Clements joined South Melbourne in 1904 after three seasons at Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Brunswick. A forward, Clements spent just two seasons with South Melbourne but managed to kick 68 goals, topping the club's goalkicking in both years.
Clements returned to Brunswick after the end of his VFL career, before moving first to Upper Goulburn Football Association club Murchison before moving back to the VFA at Northcote. While with Brunswick Clements kicked a club record 11 goals in a game against Essendon 'A', although he was mainly remembered by fans for his habit of leaving the ground at 1/2 time to drink three beers at a nearby pub before returning to the ground for the start of the third quarter (A break of no more than fifteen minutes).[1]
