Nathan Grima
Games: 12
Goals: 0

kangaroos.com.au says:
Going into hospital for back surgery at the beginning of the year didn’t bode well for Grima and understandably, the 26-year old struggled to perform to the high level he set for himself in 2010.

Playing his first game in round two against Collingwood, Grima was solid in defence and showed no signs he’d had no pre-season.

With confidence in his body growing, Grima had another setback after breaking his finger. He spent a month out and returned in round 13 to play Essendon, but three matches later, was sent to the VFL to find some form.

It was a five week hiatus before he again returned to the senior side in round 22 against Fremantle. Despite his turbulent season, he still managed just under 16 possessions per game.

By the numbers

Disposals: 188 (average 15.7)
Kicks: 111 (average 9.3)
Handballs: 77 (average 6.4)
Marks: 50 (average 4.2)
