Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

To all trophy winners congratulations, and also those persons whom have achieved milestones this
year.

To our sponsors, thank you for your support for season 1995, because without the generosity of you
people and the faith you have in this great club of ours, your efforts are much appreciated.

Coaches Report

After the 1994 disappointment of missing the grand final, it was back to the drawing board and
Planning began for 1995.

The season started with the loss or several players, either through retirement or wanting to move
on.

I believe we recruited quite well, as these new players performed well during the Keilor Night Series
in which Parks won the Grand Final.

It was the first game of the year that set our season up, a great win against '94 premiers, Deer Park.
It was just fantastic. The players had that winning feeling as we won the first nine games.

As the season went on, we started to get more injuries and some lack luster performances. It was at
this time our depth was tested to the limit.

After the home and away games we had finished 2nd. We were all looking forward to the Final
Series. We played Deer Park in our first final and won quite well. Then it Was Spotswood in the 2nd
Semi. We went down by 19 points. We then had to face Deer Park again for the right to play Spotty
in the Grand Final. After promising so much it was very disappointing to go down and miss another
Grand Final.

As this is my last season at Parkside. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people
who helped and supported me in my three years at Parks. I don't need to mention names as you
know who you are.

I will miss Parkside Football Club and would like to wish the Committee and Players all the best in
the future.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
