Brad Green (footballer)

Brad Green (born 13 March 1981) is a former Australian rules football player and current executive.

Green was named Melbourne's captain for the next season, but the appointment was short-lived as he held the position for only one year.

[6] Green only began playing Australian rules seriously in his mid-teens – after returning from England – but his talent was obvious.

Green decided to focus his sporting attention on the local game playing for the Tassie Mariners and North Launceston.

His penetrating and very accurate left foot kicking was effective to leading forwards or in front of goals.

It took time for Green to decide if he wanted to go on and play with the Demons in 2009 but eventually signed a contract and agreeing to stay red and blue for another three years.

In 2010, Green had his best season to date, kicking 55 goals and taking 153 marks, both ranked sixth in the AFL, in a young Melbourne side to make the All-Australian squad and win his first Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Medal.

[8] Green was named the new Melbourne captain in January 2011, succeeding James McDonald, who retired at the end of 2010.

[13] On 5 November 2012, Carlton Football Club announced that Green had been appointed as a development coach under Mick Malthouse.

[15] After three years at Carlton, Green joined the North Melbourne Football Club as their defensive coach.
