After more than 100 games over six years in the Thirds and Seconds from 1953, Mountain made his senior debut in 1957. He had been senior listed as far back as 1955 - a year where he represented the VFL in a Seconds representative game - but was unable to break into the team.
Once he finally did make his debut, after again representing the VFL Seconds the week before, Mountain appeared in three matches late in 1957 but missed the finals and was dropped from the list at the end of that year. He played in 1958 pre-season practice games for both Geelong and North Melbourne before signing for the Cats where he played two more games. Midway through the year Geelong cleared Mountain to VFA club Camberwell where he played eight games. In the 1959 pre-season he trained with St Kilda and South Melbourne but didn't sign for either.
