Pretty sure he is just saying stuff to get a bigger deal.
I'd say he told his manager "I want to stay at Collingwood"
And the manager said "Don't tell them that, make up like you are thinking of leaving.. they will give you an extra million and I'll get my 5% commission baby!!"
Exactly. Connors bloody hates the Pies too, so that doesn't help. Grundy was smashing it, so Connors approached us about a contract extension a while back. We gave our offer, Connors thought he could get a longer deal. Tough to do, when there's only one other suitor, namely the Crows and they really appear like they may be shedding some older players and looking at a reload not rebuild. Resigning ROB to a 3 year deal, I think, indicates to me they'll be plying their cap space elsewhere, than the ruck.Pretty sure he is just saying stuff to get a bigger deal.

GWS sniffing.?
GWS sniffing.?
And they've already got the 4th or 5th best ruck in the comp...and improvingCrows never even paid 1m for any player. Cant see them going 1.6
Say goodbye to Darcy Moore & DeGoey in the next two years.Grundy going no where, all the club is doing is working out the payment structure for his next contract based on who we have to resign and who we might be after next year. I doubt a deal will be done until sometime next year but am not fussed.
Reports he is about to sign a 7 year deal. That’s a long contract for a ruck.
But end of the day he is a gun and worth a long term investment.
Agree - at a mill a year he would have left a lot on the table as well. If he is as durable as Goldy it’s a massive win for the Pies.Ruckman like him don't come around very Often.
Its the buddy contract - if you get 5 great years and he slows down in the last 2 then so be it.******* irresponsible contract, IMO. To expect a ruckman to have 10 consecutive elite seasons (based on finances) is preposterous!
To clarify for those that will go “huh 10?”. He’s had 2 already and the 7 year contract starts in 2021 so that’s likely 3 before the contract starts (I expect he maintains the rage in 2020 obviously). That contract covers 3 EBA’s and will probably see a 19th club introduced before it’s done.
The only silver lining is that going there this early indicates we’re pretty content with how things will play out with JDG and Moore plus it removes some of the media circus.
