Fevola, 28, said he also wanted to play for St Kilda before Carlton and Brisbane ultimately resuscitated a deal that saw the former Blue move to the Gabba exchange for pick No.12 and emerging tall Lachie Henderson.
"I wanted to go to the Pies, but Eddie couldn't get a deal done. I don't think the Blues wanted to deal with the Pies. It would have been nice to stay in Melbourne, but that's the beauty of our game, it's a national game and you can go anywhere.
"I would have loved to have gone to the Saints as well, but I don't think they could have fit me in the salary cap. But when Brisbane came up and the way they've traded, it was just a win-win for both clubs and to come up here away from Melbourne with the beautiful weather and the wife loving Brisbane, it made it a little easier."
