Her skipper, Watt, was just as influential around the ground, amassing 16 hit-outs, 14 disposals and three marks.
The lifelong Saints fan pulled her side out of danger on several occasions, using her height and strong leap to prevent the Dees' from scoring right on the goal line.
Greiser and Watt become the first Saints to be selected in the AFLW Team of the Week.
