Edward "Carji" Greeves (1 November 1903 - 15 April 1963) was an Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League. He was the winner of the inaugural Brownlow Medal in 1924, for the best and fairest player in the VFL (now the Australian Football League).
Greeves played with the Geelong Football Club from 1923-31 and wore jumper number 20.
Best known by the nickname E "Carji" Greeves, he was given the nickname as a baby by a friend of the family, the New South Wales golfer Michael Scott, after he had seen Carjillo, the Rajah of Bong, a popular play of the day. [1]
Greeves was honoured with having the Geelong Football Club's Best and Fairest award named after him, the Carji Greeves Medal. In 1996 Greeves was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
Greeves represented Victoria seven times.
