Hello Rimail, there is a loop walk that you might enjoy which is currently closed after fire damage, but which might have reopened when you plan to be walking next March. This is in the Mt Difficult Range, linking Troopers Creek, Mt Gar, Briggs Bluff and Long Point campsites.
Otherwise, north-north-west’s suggestion is good, though some people comment unfavourably on the final leg, from Jimmy Creek back on Ingleton Track to the starting point. Of course, this can be avoided by going back the way you came instead. I know some people only want a circuit not an out-and-back, but I can’t see the point in that if (a) a significant distance of the total is not so attractive, and (b) the other part is so nice you really ought to do it twice anyway! Going in the opposite direction means the views are different.
The same logic (yes, logical for me but others may think otherwise) applies to the walk suggested by neilmny. Day 3 is a very boring route and will not be part of the ultimate GPT route. But perhaps a more notable issue for you with this one is that you could do days 1 and 2 in one day without much trouble if you like an eight-hour day. Plus you’ll have the distraction of many day-tourists on the first section, and there’s a fee to camp. Sorry, I don’t know what that cost is, because I am just not interested in that sort of camping so can’t be bothered looking it up.
Finally, a lot of the best Grampians walks are really one-day affairs, so that's what I'd really recommend, apart from the first one I mentioned if that becomes a possibilty next year.
