Stats
Bio
Recruited from local club Newtown, Graeme Gross was a diminutive rover and small forward who received a brief opportunity during Geelong's disastrous 1958 season. Standing just 171cm and possessing a slight frame, he was elevated from the reserves as the Cats endured a wooden spoon campaign that saw them cycle through numerous recruits in search of a spark. Gross made two senior appearances in the forward pocket but struggled to impact the scoreboard in a side that was often overwhelmed by the opposition. Unable to cement a place in the 22, his VFL tenure ended after that solitary season, leaving him as one of many players tried and tested during a difficult transitional period for the club.
