Senior Players List

Season by Season

• Green resumed with the Lions Reserves at the beginning of 2012, but proved a step above the State League level by dominating games in the midfield.    

• It took until Round 8 for him to get a senior call-up, and he rewarded selectors with an 18-disposal performance against GWS.  

• He proceeded to play seven consecutive senior matches, which included a match-winning effort against West Coast when he came on as the substitute in the final quarter and kicked three quick goals to help cause one of the upsets of the season.

• A brief stint back in the Reserves between Rounds 16-18 was followed by possibly his best stretch of games. He played in each of the Lions’ final five games of 2012, kicking eight goals and averaging over 14 touches as a small forward.

• His 2012 season ended up producing 12 senior matches – an increase from the five he played in his debut year – and his first top 20 Club Champion finish (19^th).  

• Green made an immediate impression during his first pre-season with the Lions, and earned a place in the Club's NAB Cup pre-season side, before commencing his career with the Lions Reserves side in the NEAFL.  

• He dominated the opening months of the NEAFL season and, at one stage, even led the Syd Guildford Trophy for the competition's best player.

• His form soon demanded senior selection, and it came his way in Round 9 when he was named in the Lions' senior side against North Melbourne at the Gabba. Green collected 12 disposals on a wet night and was part of the team's maiden win for 2011.

• He went on to play five consecutive senior matches (averaging 11.2 disposals) before being sent back to the NEAFL to continue his development.

• But an ankle strain suffered against Aspley kept Green sidelined him for a month. He returned by Round 19 and played out the remaining matches with the Lions Reserves.
