Early career

A country kid at heart he played much of his junior football in Busselton before setting up to play for the East Perth Colts. [1] Greaves played three games for Western Australia during the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in 2018. [2] 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. [3] Greaves was picked in the 2019 rookie draft by Hawthorn. [4]


AFL career

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. A hard-working player with a penetrating kick he reads the game well. He is composed with the ball in hand and makes good decisions providing defensive rebound.

Greaves had to negotiate a difficult Covid-19 affected season. He showed promise during the pre-season games and with scratch matches against other AFL clubs. His patience was rewarded with a round 16 debut against St Kilda. [5]
