Freo star's hilarious response to iconic back page
But instead, it was the front page that caught the dashing defender's eye in a hilarious reaction video posted on Youtube.
Clark's emotion was evident as he celebrated the 13-point win at Optus Stadium on Sunday, raising his fists in the air as the siren sounded.
The moment encapsulated Fremantle's thrilling victory perfectly and was featured on the back page of Sunday's edition with the words 'Hawk Yeah'.
As Clark recounted the game on the club's 'Better Down Back' podcast, co-host and Dockers AFLW star Emma O'Driscoll held up The Sunday Times.
'How good!,' O'Driscoll said, admiring and also poking fun at Clark's squat-like stance in a clip posted to Youtube on Friday.
After noticing the story on the front page, which detailed the remarkable tale of the German backpacker Carolina Wilga, who was found alive after 12 days in the WA outback, Clark says: 'Anyway, flip it around.'
'Unbelievable how that German chick got found as well, by the way,' Clark says, prompted laughter from behind the camera.
'Out in the bush. I thought she was gone for all money.'
O'Driscoll struggles to contain herself at Clark's reaction, placing the newspaper on her lap and covering her face.
'What? She was missing in the bush for 12 days?' he continues.
'A pretty good story that one, a feel-good story.'
The Dockers will hope for another celebratory back page on Monday after facing ladder-leaders Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday.

Uma Thurman reveals the one reason she doesn't want to force her children to obey her
Uma Thurman does not want to force her children to obey her. The Kill Bill actress is a mother to three children: Maya, 26, and Levon, 23, from her marriage to Ethan Hawke, and Luna, 13, whose father is the financier Arpad 'Arki' Busson. Opening up about her busy life juggling her career and motherhood, Uma told The Sunday Times about her clear view on discipline when it comes to her kids: 'You don't want to make a girl be obedient. It's not in her best interests.'' She made the comments during a Zoom interview from her rural New York home. Uma also spoke warmly about the joys of her childrem's spirited independence, adding" 'It's kind of wonderful that they know the rules and don't always listen.' She added she reflects on her own youth when it comes to raising her family, adding: 'As a mother, the freedoms I was given as a teenage girl are mind-boggling. 'I mean, it's unimaginable. Those were different times.' Uma described her teenage years as marked by independence and self-reliance during her interview with The Sunday Times, By 15, she was earning money, navigating New York alone, and attending auditions with 'just a Filofax and a quarter in case I got lost and needed to call someone', she revealed. Her upbringing had encouraged autonomy – as her parents, Robert Thurman and Nena von Schlebrügge, were independent figures who allowed her to follow her path without restraint. She said: 'Both my parents did the same sort of thing when they were young. They were very independent. So I think there was a certain amount of being raised to be independent.' Uma shared her approach to parenting her own children, particularly when it comes to giving her eldest daughter, Maya, advice about her blossoming acting career. She said: 'Oh, she knows what she's doing. She went to Juilliard, thank God. She actually finished high school. 'And what I did learn (about mothering) is that nobody listens. So it's really about being there for them rather than telling them what to do.' She also spoke about allowing Maya freedom with her style, laughing her daughter has 'ransacked' her iconic 1990s wardrobe, including the very first Prada dress she wore to the Oscars. With her youngest now a teenager, Thurman described entering what she calls the 'sunset period' of motherhood. She added: 'I'm starting to think about what comes next, when I don't have to invest so much energy in shopping and driving and emailing teachers and all the things we do.'

Uma Thurman opens up about intense physical preparation she underwent for Kill Bill movies
Uma Thurman has opened up about the intense physical preparation she underwent for the Kill Bill movies. The 55-year-old actress, renowned for her iconic role as The Bride in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2, discussed her martial arts training during an interview about her new project, The Old Guard 2. Revealing her return to action films this year came without time for full training, Uma told The Sunday Times: 'Fortunately I had put in hundreds of hours learning how to hold a sword (for Kill Bill 1 and 2),' she said. In her new action film, a sequel to the 2020 Netflix action hit, Uma plays Discord, a 5,000-year-old immortal warrior who engages in an epic sword fight opposite Charlize Theron's character, Andromache, near a secret nuclear facility. Uma added about her Kill Bill muscle memory coming in handy during the shoot: 'You may not be limber and strong. 'But if your brain has learnt how to memorise sequences of movements, you can get back in that zone.' For Kill Bill, Uma trained for eight hours a day across three months in preparation for the role. That experience, she said, proved invaluable when returning to the genre. Her character in The Old Guard 2 marks her first sword-wielding performance since Quentin Tarantino's films, and it has been more than two decades since she last performed choreographed combat on screen. Uma's new film is directed by Victoria Mahoney and follows a group of age-old warriors with supernatural powers who fight to protect humanity. The original, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, was praised for its blend of grounded drama and stylised violence. Speaking about the appeal of The Old Guard, Uma said: 'I thought that first movie was really unusual, a superb female-led action film that had depth, drama and really beautiful, naturalistic acting.' She also credited her co-star and producer Charlize Theron, 48, as a major draw for signing on. Uma added: 'Charlize is a miraculous performer, a very powerful individual and as charismatic in person as on screen. 'And I liked the idea of playing a supporting role to another actress who I thought had done really significant work in the drama/action field.' Charlize, who also produced both instalments of The Old Guard, told The Sunday Times as part of its feature on Uma: 'I have always admired Uma from afar. From Dangerous Liaisons to Kill Bill, her work is a masterclass in finding the micro in characters. 'In moments I got so lost watching her in scenes we had together that I had to remind myself I was in the scene with her. She's that captivating.'

Norwegian author Ambjørnsen dies at age 69
Ingvar Ambjørnsen, a Norwegian author who mixed a sharp, even dark tone with humour and empathy in works that depicted the lives of the oppressed and vulnerable, has died, his publisher says. He was 69. The Cappelen Damm publishing house did not specify the cause of death. Ambjørnsen had long been public with his battle against a lung illness called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. Norwegian tabloid VG reported he is survived by his wife, Gabriele Haefs, saying she posted news of Ambjørnsen's death on Saturday. Born on May 20, 1956, in Tönsberg - described on his German-language author website as "Norway's most bar-filled town" - Ambjørnsen grew up in Larvik and worked in various jobs in industry and psychiatry before publishing his first documentary novel in 1981. Four years later he moved to Hamburg, where he lived for decades. "His books are characterised by powerful, realistic descriptions of the seamier side of life," the publisher said. Ambjørnsen became one of the publisher's best-known contemporary authors with four novels built around the character Elling, a shy and imaginative outsider who coped with the funny but endearing foibles of daily life after release from a psychiatric hospital. The comedy Elling - the story of two recently released mental patients bunking together in an apartment in Oslo - was nominated in 2001 for an Academy Award as best foreign-language film. The tale landed on Broadway in 2010, with a play starring Denis O'Hare and Brendan Fraser: one of the misfits was fixated on his mother, the other obsessed with sex. According to the author's website, Ambjørnsen wrote 18 novels and three collections of short stories as well as several books for children and youth. A newly written collection of short stories is set to go on sale in Norway on July 31.
