The forward spent more time across the wing through the middle of the season, under coach Luke Beveridge’s mantra of versatility.
He assumed his normal role in the forward line in the latter parts of 2015, where he produced his best game for the season in round 20.
Notching up 20 disposals and three goals in the Dogs’ round 20 win against Melbourne, Grant kicked all three majors in the opening term.
The stat that mattered:
Grant collected a season-high 22-disposals in the Bulldogs’ Round 12 72-point win, with a career-high six tackles in round six against Port Adelaide.
What they said:
“I’ve spent most of my career as a forward, you’ve obviously got a dour defender following you around for most of the day. The wing gives you a lot more freedom, and the ability to cover the whole ground, I’ve enjoyed it.” – Grant in July 2015
