News Darren Jolly on The Block

[the_champ_2004]

Not sure if this is the right spot for this but I've got some news that I've searched for and can't see anywhere else on the site.

With the new season of The Block having started to film, one of the contestants is our ruckman from the last four year. Darren Jolly is going to be one of the contestants to renovate an office block on High street Prahran.

This was the closest thing I could find to online news linking him to the show so it's clearly still hush hush.

He also wouldn't mind taking on a spot on The Block.

"I would really enjoy that and I know Darren Jolly is into his home renovations, I could get big Dazza and do all the coordination stuff and he could do the building,'' Shaw said.

From what I have heard from someone I know well inside the club, he was a pretty selfish person last year so it would be interesting to see if this is portrayed in the show.

You would hope that channel 9 would give someone else a go rather than a guy who has already made his fortune.

Wouldn't put it past them though

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Maybe I can finally watch The Block now.

Where did you get your news from? Certainly not from that article.

Nah of course not, someone involved with the appartments told me.

If his information is wrong I'm more than willing to come back here own up to it with some form of punishment.

Yea I remember reading somewhere that jolly was a keen renovator having done a few times.

A beating with wet lettuce would be in order.

 

[blaze036]

Can't stand the block at all.

Such a punishment always reminds me of this.

Skip to 1:20 if The Late Show isn't your thing.

I couldn't give a fat rats clacker about Darren being on the show. I'm just curious to see if the stories are true about Mrs Jolly.

"Collingwood star"? Yes he was but they way they write that article, they are trying to make it sound like he still plays for the pies. Typical journalism.

It's an article from last year.

I hope he calls someone a coward

Not much to tell really because it's all rumor and innuendo, but apparently she played a MASSIVE part in him coming back to Vic midway through his deal with the Swans and was very vocal behind the scenes.

Knowing what these shows are like quite often it's more about the personalities than skills and I've just heard she has a very strong one.

The rumors could be complete crap so I'm interested to find out

Thats a bit dull

I thought she had family issues in Melbourne, and that was why they moved.

Had post-natal depression and wanted to be closer to family was the reason given I'm pretty sure

That's the reason why I'm interested because there's every chance blaze is correct and I certainly don't want to sit back and pot anyone based on rumor!!

If he wins it will be because he brought the bloods culture with him to Prahran.
