Earlier this year the Magpies star hinted he was unlikely to be a regular in the social pages during the off-season.

“I’m not really one for these holidays where you go and party,” Grundy said in Grand Final week.

“I see it as a journey of self and have some good conversations along the way.

“If we go all the way on Saturday and climb this mountain, it’d be a cool thing to back it up in a few weeks and go and do base camp.”

“I haven’t actually told the footy club. Maybe there’s some clearance or something that I need to get.”

We assume the Pies gave him the all clear!
