    Legend Grant hopes to teach new Dogs old tricks

    How good is this, Chris Grant is back at the kennel.....

    Legend Grant hopes to teach new Dogs old tricks
    The Age | Andrea Petrie | December 2, 2009

    FORMER Western Bulldogs' great Chris Grant is returning to the Whitten Oval as part of the premiership-starved club's latest weapon to try to reach - and win - an AFL grand final.

    Grant, who booted 554 goals in 341 games for the Bulldogs between 1990 and 2007, has agreed to return to work with young, developing players.

    Grant confirmed last night he would take up a position as a mentor to several key position players, including Tom Williams, Ayce Cordy, Andrejs Everett, Jordan Roughead and Jarred Grant among others. He will also work alongside the club's assistant coaches one day a week to help the key-position players work on areas such as marking and body positioning.

    ''It'll be guys who will potentially play in the forward line or potentially play in the back line who I'll be helping out and the guys who we need to put a bit of body work into,'' Grant said.

    ''It should be good and I'm really looking forward to it. I would have liked to have done it last year but time restrictions meant that I couldn't really commit to it. This year, Rocket [coach Rodney Eade] was really keen on it and [assistant coach] Leon Cameron, who helps oversee the development of all the younger players, was also really keen, so I am thrilled to be able to help out.''

    Grant said he was especially looking forward to returning to the inner sanctum of the club.

    This is going to do wonders for Cordy, Roughead, Jones, Grant, Boumann, Mulligan, Markovic, Williams, Minson and Everitt.
    The curse is dead.

    Chris needed the time off from football to have a break, and now he has the hunger back. Its a great move and the talls are going to really benefit from this.
