*****
“Parkside are proving "giant killers" so far this season and have already accounted for previously
undefeated sides in Albion and West Footscray.
Improvement is in part due to the return of the Heathcote brothers: John and Ray.
They gave away football for a season to concentrate on sowing with a surf club and finished as
members of the Victorian surf boat crew which was runner-up in the Australian titles.
Another player who officials are hoping to persuade to play again this season is chunky rover Ray
Griffin — the club's best and fairest winner two seasons ago.”

“Interesting report in one Under 14 FDL match on Saturday, Parkside youngster was reported for
alleged misconduct in that he moved the goal post while an opponent was having a shot for a goal.
Hard to know if the incident was as serious as it might sound because according to my information
the “movement” of the goal post was only slight.
Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
