Grover and out

[Dr Pepper]

I really hope the club can find an off-field role for him, his courage and attitude on and off the field was nothing short of exemplary. He might also be handy at helping any future indigenous recruits.

 

[Clay Davis]

You need a woman.

Is the fine lass in your avatar free?

 

[Crippa]

What an incredibly courageous player and utterly beautiful human being...

Would be great if he does at Freo - he is doing that now at Subiaco mentoring younger players.

If sooz was beside yakka in the cot, I wouldn't blame him one bit for thinking about Antoni.

I wouldn't blame anyone!!

woah

Met him have you??

Crippa may be a lady, I have no ****ing idea.

But AG is one of natures gentlemen. Genuinely terrific guy.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

good player who got the most out of himself and set the tone for courage and hardness.

200+ games ain't no easy feat, well done Groves on a great career

 

[estibador]

Yep. Only a slip of a lad when he left the bush for the delights Balga in the '80's

Meeka to Balga - talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.

 

[Grockadoc]

Wow, didn't even know he had played 200 games. Fantastic effort from Antoni. Just goes to show how hard work, dedication, commitment and and 100% effort on and off the field can give you a decent AFL career. Which is an impressive feat. Has played more games than players with much much more talent than what Antoni has, because of these personality traits. Great person, and tremendous clubman.

Hmmmm...I'm not so sure about that, esti.

 

[estibador]

Meeka looked quite peaceful all those times I drove through there............ at 3am in the morning.

 

[Moo]

You've been super Grover

 

[Alfonz]

Would have been nice if we had a team who all tried as hard as Grover.

Should use him as a runner in the finals and get him to scare opposition players.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Will finally be free to fight Chops.

[Schauermann]

Unsung hero. All the best.

 

[DockerLand1]

Unsung hero. All the best.

Champion player who slugged it out in our back line often without much assistance when we were getting smashed.
Great person and great clubman. All the best to you Groves! Thank you for your tremendous dedication to the purple!

 

[Nickos66]

Congrats Grover, all the best in retirement.

Could he step in against Melb if McPhee doesn't pass his concussion tests??

Edit: Jeez, what's up with Elvis? It looks like he's gone a few rounds with Danny Green, black eye, swollen jaw, it almost looks like his mouth is packed with gauze.

 

[freo84]

Grover was one player who you always knew was going to give 200% every game.

Well done on a great career mate. All the best

Surprised the North fans didn't boo him for getting hit in the face by one of their players.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

good on ya groves. end of an era. it's blokes like antoni and troy cook who i've always admired above others for making the most of their talent and playing with heart.

 

[Freomaniac]

Always punched above his weight. Glad he stuck through with us in the Struggling times. Im going to miss him. Living in SA its a Shame I wont see him Play his last game.

I was very fortunate to See Troy Cook play his last AFL game at AAMI against port in round 22, 2007.

Please Ross Lyon show some heart and Play Grover. Were Playing Melbourne. Hell the demons wont be interested in Winning this week so what do we have to lose?

 

[Tazmania]

Bump.

I work with Grover at Sport and Rec and just wanted to confirm he is a really nice chap. I saw video the other day of him and Gehrig (St Kida version) punching on and had a laugh. I passed him in the corridor and mentioned it to him and he had a laugh. I asked what he was saying to him and he just said he was stirring him up about losing it.

Groves is very humble and seems embarrassed when discussing his achievements. Exactly what you want in a professional sportsperson.

The bit about him ready to leave to go to north because of Connolly is very interesting.
