Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

“Parkside firmly established themselves as a final four contender when they downed Spotswood by
one goal in the best game of the season so far.

Parkside’s steadiness in a tight finish earned them the points.

Parks had a slight edge in attack but struggled to counter Spottie’s relentless attack in the third
quarter.

Spotswood as usual, lacked pace early, but gradually wore Parks down.

A shot for goal by a Spottie player after the final siren saw the amazing sight of Parkside players
sitting on each other’s shoulders in the goal square to keep out the kick, with a Spottie player pushing
the jockeys off the shoulders.

It was a hilarious sight, of which the field umpire was unaware.

Question: Is this permissive under the rules of the game. Parkside 15.7 (97) d. Spotswood 13.13 (91)”

“Seddon crept two places closer to the four when they wore down Parkside in a high standard, hard
contested game on Saturday. Numerous experienced Parks players were found wanting for pace and
stamina the bussiness end of the game.”
