Michael Reeves

Michael Reeves (born 7 February 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL)

Reeves, originally from school football at Parade College and Assumption College as well as Northern Football League club Watsonia, started at North Melbourne in the Under 19s, before making his VFL debut in 1980. From his 10 games that year he kicked 16 goals, which included two five goal hauls, both times against reigning premiers Carlton. He made another 13 appearances in 1981, then didn't play again until midway through the 1983 season, at new club Fitzroy. Fitzroy lost the preliminary final to Hawthorn and Reeves had to be taken off the field on a stretcher when he was knocked to the ground by Robert DiPierdomenico. He still made it to the wedding.

Reeves, who now works as a policeman, played for Box Hill in the Victorian Football Association after leaving the VFL.

His father John Reeves also played for North Melbourne. Two of his nephews play in the AFL, Josh Caddy playing for Richmond and Ned Reeves for Hawthorn.
