Bio
Hailing from a significant footballing family, Ernie Greeves was the brother of Geelong veteran Ted Greeves and the uncle of inaugural Brownlow Medallist Edward "Carji" Greeves. His own senior career was restricted to a brief cameo for St Kilda during the 1899 season, where he managed just two appearances and a single goal during a difficult winless campaign for the club. While he did not enjoy the longevity of his brother or the accolades of his nephew, Greeves remains a footnote in league history as an early representative of one of the game's most decorated dynasties.
