As Brodie Grundy’s pending move to Sydney draws closer, there remains one small but significant hurdle that all parties need to jump: Money.
Three sources close to Grundy, who were not able to talk publicly because of the sensitivity of negotiations, confirmed that he wants to join the Swans and a deal between the Demons and the Swans is expected to be reached where Melbourne will no longer pay part of Grundy’s contract.
This column can reveal that, when the deal goes through, Collingwood will seek clarity from the AFL as to whether the club can remove itself from the deal, and therefore clear the $350,000-a-year space in their future total player payments.A senior club source, who wouldn’t speak publicly due to the confidentiality of player contracts, confirmed the Magpies had discussed internally the status of Grundy’s seven-year Collingwood contract if he were to move clubs again.
President Browne, the former boss of Nine , wrote a significant portion of the AFL rules that govern the game and CEO Kelly was, alongside the likes of Paul Connors and Tom Petroro, one of the highest-profile and powerful player agents the game has seen.
