Wrong ludbar, he prefers Collingwood but has been told by his manager that a deal would be unlikely to be done with Collingwood because no draft picks and the Pies unwillingness to trade a star and unsettle the group.
He was told BY HIS MANAGER that he is better off saying he has chosen Carlton rather than saying Collingwood so he looks like he has gone to the club he wanted and is a favourite of the supporters straight away.
Think about it, he wanted the best training facilities, wanted to play at the MCG (Carlton's home ground is Telstra Dome) and wants to be part of a team that is close to a premiership. Collingwood ticks 3 boxes and Carlton ticks none.
And while I am a Pie supporter I also have known his decision for a week due to my gf knowing his gf.
