2009 Rate a Season: #16 Darren Jolly

[AnnieH]

Yeah, yeah, I know he's gone ... and I know you still want to rate him.

8.

Because of his wife, we lost a good ruckman.

Just a tad spiteful!!

Very good season which understandably tapered away towards the end.

It will be interesting to see how much if at all he is missed. My feeling is that the difference on the teams performance as a result of losing a very good ruckmen like Jolly is not that great as compared to if we had lost our best midfielder.

On the other hand I believe the loss of Ball at the end of 2005 was extremely telling on the ultimate result in 2006.

So ultimately time will tell on how important Jolly was to our structure.

I just cannot bring myself to rate him, I'm still peed off at what he did.

Even though I reckon we've done extremely well with his replacements and I reckon we would have been up the proverbial creek in two years time when he definately would have pulled the pin had he not done it this year, I just can't build that bridge.

I thought the saying went more along the lines that he was whipped by a cat

8.

Would have got a 9, but 8 because he went to Collingwood.

Great season from a ruckman, who Melbourne practically gave to us for nothing.

1/10 - Was going great guns until Rd 22 but severely lost the plot after that.

7. Would have been higher but he tailed away in the final rounds, then turned tail and ran from the club that gave him justification as a quality ruckman so he could grab another premiership. I'm playing the ball here, but there's nothing wrong with a good hip and shoulder to the solar plexus on the way.

We traded a first rounder for him.

[Bloody Hell]

Gonna be good to see some spirited, hardcore booing at a Collingwood game.

Unrateable....I don't like Collingwood.

Works at multiple levels. WRT his wife, his replacement, his demeanor.

[Primmy]

8 from me, 9 if he hadn't gone to Collingwood.

Won't join in the sniping. He has a right to live his own life without having to kowtow to us. He, his wife and his children have a right to live in Melbourne amongst their families if they choose. Its just its Collingwood.....then again it could have been the dogs, and it would have been worse.

Who?

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Collingwood Board?

Yes, I do hold grudges and no I will not rate him.
