Return To Football
Despite his injuries, Quinn returned to Australia and spent the end of the 1944 SANFL season playing for a combined Port Adelaide/West Torrens side in a reduced competition due to the war.
Quinn's injuries and years away from competition meant he was a slower player than in his pre-war career and was forced to change his playing style, running with the ball less and increased his use of handball.
Playing in the Second Semi Final against Sturt/South Adelaide, Quinn broke his arm early in the last term but played out the match.

“The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty....

—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
“Yet I shall never return to the past, that attic.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
