Jordan Clark attributes his on-field banter to his cricketing background.

Mathew Stokes has pulled back the curtains on Geelong’s locker room banter on the Cats’ Official Podcast To the Final Bell.

Stokes who works as the club’s People and Engagement manager, labelled young gun Jordan Clark as the team’s ‘acid tongue’ for his hard-hitting one-liners.

“It’s probably fair. It’s probably the cricketing background in me,” Clark told the podcast.

“To be fair I was probably worse on the cricket field because half the time you’re sitting in the field bored, so you’ve got to make something of it. On the footy field you’re out of breath so it’s pretty hard to talk.”

“I like to have a bit of a chat here and there and it just comes out. Hopefully none of the boys take offence to it but it’s just how I play.”

When it comes to the Cats, Clark has a few favourite targets.

“Probably Kreugs (Nathan Kreuger), Kreugs is an easy target, he leaves himself wide open most of the time. I also don’t mind going for the housemate Jacob Kennerley at the moment,” Clark says.

“I like when I’m standing on the mark and he’s got the ball just abusing him. He always comes up to me after and we have a chat about it. I say I was just trying to put you off mate.”

Clark’s chat doesn’t just target his young teammates, with Brownlow Medallist Patrick Dangerfield also in the firing line.

“I have a pretty good relationship with Danger, you can have a joke with him most of the time.

“I don’t mind dishing it out to Danger and he’s pretty good at giving it back too so I enjoy that.”
