AFL career
He made his debut for Hawthorn in their fifty-two point win against Fremantle at Domain Stadium in round eighteen of the 2017 season.[2] Glass was widely seen as performing well in his debut.[4] Glass performed well throughout the rest of the season,[5] and on August 2, 2017, he signed a two-year rookie/player contract extension to stay on Hawthorn's rookie list until the end of 2018.[6]
Glass played only four senior games in 2018, but despite this was seen as having improved his skills during the year.[7]
Glass was elevated to the senior list in 2019. Glass kicked his first goal during the 2019 season, during Hawthorn's round 13 loss to Essendon.[8]
