Jordan Clark has long had the wood over West Coast - and now he’s got a Glendinning-Allan Medal to add to his superb record against Fremantle’s cross-town rivals.
SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE MEDAL VOTING BREAKDOWN
Clark said it was “very humbling” to be acknowledged for a dashing western derby display across half-back in Freo’s 56-point thumping, edging out spearhead teammate Jye Amiss to snare best-on-ground honours.
The defender had equal game-high tallies of 27 disposals and 11 score involvements, while racking up 622 metres gained. He added a rare goal to his tally - just the 10th of his Dockers career - after benefitting from a 50m penalty conceded by Harley Reid.
Clark polled eight of a possible nine votes across the three medal judges, who voted in a 3-2-1 format. Amiss polled six votes and Murphy Reid was the only other player to feature with four.
The win helped Clark continued his personal domination of West Coast across his career, with just one career loss in 10 matches against the Eagles.
Clark said he was thrilled to have performed well on the big stage.
“It’s very humbling to win the medal,” Clark told The West Australian.
“It’s not something you set out at the start of the game to get a hold of. It’s a nice little compliment to say you played a nice game.
“Only one person on the ground can win it. When I reflect on it, and I’m sure I will later (on Sunday night) when I get home and I’m sitting by myself with my dogs.
“But it’s nice to have a team win and play well in it.”

Clark paid tribute to his teammates after edging out Amiss for best-on-ground honours.
“Jye Amiss had a fair game – he kicked five goals… and little Murphy Reid I thought was sharp,” he said.
“They’re probably two guys who were right up there, and I think in time, they’ll probably win a few themselves.”
The 2025 All-Australian became the first defender from either club to snare the Glendinning-Allan Medal since West Coast’s Brad Sheppard in 2019.
The performance came in Clark’s 100th consecutive game to start his Fremantle career since crossing from Geelong at the end of 2021. He became the first Docker who didn’t begin his AFL career with the WA club to win derby best-on-ground honours since Josh Carr almost two decades ago in 2007.
