Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

“Seddon, with greater pace and skill, ran out comfortable winners over Parkside in the Footscray
District Football League first semi-final to set up another showdown with Deer Park in this Saturday's
preliminary final. And Spotswood will play in this year’s FDL grand final after its convincing win over
Deer Park in the second semi.

Parkside's 84 point loss to Seddon was disappointing but the side's performance in just making the
finals was encouraging after an ordinary start to the season.

No doubt Parkside officials and supporters would be disappointed with their performance, as with
the fine weather a lot of FDL supporters thought with the height in the team that their marking
would sway the game their way.

This did not happen as Seddon got the ball to the deck, were too fast and backed up too well for the
slower Parkside team.

Parkside also had bad luck in losing Mark Komp in his last FDL game, with a displaced shoulder.

From a good team performance, Seddon's best players were Keith Royston, Scott Evans, Paul
Papadopolous, Ashley Royston, Paul Roche and Russell Wingrave.

Mick Svilar was Parkside's best and received support from Romano Manilo, Mick O'Dea, Ray Davis,
Nick Kotoski and Dean Callaway.”
