Fremantle teenager Odin Jones has had serious surgery on his spine after suffering — what the club has called — a “freak accident”. In a statement, the Dockers said Odin fell “awkwardly” on Wednesday night and fractured a vertebrae in his spine. “This was a freak accident and Odin is now in the care of specialists following surgery this morning,” football manager Joe Brierty said. “He will now have a couple of weeks in hospital while we await advice on his recovery timeline.
” The 19-year-old is a 199cm key-position player. He was selected from West Perth with Pick 5 in last year’s rookie draft and recently signed a one-year contract extension to remain on the Fremantle’s list until the end of 2025. The versatile Odin is yet to make his AFL debut, but he can play in the ruck or at both ends of the ground. Before being drafted, he missed the U18 championships with a knee injury.
