Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Ron “Beast” Fraser
By Ron Scott
“Parkside, with a brilliant last quarter, completely outclassed North Footscray on Saturday to record
their first FDFL A1 Grand Final in years
After trailing by 14 points at half-time Parkside set up their win when they outscored North in third
quarter despite kicking against the wind. In fact, by third quarter time they had changed their
fourteen point deficit to a three point lead.
It was left to Parkside to make sure they didn’t relax and they kicked 7.8 to North’s two points to
record an easy 51 point victory.
The architect of the Parkside win was obviously champion centre-half-forward Gary Considine who,
despite receiving close attention, was a match winner for the premiers.
Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
