As a junior with Gippsland Power in the TAC Cup, Gram quit football for basketball with a view to making the elite level in that sport.

It took one phone call from the Power coach of the day, dual Essendon premiership player Darren Bewick, to reverse his decision.

But in two years, both of which culminated in Lions' premierships, Gram was chosen for only two games, amounting to 20 minutes of total playing time.

Gram watched on as St Kilda FC won the 2004 Wizard Home Loans Cup to begin his first season at the Saints.

Gram played a further 5 games in 2005, his best performance being a 19 disposal effort against his former team the Brisbane Lions, in a match St Kilda FC won by a club record 139 points.

Gram averaged 20.5 possessions per game in 2006, finishing second in the St Kilda Football Club Best & Fairest Trevor Barker Award.

He was awarded the Michael Tuck Medal for his best player on the ground performance during St Kilda FC's 2008 National Australia Bank Cup Premiership.

In October 2012, Gram had his contract terminated prematurely by St Kilda after being arrested by police for breaching an intervention order placed by his then estranged wife Sarah.
