West Coast recruited Cormack from Swan Districts, where he had played since 1986. He spent two seasons with the West Coast Eagles but was unable to cement his spot in the team and was traded to Fitzroy, for Dale Kickett. At a much weaker club, Cormack was able to get regular games and when Fitzroy defeated Sydney at the SCG in 1992, his two goals and 31 disposals earned him three Brownlow Medal votes.
Cormark was a Western Australian State of Origin representative at the 1988 Adelaide Bicentennial Carnival.
