Green started his VFL career with Carlton and was used as a key position player.[1] During this time he earned selection for the Victorian interstate side.[1] He moved to Hawthorn for the 1934 season and played at full-forward, a position he had success in prior to his VFL career, having once kicked 118 goals in a season with the University Blacks. In his first season at Hawthorn he kicked a club record 80 goals.[1] It remained a record until 1968 when it was bettered by Peter Hudson.[2] He again topped Hawthorn's goal-kicking the following season with 63 goals.[2]
