WESTERN Bulldogs forward Jarrad Grant will miss the start of the 2014 season after breaking his foot at training on Friday.

It is a case of bad luck for the former No.5 draft pick who had struggled to cement his place in the Bulldogs' line-up until late last season.

AFter breaking into the line-up in Round 16, Grant hit a three-week purple patch when he kicked 10 goals from Rounds 18-20 culminating in a 24-disposal, four-goal performance against Carlton.

According to the club's medical services manager Andrew McKenzie, Grant needed surgery to stabilise the foot.
