Early career

Reeves's father is the Hawthorn CEO, Justin Reeves, and the club invited him for pre-season training. Hawthorn could see potential in him so he was selected by Hawthorn in the pre-season supplementary selection period.[1][2]

AFL career

Reeves' AFL career started by playing with the Hawthorn affiliate Box Hill Hawks in the Victorian Football League (VFL). In 2021 he was considered one of the most in-form ruckmen in the VFL competition and made his AFL debut against Carlton at the MCG,[3] becoming Hawthorn's tallest ever player.[4]
