I'll give him a 7.
1 - for choosing Collingwood.
Yep, this is an interesting question - the club has obviously always put a high premium on ruckmen and has gone hard after two promising types.
But given this was probably Jolly's year, it's also interesting to note it's probably the poorest year we've had for clearances for a number of seasons (tho I 'fess up I haven't actually looked at the official stats on this - gut instinct only). This suggests to me that as long as we have someone that can give a contest in the ruckman we shouldn't be too badly off.
7.5 for Jolly - faded in the last third of the year, understandably given his workload.
Excellent year. Incredibly consistent performer since being given a chance at the Swans. I can't remember a year that he had a shocker.
Our success in 05/06 to make back-to-back grand finals was largely due to him being able to come out on the plus side of the ledger more often than not - since 2006 he has largely played a lone hand in the ruck and we have remained very competitive.
Wish him all the best for his future. Would have loved him to stay but I won't be cheering him given he's turned evil but will gladly welcome him back to the red and white upon retirement.
10.
When you're arguabley the best ruck in the comp, you deserve a 10.
I'll miss him, as will the Swans. But we got some value for him in a trade so I'm not too upset at his leaving.
Took several points off for joining the c-words
Otherwise would have been a seven
10 for being hen pecked!
In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.
I was taken aback by the photo of him in Pies clobber. I knew he was going to the centre soon to be formerly known as Lexus, but I didn't imagine the whole sordid scenario.
The two things I really liked about him were his deadeye kicking for goal - I'll always remember that steadier from the pocket in the granny (he was never going to miss); and the fact that after that first year he really did shoulder the load. With due respect to Doyle, Everitt, Pyke et al.
Who was the last Swan to leave (permanently) for another AFL club?
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
Voluntarily....good question. Can't think of one besides the mass exodus of the 80's and the new recruits leaving in the 90's - Rocca, et al.
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
Scott Stevens???
before that, Diesel Williams??
It could be our slogan during draft week:
"Sydney Swans - the club you'll never leave*"
*unless asked

I thought he was delisted....either way he wasn't getting much of a game.
