Who remembers him in his first home and away game in 05 against Hawthorn? He looked lean and when he kicked a goal on the run from 50, he had some decent dash.

let's hope he pays back the faith by creating some decent f/s selections for us in the future (at the right time of the year though)

The Sunday paper said the swans are still keen to re-sign Jolly. They must've missed Friday nghts news.

Yes, who cares how or why . He's a good ruckman and he'll be playing for Sydney for the next four years. go jolly.

Great news.
Look forward to seeing him enjoy his footy now he's settled.

A four year contract is risky because he'll either go one of two ways - live up to the faith that's been put in him or become complacent.

That risk exists with anyone no matter how long the contract. The teams in the grand final had two good rucks - important for the club to sign him.
I'm sure there are break clauses in the contract (hope there are).

This is hearsay and all of the swans players would be annoyed that their fans think that they cannot be 100% committed to the footy club regardless of their contractual period.

In what way is it hearsay?
