With the apparition of free organization approaching toward the finish of 2020, Grundy's desire for a long haul bargain has been allowed by the Pies, who have verified their supernatural ruck until 2027.
Grundy, a double cross All Australian, has set up himself as one of the game's pre-famous large men and, at only 25 years of age, still hypothetically has his best football in front of him.
He will procure in the region of $1 million every year, making him one of the most generously compensated ruckmen in the game's history.
