‘I’ll be making plenty of phone calls to mum and friends who have had babies and will just go on from there,’ he said.
‘I don’t think I’ve thought about it too much, I’m just taking it in. Once it comes I’m sure it’s going to be a big shock to the system.
‘(Life) will be a little bit harder but a lot of the boys have done it throughout my time in the AFL. It’s something you’ve got to deal with, you might lose a few hours of sleep here or there, but that’s alright.
‘I’ve done a full pre-season so the body is good to go. It’s just about managing it when I have to and I’m sure Georgia will be super accommodating as well.
‘She’ll be a super good mum.’
Greene also said footy hasn’t been on his mind too much of late.
‘I haven’t thought too much about the season starting to be honest,’ Greene said. ‘It’s more been the lead-up to having the baby.
‘Hopefully, it’s a smooth birth and everyone’s happy and healthy and then can start to think a bit more about round one.

‘But I’m sure the boys will be in good stead on Thursday and starting to play our way.
‘I’m still getting my head around it. It’s more nerve-racking for Georgia, that’s for sure. But all good to go on Thursday so hopefully it’s all good.’
The Giants will get first crack at the reigning premiers, as they host Collingwood in the ‘Opening Round’ on March 9 at GIANTS Stadium.
