Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

Final. Unfortunately the team was not quite good enough on the day but the Club is proud of
Graham's achievements.

John Barbuto won the A4 Best and Fairest award and it is to be hoped John will go on to better
things in season 1984.

UNDER 17

At the commencement of the season the Club had serious reservations as to the viability of our
Under 17 team. No coach could be found for the side and few players were available. The Club owes
a great vote of thanks to Lindsay Murphy and Don Brown-Kerr who took on the job of jointly
coaching the team and recruiting players. It is history now that the team contested the preliminary
final which is testimony to their dedication and hard work.

To the team of helpers that helped Don and Lindsay a big thank you.

The Best and Fairest in this grade was won by Peter Clarke who it is hoped will bolster the Open Age
teams in 1984.

UNDER 15

Garry Adams was reappointed U15 coach and enjoyed a much more successful season in 1983. Garry
combines coaching with playing and has to spend a considerable amount of time at the Club to fulfil
both his jobs.

Garry was able to recruit a number of his teammates to help him throughout the season and the
Club appreciates their efforts.

UNDER 13

Lindsay Murphy was again in charge of our U13 team who found the competition in Division 1 a little
bit strong. Lindsay received considerable support from Pat Considine who filled in for Lindsay when
he was unavailable.

Lindsay also has a considerable back-up team and the Club thanks than sincerely for their help.

John Rametta won the Club U13 Best and Fairest and the Club is confident that John is talented
enough to go on to better things.

UNDER 11

Don Brown-Kerr continued his long run of junior coaching with the Under 11's. Don again enjoyed
reasonable success on the field and his coaching and recruiting methods if unorthodox proved
popular with his players.

Don's team of helpers were there every Sunday to help out and gave wonderful service over the
year.
