Who is Antoni Grover?
Antoni Grover is an Australian rules footballer who played as a defender for the Fremantle Football Club. After being elevated from the rookie list in 1999, he made his debut in round 21 against the Sydney Swans. After this he became an important and consistent performer in his defence, and also had good marking abilities.
In round 4, 2003, Antoni Grover was one of seven indigenous players to represent Fremantle, the most ever to play in a single AFL team. The other indigenous players playing for Fremantle that day were Troy Cook, Jeff Farmer, Des Headland, Roger Hayden, Steven Koops and Dion Woods. This game also saw Fremantle kick its then highest ever score of 25.17 167.
Grover signed a one-year extension to his contract in October 2010 that allowed him to become one of the few Fremantle players to play 200 games for the club. In 2011 he was the only Fremantle player classified as a veteran on their playing list. Grover played his 200th game against North Melbourne in round 22 2011, becoming the fifth Docker and first indigenous player to play 200 games for the club.
Grover announced his retirement in 2012, having played 202 games for the Fremantle Football Club.
