Stats
Bio
Recruited from Albury in the Ovens and Murray Football League, Bert Clarke was a tall utility who made a brief appearance for North Melbourne during the 1933 season. Standing at 185cm—a significant height for the era—Clarke was brought into the lineup midway through the year to add size to the Shinboners' structure, managing two goals across his four senior games. While his time at the elite level was short-lived, he returned to country Victoria to forge a lasting legacy in the Ovens and King competition. Clarke captain-coached Milawa to a premiership in 1940 and later served a distinguished tenure as the league's president in the 1950s, eventually earning life membership for his decades of service to the bush game.
