Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

Mr Pascarl had played with Parkside since he was 14. Back then most of the Aussie rules
competitions were held in the northern, southern and eastern suburbs.

It was then perhaps fitting that Parkside won the first FDL premiership in 1931, were runners-up the
next year and won the flag in 1933”

However, Parkside had a calamitous start to the FDFL 1993 campaign.

The 1992 FDFL premiers, Seddon started their 1993 campaign in sensational style with a whopping
21-goal win over the hapless Parkside. The Hawks, winners of the A 1 flag in the previous two
seasons, were too strong in the key positions and dominated the game from the first bounce.

The absence of key Parkside recruits didn’t help their cause, as Seddon ran away for a 111-point win.

Seddon 28.14-182 d. Parkside 8.23-71

A shocking start to the 1993 season continued in the second round. North Footscray had a
convincing 71-point win over Parkside. Spotswood had demolished Parkside by 125 points in the
following round. Spotswood 31.15-201 d. Parkside 12.4-76

*

Parkside’s form finally had begun to improve when they defeated West Footscray by 51 points.
Parkside 18.13-121 d. West Footscray 10.10-70

*

Parkside physically stronger, finished strongly against a tiring Port Colts, kicking eight goals to one to
record a 34 point victory.

This win puts the Parkers now within the top five and virtually finishes the Colts chances of playing in
the 1993 final series.

Zeno Tzatzaris, Cory Klaayson. Nick Hartzoglou. Romano Manilo and Nick Kotoski were the Parkers.
Parkside 16.19-115 d. Port Colts 11.15-81

Parkside continued to improve with a 28-point win over Altona in round 10. Parkside 16.8-104 d.
Altona 10.16-76

“Parkside, too tall and strong for West Footscray, finished all over the disappointing Roosters.
