BREAKING NEWS: Brodie Grundy Returns to Collingwood with a Major Deal
In a surprising turn of events, Brodie Grundy, the celebrated ruckman, is set to rejoin the Collingwood Football Club after signing a significant contract. Grundy’s return has been confirmed, marking a major milestone for the Magpies as they secure one of the AFL’s top talents.
The deal comes after intense speculation about Grundy’s future, with reports suggesting the contract is one of the most lucrative for a ruckman in AFL history. The new agreement, spanning several years, underscores Collingwood’s commitment to regaining their dominance in the league by bolstering their squad with proven talent.
Grundy, a two-time All-Australian and former best-and-fairest winner, left Collingwood for Melbourne in 2022 but faced challenges during his stint there. Despite a solid individual performance, his role within the Demons’ structure was questioned, leading to discussions about his return.

In a statement, Grundy expressed excitement about rejoining the Magpies, citing a strong connection with the team and its passionate fan base. “Collingwood has always felt like home. I’m eager to get back to work and contribute to the club’s future success,” he shared.
This move is expected to have a substantial impact on Collingwood’s prospects for the upcoming season, as Grundy’s elite skills and leadership qualities will be integral to their game strategy. Fans are equally thrilled, viewing his return as a significant boost to their premiership aspirations.
For Collingwood, this signing not only strengthens their lineup but also signals their determination to remain at the top of the competition. As pre-season preparations begin, all eyes will be on Grundy and the Magpies to see how they leverage this reunion to achieve their goals in 2024 and beyond.
