How tall is Grima and as a defender can he take a mark or does he just spoil?
Does he have much pace as we really need young defenders who have some height and toe?
Any reason why he wasn't picked in the draft, ie. what weaknesses does he have?
Thanks in advance.
192cm
He's a little undersized currently and there is a question mark over how well he would do against tougher opposition than he was up against at the championships in DIV 2 when he kicked a 10 goal bag.
His marking is good but he doesn't take enough marks overhead currently, not that he can't.
This will seem like a very strange comment but as a forward he seems to shirk a contest or two occassionally, yet when he's a defender I've seen him nearly kill himself.
His family genes seem to indicate putting on size will not be a problem.
Good speed, excellent at reading the play.
Played as a forward this year but played most of his junior footy as a back.
Rieschbieth or Iles might be more suited to what Carlton needs, but I think Grima is the next best available player.
