[2] Greaves played three games for Western Australia during the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in 2018. [3] A natural right footer, his father used to offer him 50 cents for every left foot kick he attempted thus made him capable with both feet. [4] Greaves was picked in the 2019 rookie draft by Hawthorn. [5]
Greaves' AFL career started by playing with the Hawthorn affiliate Box Hill Hawks, here under the tutelage of Hawthorn aligned coaches he spent his first year developing for the rigors of AFL football.
