[AmericanMustard]

Media is Desperate to get Grundy our of Collingwood

I’m not sure what’s worse, the article or Jarmen thinking they were okay for a half

He ain’t going anywhere

Well if Grundy did request a trade, it’s 2 firsts and a player.

That won't Happen

 

[Go Woods]

That won't Happen

Certainly hope not.

 

[ClaytonM]

That won't Happen

I think that is wishful thinking. Probably will not happen but Grundy will be weighing up more than just the dollars. The pull of home will be part of that. How strong that is only Grundy knows.

We will find out what he is Doing Next Year. Doubt he would ask for a Trade this Off-Sesaon and Club won't either

 

[jmac70]

Contract expires at the end of next year, that’s a long time to stress.

Relax and enjoy the now man.

 

[Bramax]

Grundy has been quoted before saying he wants to be a Collingwood Premiership player.
If we win the flag this year, he may feel he’s accomplished his goal and seek a trade back home.
Being the best ruckman in the league and a Premiership player, he would command some sort of a trade.

The relationships he has at Collingwood that this article outlines, would indicate to me this guy is going nowhere!!

Brodie Grundy: A cool competitor

Collingwood's Brodie Grundy is a curious man who plays football with great spirit and attacks life with an open mind.

The relationships he has at Collingwood

Can’t see the article however, I was literally thinking the same thing.
That coupled with him saying, (last year) he’s looking forward to playing the next 100 games for the club.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Perhaps the issue is not so much if he is staying (that's assured) perhaps the negotiations are more about the length of this particular contract

 

[Anzacday]

Seems that’s the case.
If he’s staying for unders, then it’s reasonable for him to expect longer term security.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Hmm...Sam Edmond on SEN just said Brodie is wanting a 7 year deal

Sounds about right

 

[Scodog10]

I’m ok with 7 so long as he’s taking a hit on $$$. When you’re talking that sort of timeframe you potentially work through three EBA’s and whilst I know he’ll get there it would be a nightmare scenario for us to end in a similar situation to Sydney on Buddy who’s contractually owed $3.9 million over the next three years (as per Andy Maher).

He won't.

Hard to work out his Contract as we also have Moore and De Goey coming out of Contract and they would also want a very good Contract

I hope he is one day Collingwood captain

SO IF a Team offers Grundy a Buddy Deal you be more then happy to let him walk?

 

[Unknown Identity]

I wouldn't offer any player 7 years.
It's ludicrous and i'm surprised he want's a deal of that length.

5 year deal should be the max we offer on decent coin.

 

[Copeland]

Interesting. Is he in the leadership group and would he even want to be captain.

 

[Anzacday]

I wouldn't offer any player 7 years.

Purely for the sake of discussion...
Let's assume we deemed him to be worth $1-$1.1m a season and offered a 3 year deal.
Would you be happy paying him $850-$900k for 6 years?

 

[Scodog10]

SO IF a Team offers Grundy a Buddy Deal you be more then happy to let him walk?

Yep. In that scenario we’d match and then orchestrate a trade commensurate with the contract offer (2 x top 10 picks + a best 22 player or 2 best 10 players and a 1st round pick).

I’d identify two major issues with that question:

1. No club will offer that
2. Grundy’s going to stay

None of our big 3 will leave, but some of the lower hanging fruit will eventually be lost (Cox, Daicos, Scharenberg, Sier, JT etc.) guys that can get guaranteed game time elsewhere and have their contract size doubled.

I don't have an issue with it in this instance. You'd imagine he'd take less for the added security and that the year-2-year salary would be in decline in the final years. Would only be 32 going into his final year.
