I didn't see a lot of footy this year, due to travel, however, I wonder if anyone can fill me in on how Darren Jolly's holding up? Fitness, athleticism etc... I know he was injured and Grundy took his position and that's about it. Is there anything to be gained by us picking him up as a tall, marking, forward? How is his marking these days? He used to be quite solid.
He'd only have a year or two left I guess. I'm trying to balance the idea of creating a winning culture (assuming he helped us win) vs developing a younger list...or perhaps the two aren't mutually exclusive. Could he help develop the list??
I know it seems a little outrageous which is not usually my game (baby), but just crossed my mind

Bloke can't really jump anymore unfortunately which makes him a liability in the ruck. No worries with thinking outside the box. I think Jolly would be best be avoided since we have no need for another mature age ruck.
Heard he has signed on to play for Deer Park in WRFL along with Hoops

I wouldn't bother with Jolly now.
I did float his name as an option through the trade period but only if we decided to be ultra-aggressive and trade both Hampson and Warnock.
In that scenario I think there would have been real merit to the idea of bringing in Jolly as a mature aged rookie to support Kreuzer, as well as also bringing in a young ruck through the rookie draft.
Having kept both Kreuzer and Warnock there's now no need for Jolly. I am in favour of bringing a 3rd ruck to the club through the rookie draft but that should be a young kid rather than a 32 year old.

Ah yeah. I was floating the idea of bringing him in purely as a FF though, that wouldn't ruck at all. From memory he has a pretty good set of hands and a reasonable shot on goal, is all.

Ok ... so if we pass on the PSD - we will have four selections (three live) in Rookie Draft:
12, 28, 41, 50 (Scotland).

He can still be drafted - if we opt to use a PSD pick OR he can be taken as a rookie with one the above picks.
I think he would be worth the risk, if he strays we cut him. Low risk, high reward.
When is the PSD?

3 rookies picks left and IMO we should be developing a ruckman, need a physically developed KPP for depth and the best of who is left.
