So, after what was "probably my most disappointing season", Guerra knew the time had come to tell coach Mark Williams that he wanted to move to a club, in Victoria, where he had the opportunity to play four quarters every week.
It was a difficult decision for Guerra to make, but it was amicably received by Williams.
"Port Adelaide is a great team and it was just hard to break in. I didn't know where I stood and I thought if I came back home, I hopefully could make an impact with a club back here and I was lucky enough to get to St Kilda," he said.
"I played a lot of football back, forward and a bit onball.
"I wanted to become an onballer and with Port Adelaide, they've got so many of them at the moment. I just thought it was time for me to go."
Now intent on forging himself into a four-quarter contributor, he looks forward to finding himself a place at St Kilda, with coach Grant Thomas' only request so far that he "play tough footy".
It is a task into which Guerra, frustrated by his limited bursts of time on the ground, is more than happy to throw himself.
"I was the sort of player who'd come on for 10 minutes and hopefully get a few goals out of me, but I really want to be playing a full four quarters. With a bit of luck I'll be doing it here," he said.
Fair enough reasons and I am sure nearly all of us, if not all of us, wish him all the best.
