SILKY-SKILLED Demon Brad Green believes Sunday's thrilling one-point win over the Brisbane Lions at the MCG was one of the greatest wins he has been involved with at the club since he debuted in 2000.

Green, who shone in Melbourne's second win of the season, said there was in "no doubt" it was a win to savour.

"With the lack of experience and the tough year that we're having, wins like that are special. You can go all the way back [to the start of your career] and it's up there," Green told melbournefc.com.au.
"To get a second win, and the way we did it, with our tenacity at Brisbane all day, was great."

Despite being Melbourne's most experienced player against the Lions, Green said it was still an edgy time being involved in such a close game, but he relished the situation.

"It's a nervous time to play footy, but it's a fantastic time too, getting the challenge and saying: 'Right let's take this game on' and when it comes off and you win, it's the most fantastic feeling you can ever get, apart from playing and winning finals and grand finals," he said.

Green said without the likes of David Neitz, Adem Yze, Jeff White, Russell Robertson and James McDonald – all 2008 listed players in the club's top 17 games record holders – it was a vastly different feel in the side.

"The side we had out there, Cameron Bruce was the oldest at 28 and you think to yourself: 'Where are all of the old guys?'" Green said.

"To be in front all day and then be down by 11 points and then to fight back and go again – I think our boys are going to be alright, they're going to show something and there is going to be some leaders among them."

As for whether he thought his last kick of the day was a goal – the siren had just sounded and it was not counted – Green thought he had initially kicked it.

"My reaction was that I kicked the goal and then the siren went, so I saw it go through and then I heard the siren go, but it doesn't matter – to win by a point is even more special. My legs were just heavy by then," Green said.

Meanwhile, Green says the mood around the club is genuinely upbeat, despite the club's difficult year, adding the appointment of Jim Stynes as president has been significant.

"It's been fantastic. We're building our club and having 23,000 supporters out there – we didn't know how many would turn up – and to see that many and crack 29,000 members is all fantastic," Green said.

"We all know we have to build our club and having Jimmy and Connols [Chris Connolly] and all of the boys, we know it's big business and we've got to get supporters and we've got to play well – we're all in it together."
