Good players who never went home and played interstate for their entire careers

[AFDogs]

Now I'm not very old, but I don't think the homesickness was as rampant as it currently is in the AFL, with most players eventually getting home or to where they want to be.

Dangerfield, Judd and countless other champion players eventually made it home as it was probably more desirable and practical.

This thread isn't about spud players who play interstate.

This is about the champions who could've played anywhere they wanted, but instead chose to stick it out interstate. Jon Brown and Pavlich spring to mind, but were there any others?

Player manager factor?

Adam Selwood, only Joel was picked up by a Vic club, Troy & Scooter went home.

Different circumstances and a different time I guess, but Mark Bairstow went from South Freo to Geelong and finished up there. Brian Taylor never actually played senior footy in his home state, playing his entire career in Victoria.
These possibly don't count though.

Every player from Tasmania, ever.

Lenny Hayes, Nicky Winmar, Nick Riewoldt (although he was closer to Tassie) come to mind from the Saints.
