Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

Congratulations to Lindsay Murphy and his Under 13’s for their premiership and it was a fitting result
for a great team effort.

There have been many people this year who have worked extremely hard each week both with the
juniors and seniors. My thanks to those people and the way in which they have supported and
assisted the Club during 1982.

The challenge is now with us to succeed in 1983. To again reach the top we must work together as a
team and be dedicated to reach the top by winning an "A” Grade flag. There is no real substitute for
finishing at the top and I would leave you with that thought.

CLUB REPORT

On behalf of the President, Directors and Committee I submit for your consideration the 86th Annual
Report of the Parkside Football Club.

A1 Grade

Bryan Dalton was re-appointed Coach of our A Grade team for season 1982. After the celebrations of
1981 he, together with Chairman of Selectors, Ron Fraser and Captain Steve Watson set about
winning another premiership. Unfortunately the Club was unable to recruit sufficient players to
replace those who were unavailable from the previous season.

Bryan and Ron have been reappointed for season 1983 and have already spent many hours
interviewing prospective players to lift our Club back to Number One.

The Club wishes to thank all those officials who helped with our A Grade team and in particular Peter
Filbin (Team Manager), Anthony Barber (Assistant Team Manager, Terry Goodear, Peter Clarke and
Peter Favaro (Trainers) and Pat McDougall (Time-keeper). For the first time in the history of our Club
we won the “FDFL Efficiency Award” which demonstrates the ability of cur officials.

Congratulations are offered to Steve Power for winning the Best and Fairest Award in his second
season with the Club.

A2 Grade

Rod Crook returned to cur Club this season to take charge of our A2 team Rod's wealth of coaching
and playing experience enabled him to mould a good team which was unfortunate to miss playing in
the finals.

The Club wishes to thank those officials who helped Rod throughout the year.

Gary Kennedy had a runaway win in the Best and Fairest Award for the A2 team despite missing a
number of games and the Club congratulates him for it.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
