Yes but Darren Jolly isn't going to agree to a Rookie spot & a rookie wage, he will want a senior list spot and would demand big $$$$

Not an option

Demand big $$

Now I've heard it all

At his age he shouldn't be demanding  anything
Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

daniel, never said I agreed with it just pointing out the obvious

He's been on $500-$600k+ at the Pies he will looking at least $400k that's big $$ for a 31yo. And someone will pay it 



We shouldn't be using that sort of $$ on Jolly and if the meda are right regarding our salary cap we couldn't afford it anyway  ;D

The thing about Stephenson is he is prepared to remain as a rookie and as a rookie who cost us nothing I agree he does OK

We must make a big play at Longer. There are stuff all rucks in this years draft or certainly nothing that's worth a first or second round pick. That means any ruck man from this years draft would be a very long term prospect at best. Belchambers, Longer, Zac Clarke, would be the three I would be moving heaven and earth to get.
Ide be sticking with stepheson for now and try to recruit a middle aged ruckman from another list. Jolly is to injury prone, he'll end up at Geelong anyway ;)

Massively agree on Longer  :clapping two years in the system already and with Maric and TV it will sure up our ruck situation for the next 4-5 years and beyond depending on who we get later. Unless we move now on somebody we're going to miss the boat and be up poo creek regarding rucks for several years.

Nobody old.

Get a bloke who will play 5+ years.


I've been saying for MONTHS we should try to get Warnock. And people should see why now. Has destroyed us the last two games. 206cm tall. Experienced.

That and he's at least as good as broken down Jolly. What's the point in having a constantly injured back-up. He's done. Only person who hasn't realised is Jolly himself.

did Currie at Nought sign a one or 2 year contract? I'd go hell for leather for him if hes now out of contract. He looked very impressive and ready to go in the nob cup, just couldn't get a sniff bc of Goldstein and then injury.
