Stats
Bio
Hailing from Heyfield in Gippsland, Bill Green arrived at Punt Road as a highly rated country defender who had already tasted significant local success. A sturdy centre-half back standing 183cm, he was thrown straight into the action for a Round 1 debut against Melbourne in 1953. While he struggled to cement a permanent spot in the senior lineup, managing just 10 games across two seasons, Green proved a defensive pillar for the club's lower grades, notably featuring in the Tigers' 1954 reserves premiership side. He departed the VFL the following year to become a genuine star in the VFA with Moorabbin, where he claimed two Best and Fairest awards and a 1957 flag, validating his ability as a high-quality key backman.
