kangaroos.com.au says
A knee injury in North's first pre-season game set Grima back once again and delayed his return to the senior side until Round 8.
Once fit, Grima quickly recaptured his top form while shutting down the opposition's key forwards. His 12 consecutive games made it his longest injury free run since debuting in 2009.
Grima also notched a career high of 29 disposals in Round 12 against Gold Coast, but he's still searching for that ever elusive first career goal after 55 games. He is currently the only player on the list with more than five senior games who hasn't kicked a goal.
Quotes
"Coming out of Longford, he was not drafted initially and ended up playing in a SANFL flag with Central District. Grima worked day jobs before North rookied him at 22."

"I've definitely been lucky I've been at a footy club that has supported me at every opportunity to play as much football as I can"
