Antoni Grover (born 11 March 1980) is a defender for the Fremantle Dockers. 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,[1] and also had good marking abilities (finishing fifth in the team for general and contested marks in 2005).

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 puts him on track to be one of the few Fremantle players to play 200 games for the club.[2] He is currently the only Fremantle player classified as a veteran on their playing list.[3] Grover played his 200th game against North Melbourne FC in round 22 2011.
