Fergus Greene (born 20 December 1997) is anAustralian rules footballer who currently plays for theSandhurst Football Club in theBendigo Football Netball League (BFNL). He previously played for theWestern Bulldogs andHawthorn in theAustralian Football League (AFL), making his debut in round 19 of the2018 season.[2]
Greene played junior football forSandhurst andCatholic College Bendigo. In 2015, he suffered anavicular bone injury, but returned in 2016 and played well in the first half of the season. He was recruited by theBendigo Pioneers and played fiveTAC Cup games in 2016.[3] He recorded a 15.6beep test at the Rookie Me Combine, the best time recorded nationally before the2016 AFL draft.[4] He was selected by the Western Bulldogs with their fourth selection, pick 70, in the2016 national draft.[4]
In 2017, he kicked three goals on hisVictorian Football League (VFL) debut in round 4[5] and followed up with five goals againstWerribee the next week.[6] However, he was restricted to eight VFL games for the year by a brokenwrist – which kept him out for eight weeks – andcracked ribs later in the season.[5] In 2018, he played in the inauguralAFLX pre-season competition[7] and showed strong form in his first nine VFL matches. Coach Steve Grace was "super pleased" with Greene and praised his maturity and mental improvement.[8] He played 14 VFL matches and kicked 18 goals before his round 19 AFL debut.[4] On debut, Greene kicked a goal from a 30 m (98 ft) set shot in the second quarter,[9] laid five tackles and amassed five disposals.[2]
Greene had been compared to fellow Bulldogs forwardTory Dickson – the two were both late developers and have reliable set shot routines, innate 'goal sense' and forward pressure.[4]
Greene was delisted at the conclusion of the2020 AFL season after playing just 5 games, all in the2018 AFL season.[10]
Greene played for theBox Hill Hawks in the VFL in 2021 and 2022.[11] He kicked 30 goals in 2021 and 53 goals in 2022, and was signed by Hawthorn as a delisted free agent at the end of the2022 VFL season.[11] He was delisted at the end of the2023 AFL season after kicking 15 goals from 11 games.
Following his AFL delisting, Greene returned toSandhurst for the 2024Bendigo Football Netball League (BFNL) season.[12] He was part of the club's 2024 premiership victory overGisborne.[13][14]
