Hawks youngster Damon Greaves is determined to solidify his place in the senior side in 2021.

Taken with Pick 13 in the 2019 rookie draft, Greaves demanded an AFL opportunity by the end of last season, going on to play the final three games of 2020.

With that taste of senior action, the 20-year-old said he wants to continue the momentum and pick up where he left off.

"I think just to play a little bit more senior footy is a goal and hopefully cementing my spot in the 22 there this year," Greaves said. 

"I definitely want to build on my form towards the back end of last year.

"Getting that experience has set me up well for this year so hopefully that can carry through to games and I'll play as much senior footy as I can."

The form the Western Australian speaks of was incredibly impressive. 

Between Rounds 16 to 18 last year, the young Hawk returned averages of 17.4 disposals and 90.4 per cent disposal efficiency – numbers no one else in the league could match.

Playing predominantly in the backline, Greaves also averaged at an outstanding 6.7 rebound 50s across these three outings. 

He says he is again training with the defenders, foreseeing a tough battle in the pursuit of a Round 1 team. 

"I think I will be stationed down there at half-back and playing that role.

"I love it down there and we have a good, young crew which I think is really looking good this year.

"There's always competition, you're never going to get an easy run into the best 22 so you've certainly got to work for your position."
