Taken For Granted

It did seem like he was going to have one more year, but Chris Grant decided that 18 years was enough and he has announced his retirement.
Chris Grant was one of the lowest ever draft picks to become a star in the AFL, he went at pick 105 in the 1988 draft. That was the year that Alex McDonald went at pick 1, and Leon Cameron joined the Bulldogs at pick 7.
Grant will be remembered for many things including his big marks, his goal against Essendon in 2000, the 20 cent coin story, the strange Brownlow events and his longevity at a single club.
