Mate I believe that ST was going home to play for Adelaide from the day he was drafted.
My clear memory of that time was similar to TS.
The day TS took a two year deal I knew was not going to stay, family said sit it out for two years and see what develops.
My memeory of ST was that his family wanted him home in Adelaide.
It would not have mattered who drafted him he was going back home sooner or later.
I have never thought of him as a player we lost because I never believed he wanted to be anywhere else but home in Adelaide.
The dees were just a stop alone that journey.
