in place at the start of 2022.He repaid the favour on-field, making the QAFL team of the year and keeping recruiters’ eyes open as chances of a change in the AFL’s vaccination policy increased as the year went on.
