Collingwood star Dale Thomas at training. COLLINGWOOD star Dale Thomas says he is not thinking about his future as speculation continues to swirl about a switch to Carlton next year. The out-of-contract Thomas, who is well known to have a strong bond with Blues coach Mick Malthouse, continues to be linked to Carlton. When asked about the Blues on Nova 100's Hughesy & Kate program this morning, Thomas said it was 'just another story.' "It's a massive thing to think about, but I don't need to think about it at the minute because it's not happening," Thomas said. The high-profile Magpie said the contract talk was not consuming his thoughts when quizzed what percentage of thought he gave to his future beyond this year. "In all honesty, of everything that goes on in my life - probably 2 per cent," he said. Collingwood face St Kilda at Etihad Stadium tomorrow night following their Anzac Day capitulation against Essendon. Acting skipper Scott Pendlebury raised eyebrows last week when he accused his team of "cheating" at vital stages of the clash against the Bombers. Thomas welcomed the criticism. In the crucial stages of the game instead of waiting to go and win the game and getting in there and having a crack at where the ball is and going from there, we didn't do that. We were hoping more to act on it," he said. I think it (Pendlebury's comments) was a fair assessment. "Obviously those comments are usually made behind and in meetings, which is fine," he said. It puts the blowtorch on. It is refreshing to hear people at press conference say and give honest opinions. The talk this week has been about how Collingwood are being opened up by teams too easily. Thomas said it was not news to the players. "We have had discussions about this as Bucks said in his press conference," he said. The media has caught on that we have been scored heavily against but we have been addressing it for a while.
