See my reasoning is probably different to yours. He's a Territorian before he's a South Australian and if he was ever going to leave the AFC fold (that is, not just retire but also venture away for a bit like Schimmelbush did with North) he'd come back to Darwin, not over to bloody Alberton. I doubt many Port supporters knew his NTFL history before he was drafted to AFC/now know anything about his time up here still.
