Bio
A diminutive rover standing just 163cm, Frank Mount was a product of Parade College who earned his opportunity with Carlton during the 1927 season. He found it difficult to break into the Blues' senior side permanently, managing just four games across two years before his VFL career concluded. His impact on the game was far more profound in the amateur ranks, where he became a seminal figure as a co-founder of the Old Paradians Football Club in 1929 immediately following his departure from Princes Park. Mount dedicated the rest of his life to the club, serving for over half a century as a player, premiership coach, and president, a legacy immortalised by the naming of the Frank Mount Social Rooms at the college's Garvey Oval.
