David Grant (Australian rules footballer)
David Grant (born 7 August 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Australian Football League. Grant was a utility player and in 1991 was named on the half-back flank All-Australian team. Often, Grant was asked to play centre half-back in a struggling St Kilda side during the 1980s, despite standing just over . On other occasions, Grant played as an extra forward to great affect. His aerial leap in the marking contest made him stand up against taller opponents and was a favourite of the Moorabbin faithful. Grant finished second in St Kilda's best and fairest in 1989 to Nicky Winmar and played interstate football with Tasmania. Grant was to be a part of a trade deal that would see him and Jayson Daniels sent to Sydney for Barry Mitchell and a fourth-round pick for the 1993 season. Both Grant and Mitchell refused to swap clubs, and Grant stayed a further three years at St Kilda under acrimonious circumstances until he ended his career with Melbourne. External links
