Malcolm Greenslade is a former Australian rules football player who played two matches in the VFL for the Richmond Football Club in 1971.
Greenslade made his name as a goalkicking forward with the Sturt Football Club in the SANFL. During his 215 game career with the Double Blues he kicked 607 goals, led their goalkicking on five occasions and played in their 1967, 1969 and 1970 premiership sides. Later in his career he moved to full-back and played his final three seasons for Glenelg. In 1981, his final season, he was captain and best & fairest for the Glenelg reserves premiership side.
His two VFL games came whilst he was on National Service training in Melbourne. Kicking one goal against the Saints on debut, the next week he and fellow Sturt footballer and conscript, Michael Nunan, played for Richmond against South Melbourne and Greenslade kicked six goals. He and Nunan then returned to Sturt. In just his two games at Tigerland Greenslade got a nomination for "Mark of the Century" during Richmond's century year of VFL/AFL competition.
