Nathan Grima retires

One game a career does not make

No, but one post a dickhead does make.

Hope he gets a gig with Fox Footy or someone. Is an ansolute larrakin who gave it his all on the footy field. Best of luck Narni.

Sad news for such a talented footballer, not the way you'd want to exit football.

Hopefully he can continue in some other capacity, perhaps coaching.

Sad to see him go. Pretty good defender when he was fully fit but unfortunately we didn't get to see it often enough.

Hopefully he gets any support he needs off-field too, because he would've done it tough over the last 4-5 years.

will do well in the media.
One of the great characters in the afl

Post of the year.

Well played, sir.

Well played.

 

[rideclutch]

Always liked players like him who weren't superstars, but just worked hard and got the most out of themselves. Great character

 

[magpielurker10]

loved him on the bounce

Never knew he was that old.

 

[00Stinger]

Seems like a real likeable bloke in the media

 

[TwentyNine]

Great player, great bloke, great North man.

0:51 always cracks me up. Well done on a great career Narni.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I thought he was going to be a great defender early days.

Well done on battling on and giving what you could.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Robbo gave him a wrap on 360 tonight, saying it was tragic to see a 'young' defender's career cut short.

Shame. Gave it his best. At least commentators won't butcher the pronunciation of his name anymore.

It's a Southern European (Maltese) 'i' so it should be.......'Gree-mah'. Not Gry-mah.

A bit how some used to pronounce Mon-tag-na phonetically too. how do they pronounce Lasagna?

His whole family pronounces it as 'Grima'.

 

[JD1992]

Bad luck to Nathan, a really underrated player who was cruelled by injuries. To battle through 86 games in 8 years is a real test of character and resilience

Great bloke. Loved his personality. Irreverent sense of humour. Got most out of himself

Pretty freakish family as well, for a bunch out of the sleepy old town of Evendale, Tasmania.

Nathan played AFL, Alex and Todd were both drafted and Holly was an Olympic basketballer.

His old man Monty runs a good mechanical business too I hear.

He was a great backman who served North well and always gave 100%. Dare I say it, but our backline looked more solid with him in it.
His performance on Before The Game a few years ago was brilliant, he had everyone in stitches. One of the funniest moments I've seen for some time.
All the best for the future Nathan. I hope to see you taking Craig Hutchinson's position on Footy Classified in the coming weeks.

Grima will get a gig on tv. Funny campaigner.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Sadly his final act on a footy field was a man hug of Tomahawk from behind while resting his head on his shoulder, Brokeback Mountain style

29yo is young to Robbo.

 

[the dog's kennel]

One of my fave defenders. He's been seriously missed at North. Real shame he couldn't squeeze more games out of that body. Hope he makes it in the media.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Good bumble, funny, country fella. No shame in showing some promise and playing nearly 90 games in the
AFL. People are talking about him as a person almost more than as a footballer - you can't complain about being remembered that way.
