 However, by the following Tuesday (the first training session of the week), a very delicate set of negotiations had taken place which allowed Jones to retract his (verbal) resignation, and on Saturday 25 May 1968 (round 7) he was best on the ground in the Carlton team that beat Collingwood 15.11 (101) to 9.13 (67) at Princes Park.Married to Jan (née King), and with a daughter Georgia, Jones has spent most of his post-football life running hotels in inner suburban Melbourne (including "Percy's Bar" in Lygon st, Carlton during the 80's).The most famous of which was run in conjunction with Adrian Gallagher (at 551 Nicholson St, Carlton) and was called "The Blush and Stutter" after Gallagher's infinite propensity for blushing at anything, and Jones' quite severe speech impediment (mainly a hesitancy that is more of a stammer, than the repetitive staccato of a stutter).
