Career
Grace joined Fitzroy in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1890. He played as a full-forward and dominated Fitzroy"s goalkicking during his time at the club, winning the club"s leading goalkicker award every year from his debut through until 1896. He was also the league"s leading goalkicker in his first two seasons, 1890 and 1891.
After Fitzroy broke away from the VFA to join the new Victorian Football League (VFL) competition, Grace spent a further three seasons at Fitzroy, playing in Fitzroy"s 1898 and 1899 premierships.
By this stage of his career, he played often as a ruckman, spending less time at full-forward than he had earlier in his career. He retired at the end of 1899.
