Before his AFL career, Reville worked full-time jobs such as cutting meat at an abattoir and driving a forklift at Bunnings to support himself while pursuing his football dream. His journey to the AFL was marked by persistence and overcoming adversity, including injuries and being repeatedly overlooked in national drafts.
