Green was drafted by Fremantle with their second selection and thirteenth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[1] She made her debut in the thirty-two point loss to the Western Bulldogs at VU Whitten Oval in the opening round of the 2017 season.[2] She played the first two matches for the year before missing the remainder of the year due to a shoulder injury.[3] Green played in the club's opening match the following season, a twenty-six point loss to Fremantle at VU Whitten Oval.[4] She would not make it through to the following week's match however, sustaining a serious knee injury at training two days before round 2. Scans later confirmed she had sustained a season ending ruptured anterior cruciate ligament,[5] which will also sideline Green for the 2019 AFLW season.[6] Green was delisted by the Eagles on 9 June 2021, after playing 7 games with the team throughout her career.[7]
