Damon Greaves (born 25 April 2000) is an Australian college football punter for the Colorado Buffaloes, having transferred from the Kansas Jayhawks.[1] He previously played Australian rules footballer for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
A country kid at heart he played much of his junior football in Busselton before setting up to play for the East Perth Colts.[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]
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.
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.[6]
