Correct me if I'm wrong, but his three options are:
1. Go to Melbourne under the F/S
2. Get picked up by GWS under one of their rules allowing them to get 4 17 year olds
3. Go to the national draft
So, he really has a 1 in 9 chance of staying in SA if he takes option three, by being picked up by Adelaide/Port Adelaide. So why risk it? Besides, he's only been in SA for 2 years now, his dad captained Melbourne and he played footy with Jack Trengove and Luke Tapscott...so we're talking about slim chances of him not ending up a Demon, right?
