Re Jones - I was happy to see Jones at FB. I have been calling for this since it feels like round 1 or 2 when it was obvious back then he needed a change of position to learn more (an old fashion football education if you will) and to learn how to work. The physical attributed Jones possesses will should give him a decent chance to become a lock-down FB for starters.
I'd keep him there 100% and see what happens at VFL level for the remainder of the year. I'm not opposed to playing him at FB at AFL level before the seasons done either.
Re V-R - you don't cut a kid like him just yet. He's struggled yes but what an environment to introduce a kid into. He needs another year before we get hasty and start pruning players like him. His kicking is excellent and he moves well. Low confidence playing in a rabble team under a poor coach, zero development work into these kids it appears and we are a rabble AFL club too. Some kids will go okay early and some won't. I'll back him in for next year.
