Bio
Recruited from the Oakleigh Chargers with pick 81 in the 2008 National Draft, Zac Clarke arrived at Fremantle as a raw but athletically gifted ruckman with a basketball background. Standing 203cm, his defining attribute was his elite vertical leap and running capacity, allowing him to operate as a mobile tall capable of drifting forward to kick goals. For much of his tenure at the Dockers, he played as the understudy or partner to Aaron Sandilands, often stepping up when the All-Australian ruckman was sidelined. Clarke enjoyed his strongest run of form during Fremantle's contention window, playing 21 games in the 2013 season and featuring in the club's maiden Grand Final appearance against Hawthorn.
Persistent knee issues and inconsistent form eventually saw Clarke delisted by Fremantle at the end of 2017. Following a dominant 2018 season in the WAFL with Subiaco, where he anchored a premiership side, he was handed an AFL lifeline by Essendon during the pre-season supplemental selection period. Brought in to provide experienced cover for the Bombers' depleted ruck division, Clarke added another nine games to his tally in 2019 before being delisted a final time. While he struggled to permanently command a number one ruck role at the highest level, Clarke is remembered as a talented athlete who played a key supporting role in Fremantle's most successful era.
