Nathan Grima (born 5 August 1985) is an Australian rules footballer for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
[edit] Early careerOriginally from Tasmania, Grima played for the Tassie Mariners, South Launceston, the Tasmanian Devils and Central Districts, including their 2007 SANFL premiership. Grima was then rookie-listed by North Melbourne in the 2008 AFL Rookie Draft.[1] [edit] AFL careerHe impressed in early training sessions and looked in line for a promotion before hyper-extending his knee in a marking exercise. The injury prematurely ended his season and raised doubts about his ability to retain a spot on the list.[1] Despite this injury setback, North Melbourne promoted Grima to the senior list before the start of the 2009 season[2] and the versatile defender was quick to show his potential, holding down a spot at full-back for North's reverves team, Werribee in the VFL in the early part of the season. His strong form led to Grima making his debut in round eight against Geelong.[3] Grima only missed two games for the rest of the season and combined well in defence with Scott Thompson and Scott McMahon.[4] [edit] References
