Skippy hops off, Callinan drops in

[Squawk]

My mail says that Skippy has signed with Bendigo and Callinan has signed with Central Districts.

Can anyone confirm either of their situations at present?

The Advertiser confirms the Skippy story this morning and I posted last week that Callinan had signed with Centrals after a very reliable source showed me some "offiical" paperwork.

Surely not Hayden "I bleed Blue, Green & Yellow" Skipworth!

Dunno if its been mentioned but the Bendigo Bombers coach is Matty Knights who would have seen a bit of Skippy during his brief stay...sounds like they had him signed up prior to the PSD but thought he would get picked up but were pleasantly suprised when he wasnt, maybe the Eagles were sleeping while others were active?

THE Tasmanian Devils pocket rocket Ian Callinan has signed a one-year contract to play with SANFL club Central District.

Callinan last night confirmed his move to South Australia after Christmas, but denied it had anything to do with the arrival of new Devils coach Daryn Cresswell.

“I wish `Cressa’ and the boys all the best in the VFL next season,” said the 2005 J.J. Liston, and Alastair Lynch medal winner, who missed his last chance of playing AFL footy when passed over by the Kangaroos in the recent rookie draft.

“My move has nothing to do with that.

“It’s about making a future for me and my family.

“I had six great years with the Devils, but the money in SA is pretty good and Centrals have promised to help find jobs for me and my wife Lauren.”

Callinan, who was wooed by a number of other cashed-up SANFL clubs, said he had taken a leaf out of the book of his wife’s father, All-Australian player Des James, in making the move.

“Des took the punt to leave Shepparton and try his luck in Hobart in 1974 and ended up playing in three TFL premiership sides for Sandy Bay,” he said.

Central District has been the SANFL success story of the new millenium, having won five premierships between 2001 and 2005.
