Career
A Reservoir Old Boy, Grose played as a half back flanker for Collingwood over three league seasons. He played 12 games in 1975 and a further 15 in the 1976 VFL season. By 1977 he was only a fringe player, with Collingwood building a side which would contest that year"s grand final.
Grose was then appointed captain-coach of Diamond Valley Football League club North Heidelberg in 1978.
He promptly steered them a premiership in his first season in charge, their first flag in 16 years. In 1978 he also was the league"s equal leading goal-kicker on 80 goals.
