Career Highlights

Mark Seaby (born May 1, 1984) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

He was recruited as the number 22 draft pick in the 2001 AFL Draft from West Perth. Mark made his debut for the West Coast Eagles in Round 4, 2004 against the Brisbane Lions. While not playing a great deal of AFL football in 2005 because of the presence of Dean Cox and Michael Gardiner, in 2006 he was given a chance to back-up ruck with Cox after Gardiner's sending to the WAFL. He is a capable ruckman and a good tall forward. After being relegated to the WAFL with the return of Gardiner in Round 13, he was brought back when Dean Cox broke his collarbone in the same game. He and Gardiner's first tandem game was a blowout, with Hawthorn's Peter 'Spida' Everitt beating them convincingly. Their next, and last, was largely better, with Seaby getting a season high 31 hitouts. Gardiner was fined and suspended indefinitely after a drunken car crash just days later, leaving Seaby to ruck without a specialised backup.
