Greiser earned the nickname "G-Train" (a nickname also used to describe former St Kilda footballer Fraser Gehrig) after kicking a long-range goal in the Saints' round three victory over Melbourne at Moorabbin Oval.[3][4]
She was the AFLW's leading goalkicker in 2020 with 10 goals.[citation needed] In April 2020, she was named an All-Australian.[5] The 2020 AFL Women's season saw Greiser obtain her first AFL Women's All-Australian team selection, named in the full forward position.[6][7]
