Marion Jones at Bulleen?

Interesting article. Sounds to me like Bulleen are trying to jump on the Jones' bandwagon, and you can bet any money that its a move that will be of huge promotional value to the small club.

Who cares if she's a disgraced champion, this would do great things to boost media awareness of the WNBL. I think it'd be great of Jones played for an Aussie club.

From her last interview - Jones was enthusiastic about playing in Australia, but 'understood the League had a time frame'
( The League's deadline for registration, mentioned regarding the signing of Jackson, - is before half the regular season games for a club have been played)
The envision is to play only home games and ask for a waiver for finals, - giving the club and the League a promotable oppurtunity.

Would be great for the media exposure that's for sure.

Not sure how great it would be for Bulleen's championship aspirations though.

Would Jones be eligible for an Australian Visa given the fact that she is a convicted criminal???
