This is true.
What makes everyone think he is staying? Surely he's gone if he hasn't signed by now

Funnily enough, despite some small hope, most Giants think he is gone.
Either to play with someone who can coach t Hawthorn, Or to basically pay off 10 city homes in the space of a year or 2 at Carlton.
Every player has different reasons for choosing a club. For me, If it was a choice of an extra 1m 1.5 mil over a contract period or playing with my mate i would take the cash every day of the week.

You can usually tell what someone is doing by supporter optimism. Both Carlton and Hawthorn fans seem super optimistic, whereas GWS fans are at best hopeful.
It sounds like he's saying two things to two different clubs, though.

Would be a good fit at both Carlton and Hawthorn, if I am him I am choosing Hawthorn though. Clarko the main reason.

Are you sure? It's crickets on the Hawks board and Carlton haven't heard anything from the Coniglio camp. I say GWS should be feeling the most optimistic.

Well I guess it shows I'm mostly just looking at this thread for my opinions. I mostly avoid reading club boards that aren't the Sydney one.
Told by who? Every ITK has it differently though. And if what Carlton is offering is true then they are in the race at a minimum
Not sure you’re looking in the right spots
Heard something or just a gut feel?

I reckon people 'hearing it's 50/50' need to be critical of their sources.
More than likely, the source is someone who has heard, third hand, the official line..."Not sure...weighing up my future...big decision...just want to let my football do the talking...etc etc"
Whichever way he goes, he's more likely to have decided months ago

99% has made his decision to leave but we will all sit here twiddling thumbs until GWS get knocked out.
Assuming the dogs/pies do the right thing this week and the dogs do another demo job on them in week 1 of the finals probably 10th-12th September we will finally hear what he is doing.
Maybe he'll play funny buggers and not announce it until the end of the free agency/trade period
We don't need another shiel please, GWS pushing for that answer should see it come sooner rather then later.Maybe he'll play funny buggers and not announce it until the end of the free agency/trade period
Food for thought though, if it is hawthorn GWS should 100% have the ability to match and force a trade to get more then the pick 13 ish FA compo.

JOM and Cogs aren’t just ‘friends’, have you seen their instagram? basically with each other every second photo... they are inseparable, to an extent where Cogs literally flew up to GC to watch JOM return from injury in the NEAFL despite the fact he had a game that weekend. I have no doubt in my mind Cogs would want to play alongside his best mate, and if he joins Hawthorn, JOM would be a key factor to his decision.

He'll probably live with JOM if he moves to VIC.
Honestly i wouldn't even want to see my best mate at home, work and then at social outings...would *ing get sick of him.
He can play at Carlton and still see JOM every day...you guys make it sound like he can't spare a single moment without JOM.
