Introduction
Green is a blisteringly quick midfielder who was a recruited from Tasmania. He's an impressive mark for a player of his size (177cm), has a great ability to run out a long slog in the middle and was a natural leader as a junior.

Background
• Tasmanian boy Green enjoyed an outstanding junior football career with Clarence, where he was a member of two Premiership sides and was recognised as the TSL's (Tasmanian State League) best Under 18 player. 

• He was given the honour of Captaining Tasmania's U18 side in the 2010 National Championships, and led his team towards the Division Two title. 

• Despite suffering a fractured rib and punctured lung in the final match of the Championships, Green also received Tasmania's Most Valuable Player award and was named in the National U18 All Australian team.

• He proved too good a prospect for the Lions to pass up on, and the Club eventually took him with Pick No.32 overall at the 2010 AFL National Draft.

2011
• 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.
