Junior career

After player for the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup, Jolly spent a year playing for the North Ballarat Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) before being drafted by the Melbourne Football Club in the 2001 Rookie Draft.[1]

Melbourne

He played 48 games over four seasons for Melbourne, mainly as an understudy to Jeff White.[2]

Sydney

The Demons traded Jolly to Sydney in 2004 for pick 15 in the national draft. Along with Jason Ball, in 2005 he was an integral part of Sydney's ruck division and after the retirement of Ball, assumed the number one ruck role at Sydney.

During his time at the Swans Jolly only missed two games, stemming from a suspension following an incident against his old club Melbourne. Jolly has not missed an AFL game since, but this run was cut in early 2011 due to an injury suffered in 2011 playing for Collingwood.

In the early hours of 29 September - one day before the Swans played in the 2006 AFL Grand Final, Jolly's wife Deanne gave birth to the couple's first child, Scarlett, which brought relief to coach Paul Roos, as Jolly had said he would not play in the Grand Final if his wife was to give birth on the day of the game.[3]

Collingwood

At the end of the 2009 season, Jolly requested a trade be done so he could return to his native Victoria with his family.[4] Many clubs expressed initial interest in securing a senior ruckman, with Collingwood satisfying Sydney's requirements, trading picks 14 and 46 in the 2009 AFL Draft.[5] In 2010, Jolly performed very well to become Collingwood's number 1 ruckman and was named in the 40-man All-Australian team squad, but did not make the final team.[6]

Jolly first year at Collingwood mirrored to that of his first year at the Swans, in that he won a premiership in the first year of his stints at both Sydney and Collingwood. Prior to the Grand Final Jolly was the only premiership player in the Collingwood squad; he is now a dual premiership player.

Darren Jolly played his 200th game in Round 19 of the 2011 AFL season, against Essendon. Collingwood won by 74 points.

Statistics

Jolly holds the record of most hitouts in a game by a current AFL player, amassing 53 against Collingwood on June 20, 2009. He beat his previous record of 49 and overall is ranked second since statistics have been kept (1987), one hitout behind Matthew Burton.[7]
