No he didn't. He just had a choice to make and made it in what he thought was his best interests. Perfectly reasonable. How did he stab us or Buckley in the back.

How deep does the rabbit hole go?
Not to mention his mind set, this guy had the alarm bells ringing.
He and Jack Watts were the two blokes getting thrown up I didn't want a Collingwood.

How sure are you? I heard from very good authority we didn't even offer him a contract.
As I said, we were doing our diligence but cats beat us offering a contract.
He took the cats contract. However, we did want him.
This will be another Ben Cousins and i certainly dont regret that decision.

I get some pretty good info from inside the club I was told we were extremely keen and offered him more money then what Geelong offered
Club thought he was a lock to play with us then last minute decided Geelong was the best fit
He had told the club and people close to him he would be signing with Collingwood then back flipped last minute

Nothing. He chose another suitor that's all.

Well, we did dodge a bullet, but not for the reasons we all think.

Exactly what I heard.
Somebody appears to making things up and I will hazard a guess it is not this journo.

Are you sure you are not making things up? Article above seems to suggest otherwise.

Well - What I head Clarke had said he wanted to go to Collingwood and said that Club he wanted to come.
Then Bloody Geelong and Brad Scott nicked him at the last minute
Damn those twins and their sneaky twinsy tricks.

He had foot issues from memory so had we taken him it wouldn't necessarily have been a bad move given this injury is a calf and presumably new. Maybe the delay was a physical and we weren't sure on his whole body and Geelong swooped, in that case, suck s**t. Fools rush in.
But, on the proviso we gave him the all clear on his body and we were nutted by Cats then I don't get the dodge a bullet thing outside of pure bad luck. This sounds to me a new injury and something that you could never anticipate.

I don't make up things on this board look at my track record we offered him a contract we thought he was lock to sign and were impressed with where his head was at
Geelong swooped out of no where with the offer of playing for a winning low key club and the whole university thing
I feel it was a blessing in the end but did indeed offer him a contract

So what's he got to knock back if no offer was made? I can do the old post an article to support my argument as well.
You really think the Pies would stuff a bloke around not offer him a contract while Geelong were sniffing around?
Well - What I head Clarke had said he wanted to go to Collingwood and said that Club he wanted to come.
Then Bloody Geelong and Brad Scott nicked him at the last minute
Chris Scott is the coach of Geelong TD.
The easiest way to remember is the 'C'.
Chris and Cats.
Hope that makes it easier for you mate.

IF he came to us the injury would have been more severe. Like his head falling off.

He was always going to be a bit of a gamble based on his history. But he'll probably still provide enough over the season to be worth it. He's a handy player when he is up and about. I wouldn't have been too mad at the club if they had taken him, that said he we enough injury prone forwards.
