Stats
Bio
Recruited from Cohuna Union in the Murray River region, Greg Major was a tall key position prospect who bolstered Geelong's defensive stocks in the late 1950s. Standing 188cm, he possessed the size to match up against the league's larger forwards, typically operating in the back pocket or as a key defender. He established himself as a regular member of the senior lineup during the 1960 season, playing 17 games under captain-coach Bob Davis as the Cats looked to climb from the cellar. Despite showing promise as a structural pillar in defence, Major's VFL tenure was short-lived, concluding after three seasons and 28 appearances before he departed the top level at just 23 years of age.
