For someone so young he has certainly racked up a few ex clubs already. While players leaving for $ is not unusual it is strange to jump between so many ammo clubs in such a short space of time. In his defense he is a Beaumaris junior so they might get him to stick around for more than a year. Darwin - any ideas why he left the Blues?

Probably because he is a Beauy junior.

Yes I also made that point in my post Brian but it has been some time since he graced Banksia Reserve (2005 or thereabouts I believe) and he has passed through a few ammo clubs already. Blues enticed him from OM’s with a very good job, which he still has. I suspect it is more to do with him not wanting to play ‘B’ grade so the sharks would want to stay up if they want to see him beyond 2014. Being a Blues man Darwin would know more than us hence the question.
Former captain James Tyquin back to the tigers.
H.Shakib will be a big loss for the tigers. Is heading overseas.
Brett Collins is not a loss. Has not played since the A grade premiership.
Will be relying on the strong under 19's coming through and a few of them to take the next step.

Rooster, haven't heard much besides was adamant on playing prem A and had a couple of connections at Beauy. Handy player and will be missed.

Without knowing him but looking at his track record, why any club would put time into him astounds me.
VAFA football is about playing with your mates, not grades.
Ergo
He has no mates.
See you in 12 months

Makes sense to go out at the top. By the same token I'm a little surprised because Luke had said one of his ambitions was to finish his playing days at Xavs in the same team as his brother.

Beauy junior.... Not sure that is the reason. He openly shopped himself around both of the past two seasons, training at more than one club. IF that was the case, why not go there last year?

Sad to see Lynch struggling in the twos. Was a very good player in his heyday. First forward, then back. Went a year too long perhaps.
Saw Xavs a number of times and didn't notice the skipper was deprived of game time. Thought he was among the best in fact. Will be missed both for his playing ability and on-field leadership.

Can confirm that Penski...he has gone to play with his best mate Valenti
Will be missed around the club

Any other substantial losses at Brindisi? Cleaners have certainly been put through De La Salle but seems they have been able to replace them with new and returning players.

Nothing major Jimmy...the usual ins and outs that seem to balance themselves.
VFL getting stuck into our junior ranks and have heard other A grade clubs the same

Bairnsdale for $. Seems they have really opened the purse strings. Have to wonder what it does for the fabric of the club to throw big $ at ‘fly in’s from Melbourne who don’t train or engage with the club or community. A great player and even better bkoke. Big loss for De La but would be surprised if he stays more than a season.

This is message to anyone who thinks loyalty no longer exists. Read the following.
Frank will be greatly missed.
G’day All
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of our much loved and respected Frank Henagan. Frank passed away on 8 January 2014 at 2.20am in the Epworth hospital after a brief illness. Frank was 80 years young.
Frank’s story at the Blues is a one of hard work, respect, caring and passion. Following a brief period as boundary umpire for Club in the early 1960’s, Frank moved to the VFL as a professional boundary umpire where he officiated for more than 10 years. He returned to Blues in 1973, and has served Melbourne University Football Club ever since, becoming a life member in 1977.
Frank’s roles with University Blues included Senior Boundary Umpire for more than 10 years, fitness coach for Blues Senior and Under 19 teams (and 2 years with the Blacks), committeeman, Under 19 coach, Under 19 team manager, Under 19 runner, Under 19 goal umpire, and most recently Under 19 timekeeper.
Frank was also heavily involved in College football at the University, coaching Trinity College to only their second college football premiership in 1994.
Frank was a friend to countless generations of University Blues footballers and a key part of the clubs training nights and match day administration for 40 years and will be sadly missed by all of the Blues Community.
A funeral for Frank will be held at Trinity College Chapel on Royal Parade in Parkville at 10.30am on Monday 13 January and while limited seating is available in the Chapel, overflow seating with a live video stream of the service will be available to accommodate all attendees.
After the service there will be an opportunity to gather and remember Frank in the Trinity College Dining Hall.
Kind regards

I hear on the grape vine.......Xavs have lost: Colbert, Wynne, Pat Ambrose, Murphy Ambrose, Ball, Rogerson. A big ruckman they had last year? Goss not playing 1st half of year.
I believe that is Sapuppo retiring.
