The situation surrounding Brodie Grundy and his contract extension with Collingwood is getting murkier, according to SEN Breakfast’s Sam Edmund.

Grundy is contracted for 2020, but reportedly wants a seven-year extension, while the Pies only wish to offer three.

“This could rage on into next year and get quite messy as the standoff is no closer to being resolved,” he told SEN Breakfast.

“In fact, so firm are both parties that it is hard to see it getting resolved at the moment.

“Grundy wants a seven-year deal. Collingwood is only willing to offer three.

“Time is on their side, but those comments from the All-Australian ruckman earlier this week that Adelaide holds real appeal and there’s some temptation and family there haven’t done anything to bring the two parties together.

“They tried briefly in the wake of those comments and Collingwood said nup, not interested, we’re not going anywhere with it.

“So, neither party is budging. It’s going to be interested in seeing what happens from here.”
