Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

“Parkside, after receiving a shock by Wembley Park’s ability in the first half, came back during the
second half to record a vital 12 point win. A loss to Wembley Park would have been disastrous to
Parkside’s chances of holding the double chance. However, Wembley’s high score has done little to
help their percentage. Parkside 20.13 (133) d. Wembley Park 18.13 (121)

Parkside best: Casey, Power, Kennedy, Fraumano, Mills and Lockwood. Goals: Casey 5, Ross, Watts 3,
S. Watson 2, Papas, Byrachevski, Rees and Power.

Following a 28-point victory over top team Spotswood, Parkside have moved within two points of
taking the double chance in in this year’s FDFL.

Parkside 14.15 (99) d. Spotswood 10.11 (71)

“North Footscray won the right to play in the grand final when they outrun Parkside on the huge
Western Oval, following a brilliant last quarter in which their running players took the game away
from Parkside, particularly in the first five minutes of the last term. “

Second semi-final: North Footscray 11.11 (77) d. Parkside 8.9 (57)

Parkside best: Madden, Rees, Casey, Mills, Papas, Fraumano, Lockwood and Power.
