The Brodie Grundy speculation continues to heat up.

Today, Mathew Lloyd chipped in with his two cents.ย  He says that itโ€™s not a situation that simply revolves around whether Grundy would like to return home to South Australia, but rather a situation about Grundy getting what he thinks he is worth: a seven-year contract.

โ€œIf they donโ€™t come to the party on that seven years, he is not signing. Iโ€™m big on the fact that other clubs will offer seven and he expects Collingwood to offer seven,โ€ Lloyd said on Telstra AFL Trade Radioย this morning.

Grundy is contracted for 2020 but has been publicly verbal through his manager Robbie Dโ€™Orazio about his wishes to sign a seven-year deal.

While there has been speculation of a return to his home state for the leagueโ€™s premiere ruckman, Lloyd says other clubs will come to the table with big offers that may change the optics of the situation.

โ€œYes (I could see him player for another Victorian club). Itโ€™s about him getting what he thinks is fair and thatโ€™s not necessarily about Adelaide and home ties, itโ€™s about him getting what he thinks is satisfactory for the best ruckman in the competition and a two-time best and fairest winner.โ€

Only time will tell what happens next for Grundy, but you can bet your bottom dollar the longer this drags on, the more the media will speculate.
