Bio
Recruited from Newtown via Geelong College, Vic Gross was a talented key defender who anchored the Geelong backline in the immediate post-war years. Standing six feet tall, he possessed the physical attributes required for centre half-back in that era, where he became known for his strong overhead marking and long, clearing kicks. His consistent performances were rewarded with state selection for Victoria in 1921, highlighting his standing among his peers during a period when the Pivotonians were rebuilding their squad. Despite this promise and his status as a first-choice defender, Gross's time at the top level was brief, and he departed the VFL landscape after just four seasons.
