Brother Chad is at least rarely seen/heard from, which is probably a good thing! So much of what Kane and Graham Cornes come up with is embarrassing nonsense!

I didn't say I was against his contract. I said that brodie was saying how much he wanted to remain a Pie and how passionate he was, but it seemed that the club was taking all the risk with the contract. If you are to believe the so-called experts and he is going to be getting $1m for his last year when he's nearly 33, I said that any 33 year old in the league would be happy to sign a contract to play footy for $1m. I would suggest that if you asked the 700 players in the league now if they were happy to sign a contract right now to get $1m in their 33rd year, then I'd be suprised if anyone said no. I also wondered just how much more Brodie would get if he left the club. Would Adelaide pay $10m for 7 years? Would Port? I would think those are his only alternatives.
But these are just the figures that the experts said. What do they know? Brodie might have said that he wanted $750,000 for 7 years and it's starting to look more like a good deal - like he really gave up something to play for the Pies. So if someone has a copy of the contract, send it over and I'll tell you if i'm against it.

There'll be no surplus $$ in that contract then
evidently he only charged the club his basic rate for an assessment of the contract - so we got a great deal

Quite a few posters must have seen the contract because they know all about it

well brodie's mum was an old girlfriend of mine. I expect her to get a copy in due time and consult me about it. If that doesn't work out, Rachael Wertheim goes to my sister's hairdressing salon and she's sure to dish out all the good goss when she comes in.... so it's all a matter of time when i get to see it. I'm just not as close to the players as most people here...

Grundy is not going to be like Buddy and be 35+ when he contract has run out.
Look at Goldstein who is 32 and still seen 1 of the better Rucks in the AFL. No reason Grundy be no worse then that

Yes I did forget about Darcy Cameron from the NEAFL as being possible back up in 2020.
And another poster alluded me to that in this thread.
Cheers

I know. It's where I happen to live!! It's because of BS like those people produce that I rarely read Adelaide newspapers or listen to local radio stations! I don't have the hatred for the likes of Carlton, Essendon and Richmond that most Collingwood supporters seem to have, but I do really dislike the SA teams, simply because of the attitude that prevails here.
Out of the many dumb things I've done in my life, not moving to Melbourne (years ago) would be up there with the dumbest!
it's never too late...

What if Grundy left then others followed?
Then we should have signed them first.
I don't think that's quite how salary caps work...
If Grundy leaves we have an extra million to sign others and / or go the FA market

Grundy doesn't seem to spend his weekends with half of Colombia up his nose so might last a bit.
Yeah hang on, that is a massive massive call, that mantle - rightly - belongs to Graham Farmer. That guy revolutionised the whole ruck position and by extension probably the game.
Yeah Grundy is a unique player probably the likes the game will never see again - no doubt. Possibly the greatest ruckman for a generation maybe two but not for all time.
Anyways happy to have him signed on, keeps our slim window open.
Yep the greatest of all time tag is earned over an entire career - hopefully at least 7 years at the top to go yet. Also needs to add a little more to his already impressive resume.
You've got to love Kane Cornes' little salty cry in this morning's press.
AFL great Kane Cornes reacts to Brodie Grundy’s monster deal
Of course Kane is very concerned for Collingwood!
Probably because Brodes decided to stay where he likes it and not where Cornes wants him - back in Adelaide.
It's alright Kane, you can have him back AFTER his career at Collingwood.
Sport Thought: Is signing Grundy for seven years too big a risk?
Collingwood's decision to give ruckman Brodie Grundy the seven-year deal he desired is worth debating.
So here is another discussion being opened up about the worth of Grundy.
This writer rates midfielders and forwards above ruckmen.
He makes a fair argument. Hopefully either his assessment of a ruckman's value is incorrect or we improve in other key positions to give us greater competitiveness all over the field. It was a damned if you do damned if you don't sort of situation. I only hope we are able to satisfy the needs of De Goey and Moore.
