Overall
Clark is a prospect who looks to be ready for senior action from Round 1 next year. He will probably begin his career at half-back as he builds size and learns the craft, but it shouldn't be too long before he's roving stoppages.
Clark hits packs hard and has genuine contested-ball winning ability. He averaged 5.5 contested possessions in the Under-18s championships and 13.4 contested possessions in the TAC Cup.
Clark was touted as a potential No. 1 pick a couple of years ago but stagnated as his peers developed.
His TAC Cup was highlighted by an immense 34 disposal, 17 contested possession, eight tackle, seven clearance, 10 inside 50s and two-goal effort against the Gippsland Power.
