Thomas Jonas (born 9 January 1991) is a former professional Australian rules football player who played for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
[edit | edit source]Jonas made his first appearance at the senior level in the 2011 AFL season.[1] Jonas, along with former teammate John Butcher, made his debut in round 21, against Hawthorn where Port Adelaide were defeated by 165 points.[2] To date, it remains the worst defeat suffered by any player in his debut match in VFL/AFL history.[3]
He was suspended for six matches in 2016 for intentionally striking West Coast's Andrew Gaff, leaving Gaff unconscious for two minutes.[4] After his suspension expired, Jonas missed the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury. In 2018, he said that "it felt like he was suspended for half a year".[5][6]
Jonas was appointed co-captain alongside teammate Ollie Wines in the 2019 season. The following year he assumed sole responsibility for the captaincy, with Wines made vice-captain.[7]
In August 2023, Jonas announced that he would retire following the conclusion of the 2023 season.[8]
