91 Annual General Meeting

President’s Report

To the members - ladies and gentlemen.
Reviewing season 1987, it was a season of many highs and a few lows.

While we managed to defeat the more fancied sides, it was the losses to the lower sides which
we were expected to beat, that cost us a place in the final five. We could possibly blame the
mid-season injuries for our losses, but we must all work toward attaining more depth in the
teams.
The boys who have progressed through the junior grades over the past few seasons have now
had two or more seasons playing senior football, and must be made to realize that they are as
good as, or better, than their opponents.

My thanks go to the the senior coaching panel, ably led by "A" grade coach Mark Komp, who
was in his first year of coaching. I am sure that mark with his enthusiasm, dedication and the
support of all players, members and supporters will take us to the top in 1988.

My thanks also go to Leo Dalglish, chairman of selectors, and John Ross assistant coach for the
time and effort they contributed to selecting and preparing the teams.

I would like to thank reserves coach Shaun Pierce also in his first year of coaching. Shaun carried
out his job with enthusiasm and did an excellent job of uniting the reserves and "A" grade.

Sincere thanks to Pat Considine who took over the demanding position of senior administrator.
His willingness to work and time spent on club business and activities, should be appreciated by
all members and players.

Deserving of thanks is Trevor Lockwood, who was not only a top "A" grade player for the team,
but also director of finance, which meant that Trevor contributed many hours ensuring the
committee had up to date information regarding budgets and finance at all times.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
