As a youngster Scott Thompson was an avid Port Adelaide fan and dreamed of playing for the Power.

Thompson played with Port in the SANFL before being drafted by the Demons, but has no regrets about coming across the border.

I’ve settled in well now,” Thompson told afl.com.au. “I’m a lot more comfortable around everyone. The club has been great from when I first moved over.

“I barracked for Port Power and I would have loved to have gone there, but you’ve got no choice. I hated the Crows and I wanted to thump them (in last year’s semi-final). Sitting in the stands watching was frustrating and I wanted to be out there.”

There are plenty of South Australians around the club to help make Thompson feel home. This year the SA contingent has grown by three with draftees, Daniel Bell (Glenelg), Nick Smith (Norwood) and Jared Rivers (North Adelaide).

“I’ve been looking after Nick and Jared as I live around the corner from them and get them to training occasionally,” Thompson said.

Yeah, we discussed it last year when the rumours were suggesting we were having a crack at him. I am pretty sure his feelings would have changed now and they would be forgoten when he gets the captaincy after Roo
