Jolly Stays With Sydney
Ruckmen will be part of some of the biggest trades this week but premiership player Darren Jolly won't be part of it. He is staying with the Swans.
Cameron Wood, Mark Blake or maybe Steven King, John Meesen and Ben Hudson are some of the ruckmen who could be changing clubs via a trade or during the preseason draft. Wood could be a Magpie or Crow, and the Crows might be the favourite there because Meesen is reportedly on the way to Melbourne while Hudson is expected to become a Bulldog. The Cats probably can't afford to keep both Blake and King, due to salary cap constraints.

From The Age: Jolly good deal entices ruckman to stay a Swan
The Sydney ruckman, who started his career with Melbourne, had been contemplating a return to Victoria for family reasons but instead has committed his long-term future to the Swans, who offered the certainty of a four-year contract to keep their 2005 premiership player.
