Stats
Bio
Hailing from Western Suburbs in Sydney, Greg Sharp arrived at Carlton as a rangy utility facing the formidable task of cracking a premiership-calibre lineup. Standing 192cm, he offered an unusual profile for the era—a tall player capable of patrolling the wing or defence with deceptive speed and athleticism rather than playing solely as a key post. However, his tenure at Princes Park coincided with the Blues' dominance of the early 1980s, and he found himself stuck behind a wall of established stars, managing just 11 senior games across three seasons. Sharp sought a fresh start by crossing to St Kilda in 1984, but he was unable to cement a regular spot at Moorabbin, adding six games to his tally before his time at the elite level came to a close.
