Past #17: Nathan Grima

[ROOB0Y]

Making a nice case for a captaincy with his work ethic

Calm down fella, with that logic Sierakowski is his only competition to be the skipper. He's making a nice case to be in the starting 18 and that's it.

Full Back: N. Grima
Center Half Back: L. Hansen.


Bring. on. 2012.

Look liked Scotty Thompson

Too small I reckon. Hunter is supposedly a little taller than Ayden, and quite a bit bulkier. Might have been a trainer checking his progress coming back from the reco.

 

[spurs]

It's great that Hansen is running well but I was hoping he would hit the weights more this year as he seems to get pushed off the ball too easily against blokes like Glass last year.He needs more muscle.

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

6:05 is solid for a footballer. Depends how spent he was at the end but it probably equates to about 13mins for the tan.

We're not going to run teams off their legs if he's the quickest though.

Get 6-8 of them under 5:55 and the opposition will be in trouble.

Run would be wasted at FB and has bulked up more than LH so CHB Narni. LH has to do lots more than come 4th.

You forgot the part about winning the ball. No use have blokes who can run under 5:55 without the footy.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

I wonder who the 2 players who got lapped in a 2km time trial were.

I guess Majak has made some progress since he is no longer coming last

There is no way those 2 getting lapped were part of the time trial.

Considering sub 10 minutes is a good 3km times, 6 minutes for the 2km would be pretty good.

Narni would run the tan in the mid 11's, it's mostly down hill besides the one hill. I find it easier than a track. And its 3.8km.

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

I'll put $10000 that Narni would get not get mid 11s.

So he would keep that pace for another 1.8kms, including a hill?

Guys that run 5:20 for 2k get 11:10 - 11:25 for the tan.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Could someone please let Narni know? Would love to see him have a crack at $10k

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Kennedy was definitely part of the time trial, he led the first lap before Lachie took over. I can't see him playing much AFL footy this year with a tank like that. Will need a solid first half of the year in the VFL injury free to be any chance.

The other runner was Jason Lappin.

 

[Mr Reliable]

A few on here had seemingly jumped off the Grima cruise liner.

Bad move.

Still our no:1 KP back and by a fair way.

He'll kill it this year.

Not me, grogmeister. Seeing was believing in 2010.

 

[Liam Boy]

Have you chatted to him? Great kid but I couldn't see him doing the captain thing. Came across as more the "I just want to play footy" type.

Would love to see him hit back next season, for himself as well as the team.

Before he got injured last season, there was a fair bit of hype and a few people thinking this might happen. He's since been replaced in the race by Ziebell.

edit: And on Kennedy, fair enough really, he's been nursing an ACL for a year.

 

[year of the roo]

As far as I can recall it was only Teffy that had jumped off the Grima bandwagon.

Grima, along with Black and a few others should be delisted before Ben Warren....

He's in our top 5 MVP. (Wells, Petrie, Swallow and Goldstein the others for those playing at home)

The only query is his ability to play on the bigger forwards.

Which I think is still relevant.

 

[The Gentleman]

If Grima can go back to his 2010 form, we will be top 4 next year.

An article in today's Agre re the time trial and special mention made of Sammy Wright.

Fit Grima leads intense Roos

Big year for Narni. Great to hear Wright is training the house down.

Re: Fit Grima leads intense Roos

Give him Captaincy of the backline

 

[Liam Boy]

Re: Fit Grima leads intense Roos

Let's just have a bunch of different captains for different things, like:

General Captain: Brent Harvey
Captain of the Midfield: Andrew Swallow
Captain of the Forward Line: Drew Petrie
Captain of the Back Line: Nathan Grima
Captain of the Bench: Ben Speight
Captain of Facebook: Majak Daw
Captain of Not the Supporter Base: Lindsay Thomas
Captain of Facial Expressions: Lachie Hansen
Captain of Tackling and Heavy Bumps: Levi Greenwood
Captain of Intensity and Contested Possessions: Jack Ziebell
Captain of Running and Good Kicking: Daniel Wells
Captain of Hitouts and Being Really Tall: Todd Goldstein
Captain of Missing Games due to Injury: Matt Campbell
Captain of Hype: Aaron Black

This way almost everyone gets a leadership role.

Mottram 9.49

Crawford 11.04

Narni is 0% chance of breaking 12 minutes.

I'd think we'd have a pretty poor fitness base if the fittest bloke at our club couldn't get within a minute of Crawf, albeit Crawf being a super runner.

 

[Tas]

His upper body looks huge, has he been hitting the weights?

 

[Flawed Genius]

Confirmed via NMFC's twitter and a host of others.

Length of injury not confirmed but an educated guess of 3-6 weeks.
