AFL.com.au<\/a>‘s Cal Twomey, is worth around the $9 million mark.<\/p>\nAs he’s a free agent at the end of next season, Green is expected to be a key target for Tasmania ahead of their entry into the competition in 2028, while other clubs will no doubt make a big play at the 2025 best and fairest winner.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Garry Lyon and Tim Watson on SEN Breakfast, Green, who is sidelined in 2026 with an ACL injury, revealed the number one thing that he’ll be weighing up when he makes the big call\u2026 which is ultimately team success.<\/p>\n
“The number one thing is, are we going to be successful for the vast majority of my career? I suppose,” Green told SEN Breakfast.<\/p>\n
“You obviously cannot predict 10 years ahead or however long, but the number one thing for me is – I want to win a premiership. That’s a feeling I want to have. I want to achieve the ultimate.<\/p>\n
“The number one question that I’m asking myself is, ‘Where am I best positioned to do that?’. Things like, ‘Who do I think is going to be a successful club? Where do I think we’re going to be able to have sustained success?’.<\/p>\n
“We’ve had seasons where we didn’t go too well, but we’ve had seasons where we did go really well and won finals. I know for a fact it feels a whole lot better.<\/p>\n
“I’m a very competitive person, and there is no better feeling than winning. I want to be a part of a side that’s going to be winning consistently.”<\/p>\n
Having played all of his career for perhaps the AFL’s least-followed team in GWS, Green was asked by Watson whether he’s envious of players who get to play in front of big crowds at the MCG.<\/p>\n
Green’s answer could buoy the likes of Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton and others who regularly play in the biggest games on the big stage.<\/p>\n
“Complete transparency, yeah, it does (make me envious),” Green answered.<\/p>\n
“But there are a few things: I love playing at GIANTS Stadium, and I absolutely love our fans, it’s one of my favourite grounds to play at, not just because it’s our home ground. You see some of the great finals that we’ve had there which have been a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
“But I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say every single time I came to the MCG, and I walk out on the ground before the game and look around, you get a bit of a kick out of that.<\/p>\n
“Seeing those massive crowds that teams get regularly and having played in front of a few in some finals, it’s a feeling you really can get addicted to, and you’d like to do it as often as you can.<\/p>\n
“Seeing those games, even those regular-season games, it is something that’s very, very cool. Who doesn’t love playing in front of big crowds?”<\/p>\n
While Green hasn’t had any in-depth conversations with rival clubs about his future, he has approached GWS already to get on the same page as the club about where they see their list going forward.<\/p>\n
“In terms of from other clubs, I haven’t had any sort of in-depth contact or insight, and there hasn’t been a presentation or anything like that (from GWS), but I’m not going to die wondering, I’d rather ask and be told no,” Green said.<\/p>\n
