"I've still got two years left. I'm contracted," Jolly says from outside the team hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona.
"Hopefully my body holds up and Bucks (Nathan Buckley) still loves me so I'll try and squeeze another couple out of that."
The ruckman also tells CTV's Nick Hulett about his struggle to find form after missing eight matches with a knee injury during the 2011 season.
"It's extremely hard. Literally, you're throwing away all of the pre-season (the work put in). To not do anything for a while and then try to get back to full fitness is pretty hard," explains Jolly.
"Not only that, but my leg strength suffered a bit because I couldn't really focus on getting that back to speed".
It's the second time Jolly has visited Arizona in less than six months, having trained there for two weeks mid-season while recovering from knee surgery.
