Past #17: Nathan Grima

[Kimbo]

5-6 weeks according to AFL site.

I'm still absolutely astounded that someone coming off back surgery is going to be right to play AFL footy in the same year. Sounds precarious.

5-6 weeks according to AFL site.

Yep, but that's 5-6 weeks away from beginning proper training, according to him on the coverage at halftime, so he's still a fair way from being ready to play.

 

[Black2Blue]

As usual sounded great in the commentary box. Could have a future as a commentator if he just gets rid of those insightful comments and sensible analyses. He would have learned plenty sitting alongside those masters of hyperbole and inane chatter.

Tbh he'll struggle to get back in if the rest stay fit

I love Narni. But I just dont feel his body can hold up to AFL football anymore. Who would you drop out of Thompson, Tarrant, Hanse and Spud anyway? If Tarrant stays fit I would rather get more games into this 25yo than an injury riddled 30yo as harsh as it sounds.

 

[boneofshin]

At the very least he'll be very reliable backup when he gets back to fitness. I'm sure he wouldn't have bothered going through rehab again and would have simply retired if he thought he was no shot at getting back into the senior team, so I suppose that's something.

 

[hilly]

I reckon a spot on the rookie list awaits. I mean that in a positive way.

By Grima on MMM. He's done at end of this year.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Was really hoping for 100 games. Well played Grimey.

 

[Flawed Genius]

He's confirmed he's retiring?

Grima looking up. On MMM 3:30min

He's confirmed he's retiring?

Don't think he said so in as many words. Certainly gave the impression that he's facing up to the likelihood that this will be his last year. I'm holdng out hope that he feels so good by the end of the season that he wants to go around again and the club will accommodate him. It will be a real shame for him to fall just short of 100.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Get this man to 100 games. The Grima's have a good family tree of producing solid footballers!

 

[ThePezDispenser]

BOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!

 

[The Nostradamus]

He's confirmed he's retiring?

No he didn't confirm it, said he thinks it a good chance being realistic due to age and injuries

Going a bit early with the thread title change, needs a lot to go well but still a chance to play next year

Hooray. The panel's evened out between intelligence and tomfoolery.

Hope he doesn't have a bathroom accident.

Some scumbags have robbed his place he is renovating TWICE! Stole thousands of dollars worth of tool among other things. Some people are just cowards.

Bloody pricks. This is his joint in Tassie right?

 

[HongKongRoo]

He should keep playing, his overall power ranking has improved since he's been out.

Dont think so, I believe it's the house he is renovating in Melbourne.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He just said on channel 9 that he hasnt even started running yet.
